Bridget took this photo of her friend Edel holding a Peregrine falcon at a festival a few weeks back. When they're not 'working' the falcons must wear small leather helmets to keep them calm and, I assume, prevent them from shredding people's faces.
They sure do like falconry in the UAE. Reminds me of that ghastly SNL skit with Will Forte. You know, The Falconer, aka Ken Mortimer, the businessman-turned-hermit who lives with his beloved pet falcon Donald. By the way, ever notice Will Forte looks exactly like one of the guys from Kraftwerk. You be the judge.
