A falconer is a person who trains falcons — and often other hunting birds — and uses them to hunt. It is an old job and also a sport. A falconer learns how to feed the bird, how to call it back, and how to fly it at other animals. Though actually, many falconers today work with hawks and owls as well, not only falcons; the old name stuck. The word belongs to a small world: you meet it in history, nature programmes, and a few job titles, not in everyday chat.
馴鷹人；放鷹者
