The Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition (ADIHEX) has announced the Most Beautiful Captive-Bred Falcons competition.
With three categories, the most beautiful local and international saker, the most beautiful pure local and international gyr and the most beautiful gyr peregrine, the competition aims to preserve the heritage and protect falcons.
A panel will judge the birds on their weight and body measurements, the symmetry and colour of the feathers, the details of their head, body and legs, their general aesthetic appearance, as well as their health and the absence of any diseases.
The competition will be held on 2 October at the Emirates Falconers Club stand at 6pm.
