Falconry in Frechen: The fascinating world of birds of prey

Falknerei Frechen: A stone eagle named Richard

The falconry Frechen houses a variety of birds of prey, including the impressive Steinadler Richard, who is a real gem at the age of 23. Richard is characterized by an extraordinary wing span of two meters and a remarkable pressure power. Mario Scholz, the passionate falconer and operator of the falconry, explains that this affection between him and Richard is mutual. The close binding is reflected in her daily interaction, in which Richard often happens to climb on his falcon's grateful arm. In the falconry, great emphasis is placed on the partnership relationship between Falkner and Vogel.

In addition to Richard, Artemis, a cordiller-eagle lady, also lives in falconry. These impressive birds are remarkable due to their size and strength and live in a large garden, where they act in a community with other birds of prey, ferrets and other animals. The trained hand of the Scholz family and their volunteers ensures that all animals are cared for and treated in a species -appropriate manner.

An essential aspect of the Falknerei Frechen is the education of the public about nature conservation and the behavior of birds of prey. The "Skyhunter" offer various programs in which school classes and other interested parties can immerse themselves in the fascinating world of falconry. Guided tours, photo shoots and falconer's seminars are on the program to raise awareness of these majestic animals and to protect their habitat. Ariana, which was raised as handbowing, is particularly popular and is often lovingly hugged by visitors.

In addition to animal welfare and education, the Falknerei Frechen is also involved in the emergency care of injured birds of prey. Cooperation with the police and fire brigade ensures that injured animals are quickly cared for. In addition to the incoming care, the team takes care of the forwarding of the birds to suitable care stations and is committed to clarifying how the public can act correctly in such cases.

The commitment of Mario Scholz and his family shows that the falconry is not only a hobby, but also a valuable resource for nature conservation and the awareness of the public. The daily work with these remarkable birds not only emphasizes their beauty and importance, but also created a connection between man and nature.
