Definition of doğanla avcılık in Turkish English dictionary

falconry

The sport of hunting by using trained birds of prey, especially falcons and hawks

looking up, I observed a very slight and graceful hawk, like a night-hawk, alternately soaring like a ripple and tumbling a rod or two over and over, showing the underside of its wings, which gleamed like a satin ribbon in the sun, or like the pearly inside of a shell. This sight reminded me of falconry and what nobleness and poetry are associated with that sport.

{n} a training up or fowling with hawks

the art of training falcons to hunt and return

{i} hunting with falcons

Falconry is the skill of training falcons to hunt, and the sport of using them to hunt. the skill or sport of using falcons to hunt. Sport of employing falcons or other hawks in hunting game. Falconry has been practiced in the Middle East at least since the 8th century BC. It flourished among the privileged classes in Europe in the Middle Ages. It began to die out after the advent of the shotgun and the enclosure of open lands in the 17th century. Today its popularity is limited to various hawking clubs and associations. The bird most commonly used is the peregrine falcon, though the goshawk and sparrow hawk have also been used. Birds are caught wild or raised from birth. Training involves selective use of a leather hood (called a rufter) and leg thongs (jesses) to keep the animal under control while familiarizing it with its new environment. During the hunt the trained bird is released to bring down its prey; it then returns to the hawker or is collected at the kill site

The art of training falcons or hawks to pursue and attack wild fowl or game

The sport of taking wild fowl or game by means of falcons or hawks
