Paul,
Very new to me I have only heard of the Royal Mews in the past. Watched many documentaries covering the keeping traditions, disciplines of Falconry, hunting Birds of prey.
They seem pretty solitary, require rather intensive bonding etc.
Thank you for your interesting pics and stories and wish you son well with his obsession I believe you have done him proud in every way. His Xmas Greetings on his worthy site I also reciprocate extend to you and families.
Kind regards Peter.
