falconries
Hawk hunting establishments
Falconries is the plural of falconry, the practice of hunting with trained birds of prey—typically falcons, hawks, or eagles.
The word rarely appears in plural form, but when it does, it usually refers to multiple establishments where falcons are kept and trained, or to distinct traditions of the practice across different cultures: The falconries of the Middle East have ancient roots.
