Stoney100 1,179 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 They do love their falcons over there tbh so you have probably been out with some of the best around Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stoney100 1,179 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) I don’t know his name but I’m sure there was someone over here who the Arabs built massive avairys for and paid him to rear/train the best birds he could find with no expense spared then they took them over to Dubai/Saudi to fly them. Lazy in a way but when your worth billions I suppose you have better things to do than train the birds yourself lol Edited July 26, 2019 by Stoney100 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s not the one I heard of, he was more towards Cheshire way I think but just looked bryn up and it’s a similar story to what I heard so guess it’s all true! https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/445233/Entrepreneur-Falcons-money-homeless-Dubai/amp Madness but them Arabs want the best of the best in everything, the horse stable called godolphin loses millions every year but they aren’t bothered about that as long as the horses are winning the top races and they have the best jockeys etc. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tatsblisters 7,945 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Remember a lad giving a talk at one of the Yorkshire Falconry club meetings years ago when it was held in the barn at the Rockingham arms in the village of Wentworth about the peregrine breeding program he had done for some rich Arabs a very interesting talk it was.

jok 3,036 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Slightly off beam we drove from Dubai to Abu Dhabi in a landi. An eventful trip for sure, and although there wasn't a kebab at the end of it, we found a place, just over the Al Maktoum bridge, where we had a lovely pint of Usher Vaux bitter courtesy of some Dutch lads. Brilliant. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
