Their sale is quite lucrative...some unscrupulous falconers here and big business in the middle east...google saudi falcon hospital.<br /><br />I am a falcon watcher, mostly of the pairs at boxes placed on buildings & bridges. There's a natural cliff nest not too far from where I live in NY. The climbing trails are closed but they absolutely do not publish any hint of where to find it. Just too much risk of theft.
