Starting a Falconry Business

Falconry

A teenager has become the youngest professional falconer in the UK after receiving a government backed grant to start his business.

Falconry is the art of training falcons or hawks to pursue and attack wild fowl or game.

The Denbighshire Free Press has more:

Peter Wright, of Llangywer, near Bala, was 15 when he was awarded £1,000 by the Llwyddo’n Lleol (Succeeding Locally) scheme which aims to help youngsters in North Wales aged 11 to 19.

What kind of business can someone into falconry start? According to the BBC, “the birds of prey are used for pest control and falconry displays, while hawks have been specially trained to deliver rings to the best man during wedding services.”
