Finally on Friday 15th March we can live a day like a real FALCONER!!! We went to Erba: here we meet "I Falconieri del Feudo" and their birds of prey: Ettore, Lady, Vidal, Romeo and the small owl Agata :)
Ettore: the male buzzard
Lady: the female buzzard
Giovanni, the Falconer
Romeo, a nice barn owl
Videl is a curious real owl
The small owl Agata looks at us with its beautiful eyes!
Romeo is playing with us: he flies from one of us to another one, he stays on our heads ...
... and he seems to like our Music teacher!
At the end of our adventure we prepare a corner to show what we have learned on Falconry ...
Here you can see pictures of our classes with falcons
