Having reread the beginning of this book, I am concerned that it may seem a little negative to the reader who is hoping it will teach him or her how to train and care for a bird of prey or owl. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this before buying your bird of prey!, 18 Aug 2002
By A Customer
IF you've ever considered taking up falconry then read this book before buying your bird of prey - please! Jemima Parry-Jones offers a no nonsense, practical (warts and all)insight into all aspects of this art. Those who think it's going to be easy will be reconsidering after reading her wise and sometimes caustic comments about the reality of buying and keeping a bird.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book!, 28 Oct 2004
By Mr. Christopher J. Blore (Billericay, Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Jemima Parry-Jones is considered to be one of the UK's leading falconers, as is her father, Phillip Glasier. She writes with a sense of authority and is the owner of the National Birds of Prey Centre. I believe she is now moving to the US but her great books are still here with us.
In this book, she describes the process of selecting a suitable bird of prey for the beginner and aims to help them avoid the pitfalls that many others have previously encountered. You are then guided as to the best methods of housing and training and are initiated into the art of hunting with a bird of prey, although this is by no means fully covered because it is intended as a book for the absolute beginner with no prior knowledge of the sport. Despite this, she can come across as being rather self-opinionated and therefore do not be surprised if you find yourself feeling rather insulted by the end of it as she can come across as being negative and attempting to discourage the poor novice. All things considered, I would not hesitate to recommend this book to anyone looking to enter the wonderful sport of falconry and train their own bird of prey.

5.0 out of 5 stars A valuable printed asset., 1 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Training Birds of Prey (Hardcover)
The book defines within the first couple of pages if you are the right person to take up the art of falconry, if you do continue to read, the dedication and devotion to the birds from Mrs Parry-Jones is conveyed across as not a passion but a law if you decide to take up the sport. A detailed account of every step to sucessfull falconry through the eyes of a master.
