    You are sooooo close to him, Andy! He could have gotten you at any second... That is an impressive bird of prey and I would keep my distance.

    Great shot!

    Fabulous shot, but I think I'd rather stay back from those talons and that beak! lol

    Terrific closeup. I didn't know they could be used to keep the seagulls away. Very interesting.

    Gloves are a smart idea. Those talons look sharp.
    Great photo! And great choice for F.

    No. Really, Andy? To keep the gulls away? Does he attack them, or are they just afraid of him on principle?

    I never realized they used falcons for that. How resourceful.

    Kay... all the gulls have to do is see them. No attacks involved. I noticed they also kept the elephants away.

    He's gorgeous. I've always been fascinated by birds of prey and I'd love to have one sitting on my hand one day. For some reason, I trust them more than parrots to behave.
