The two birds that fly with the pilots were not taken from the wild but rescued from a local farmer. Adam Hill and Rajesh Bomjam, owners of Sunrise Paragliding, learned the traditional methods of the ancient sport of falconry to train the birds. Thanks for your comment! Mary Corner

Charlie,
This paragliding outfit says it is dedicated to promoting responsible tourism. The two birds that fly with the pilots
were not taken from the wild but rescued from a local farmer. Adam Hill and Rajesh Bomjam, owners of Sunrise Paragliding, learned the traditional methods of the ancient sport of falconry to train the birds.
Thanks for your comment!

When they die more get stolen. Did you get a chance to check on the conditions these birds are kept in, or their morbidity rates? What sort of turnover of "trained" kites there is? Be interesting to know... Incidentally, there's actually no species called a "Pariah" Kite - it's a local name for the Black Kite. Corner
