Now that would be a challenge to train as a falconry bird! That's a hobby of yours isn't it? Cool. I had a friend with a pair of some sort of eagle. Can't remember the name but I took some photo's of them once. Awesomely beautiful and keenly purposeful things. These small bipedal dinosaurs may not be that disimilar to birds though as they are their direct descendants. Or rather they share a common ancestor, there were plenty of birds in the cretaceous sky by the time velociraptors lived. I went to an exhibition of dinosaur/bird crossover fossils once. Evolution caught in the act. They were amazing specimens, preserved in fine limestone you could see every feather and tooth.
