  • The Golden Eagle Festival, or simply Eagle Festival (Mongolian: Бүргэдийн наадам / Bürgediin naadam, [purɡɘˈtiŋ ˈnaːtəm]; Kazakh: Бүркіт той / Bürkıt toi, [b̥ʉrˈkɘt tʰɔj]), is an annual traditional festival held in Bayan-Ölgii aimag, Mongolia. In the eagle festival, Kazakh eagle hunters (Burkitshi) celebrate their heritage and compete to catch small animals such as foxes and hares with specially trained golden eagles, showing off the skills both of the birds and their trainers. Prizes are awarded for speed, agility and accuracy, as well as for the best traditional Kazakh dress, and more. The Eagle Festival is held during the first weekend in October, run by the Mongolian Eagle Hunter's Association. Dark, rocky mountainous terrain forms the backdrop to the festivities, which incorporate an opening ceremony, parade, cultural exhibitions, demonstrations and handcrafts in the centre of the town of Ölgii, followed by sporting activities and competitions 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) outside of town towards the mountains. Dressed in full eagle hunting regalia and mounted on groomed decorated horses, the entrants compete for the awards of Best Turned Out Eagle and Owner; Best Eagle at Hunting Prey and Best Eagle at Locating Its Owner from a Distance. Other sporting activities include horse racing, archery and the highly entertaining Bushkashi - goatskin tug of war on horseback. The Eagle Festival is featured in the 2016 documentary The Eagle Huntress, in which the 13-year-old Kazakh girl Aisholpan becomes the first female to enter and win the competition. A smaller festival, the Sagsai Golden Eagle Festival on 17-18 September each year especially for photographers, cinematographers and photo journalists, and the Altai Kazakh Eagle Festival, is also held each year in the nearby village of Sagsai in the last week of September. It follows much the same pattern as the larger Golden Eagle Festival, with about 40 eagle hunters participating. (en)
  • Праздник орла отмечается преимущественно казахским населением Монголии. Итоговым событием праздника является соревнование беркутчи — охотников с беркутами. Целью праздника служит демонстрация умения командовать птицей и добывать с её помощью дичь, а в более широком плане — прививание национальных традиций молодому поколению. Данное мероприятие весьма популярно среди иностранных туристов. Проводится, в основном, на территории аймака Баян-Улгий на западе Монголии, иногда в окрестностях столицы Улан-Батора. Тем не менее, на праздник орла приезжают практически со всех аймаков страны. Охота с орлами предваряется проведением разного рода национальных игр (скачки, кокпар и другие). После этого начинается основное действие, состоящее из этапов: 1. * подсадка — подчинение парящего беркута призывающей команде хозяина; 2. * притравливание — демонстрация способности беркута точно поражать привязанную цель; 3. * заключительный этап — взятие живого зверя, как правило, лисы или зайца.
