How Professionally Are Falcons Trained?
4000 feet up in the sky is no joke for falcons and humans both. Thus, trained flying falcons for such events are mandatory. These trained falcons are referred to as athletes; just like humans, they also need to be fit and fine for flying up high in the sky. It is often hard to train them in the sky as compared to ground-based training, and it also takes a lot of time. Here is how the professional trainer trains and tames with modern training techniques.
Desensitization
Most of the birds are naturally terrified of large and noisy objects, as are falcons; such things make them uncomfortable. To overcome this trainer spend months training their falcon from the sounds like the propane burner of a hot air balloon. Such practices work very well, and they perform well enough to entertain humans for a falconry show.
High Altitude Conditioning
Falcons also have to be fit to perform such activities, just like a human athlete. Therefore, having cardiovascular strength is the most important aspect before taking Falcon high in the sky. To achieve such core strength, these birds perform vertical flight exercises.
Targeted Recall
Trainers make their falcon friendly with the landing spot, which is a balloon basket, even when it is in the sky. Therefore, the bird sees the balloon as a safe landing zone even when the bird is diving from the sky. The moment when a bird dives from the sky and lands on the balloon is breathtaking. With a Hot Air Balloon Dubai Ride, you can also experience such a wonderful view.

Safety Tips
Having a package that covers your safety for events like In-Flight falconry gives peace of mind. However, many people still have a sense of doubt about their safety. To overcome such doubt, follow the tips below.
- Clothes – Make sure to wear comfortable clothes because once the balloon takes off, you will not be coming back before the ride completes. Avoid wearing clothes that are too baggy because they can be a problem when the falcon lands.
- Footwear – Always wear comfortable and relaxing shoes because a hot air balloon can be a long ride. Avoid wearing slippery shoes in the basket.
