Five Star Gift Ideas

What an amazing interest your son has in falconry and bird of prey handling! It's always great to encourage and support a passion like this. Here are a few gift ideas that I think he will love:

1. Falconry Experience: Consider gifting him an experience day where he can actually have hands-on training and learn from professionals. This will give him a unique opportunity to interact with birds of prey up close and personal, and deepen his knowledge and skills in falconry.

2. Falconry Equipment: Help him take his passion to the next level by gifting him some essential falconry equipment. This could include gloves, a falconry hood, a leash, or even telemetry equipment for tracking birds. These tools will not only assist in his training and handling but also show that you support his hobby.

3. Bird of Prey Books: There are plenty of comprehensive books available on the subject of falconry and bird of prey handling. Look for titles that cover various aspects such as caring for birds, training techniques, and the history of falconry. These books will not only provide him with useful knowledge but also inspire and enrich his understanding of his favorite hobby.

4. Photography Equipment: Your son might also enjoy capturing beautiful moments with birds of prey while out in the field. Consider getting him a high-quality camera, lens, or even a drone with a camera attachment to enhance his photography skills. This will allow him to capture stunning images and build a portfolio of his experiences.

5. Membership to a Falconry Club or Organization: Research local falconry clubs or organizations and surprise your son with a membership. This will not only provide him with opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals but also give him access to workshops, seminars, and training events that can further advance his knowledge and skills.

6. Unique Falconry Artwork: Consider finding a beautiful piece of falconry artwork or a custom commission from a talented artist. It could be a painting, a sculpture, or even a handmade falconry-themed piece of jewelry. This thoughtful gift will serve as a constant reminder of his passion and add a touch of artistry to his surroundings.

7. Falconry Clothing and Accessories: Look for clothing and accessories featuring falconry designs or bird of prey motifs. T-shirts, hoodies, hats, or even jewelry with falconry-related symbols will allow your son to showcase his passion proudly.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is to show that you support and value his interests. Whatever you choose, make sure it aligns with his love for falconry and bird of prey handling, and it is something that he can cherish for years to come.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
