Ever heard of parahawking? - GoFuckYourself.com

This sounds awfully cool!

Parahawking is a fusion between Falconry and Paragliding. These birds of prey are trained to fly with paragliders and to guide them to the thermals. Parahawking also gives you a unique opportunity to interact with birds of prey in their own environment.

That's pretty fucking cool.

I am a paraglider pilot, but have never flown with a falcon. I was at Torrey Pines in San Diego last weekend and there was a guy with his falcon out, they flew around for a while and fed her in mid-air. I have also gotten to hold an owl that a parahawker i know keeps. Its really neat to see these birds up close and well behaved. Parahawking is big in Nepal and India.

I must be really tired; this struck me as possibly a funny euphemism.

All I saw were the birds coming to the glove to get the meat that they are expecting.... I'm not saying this is fake, but they didn't show the hawks leading them to anything....
