| Summary: | "Modern Technologies Applied to Falconry and Reintroduction presents the world's first high tech training program for birds of prey. Renowned falconer Giovanni Granati combines ancient falconry traditions with cutting-edge tools, such as drones, microcameras, and electric lures, to revolutionize the training, rehabilitation, and reintroduction of raptors into the wild. Drawing on decades of experience and collaborations with institutions like the University of Teramo, Granati offers step-by-step guidance on imprinting, musculature development, classic and modern training cycles, and nutrition strategies. Rooted in classical techniques yet informed by current tools and metrics, the book includes customizable worksheets and adaptable protocols that support ethical, effective training across a range of species and situations. Designed for falconers, rehabilitation centers, and educators alike, it honors the legacy of the art while advancing best practices in raptor conditioning and care. Whether you're a traditional falconer, conservationist, or avian rehabilitation specialist, this manual offers a groundbreaking approach to treating raptors as elite athletes -- ensuring they return to the wild stronger, faster, and better adapted to survive."--Back cover. |
