The Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX) has announced the launch of a new edition of the "Most Beautiful Captive-Bred Falcons" contest. WAM
Participants will present their best captive-bred falcons from farms in the region and elsewhere.
A jury comprising Emirati and international experts assesses the falcons based on criteria such as weight, symmetry and colour of feathers and the general aesthetic appearance of the bird.
Because the falconers present birds bred in captivity, the need to use untamed falcons from the wild is eliminated, allowing for more reproduction in their natural habitat.
