These distinctive features contribute to the falcons' capabilities, allowing them to endure continuous training, exhibit strength for fast flight, and skillfully navigate air currents.
Rakan Al-Shaibani, a falconer, shared insights with the Saudi Press Agency, highlighting the variation in weight and size among falcons, dependent on their specific type. Falconers are particularly discerning, seeking birds that stand out in terms of wing span, overall shape, and the aesthetic appeal of their faces.
