Picture Yourself Paragliding With Birds of Prey

Parahawking - paragliding with birds of prey

Can you see yourself soaring through the sky on a tandem paraglider?? The bird of prey - perhaps a hawk or a vulture - soars ahead to find the best thermals for your flight. Then, the bird returns and gently lands on your gloved hand for morsel of meat, a well-earned treat.

Parahawking is a unique blend of paragliding and falconry.? The video is great armchair viewing, even if you never intend to take one of the actual flights.
