Falconry And Parahawking

Parahawking is a not-so-long-ago launched art in which hunter birds are trained to fly with paragliders, guide them to thermals and even produce aerobatic activities. Eagles, vultures and kites are mostly used for the purpose. Black kites are much liked by the adventure seekers for they are very agile in flights and are able to out-manoeuvre even the most skilled paragliders.
