Falconry demo was held twice in the day. The first demo had the hawks released from the top of a nearby skyscraper and they flew down to their falconers in the garden.For the demo, they showed the hawks swoop low from one falconer to another. They also showed a live capture (kill?) of a released pigeon. Very fast.
