- Parahawking bezeichnet die Kombination von Gleitschirmfliegen und Falknerei. Hierbei werden Greifvögel von einem Falkner trainiert, gemeinsam mit Gleitschirmen zu fliegen. Beide nützen die natürlichen Aufwindquellen der Thermik. Gleitschirm-, Drachen- und Segelfliegerpiloten berichten des Öfteren über gemeinsame Flüge mit wilden Greifvögeln. Dies sind aber fast immer zufällige Begegnungen und dauern meist nur einige Minuten. Beim Parahawking begleitet der Vogel „seine“ Piloten oft über mehrere Stunden und fliegt oft mit einem Abstand von wenigen Metern nebenher. (de)
- Parahawking is an activity that combines paragliding with falconry. Birds of prey are trained to fly with paragliders, guiding them to thermals. Parahawking was developed by British falconer Scott Mason in 2001. Mason began a round-the-world trip in Pokhara, Nepal, where many birds of prey – such as the griffon vulture, steppe eagle and black kite – can be found. While taking a tandem paragliding flight with British paraglider Adam Hill, he had the opportunity to see raptors in flight, and realised that he could combine the sports of paragliding and falconry. The team started by training two black kites, but have since added two Egyptian vultures, Kevin and Bob, to the team. Only rescued birds are used – none of the birds have been taken from the wild. Mason and Hill documented their endeavours, with help from colleague Graham Saunders-Griffiths, in a film entitled Parahawking. In addition to being named Best Debut Film at the 2003 Festival International du Film de Vol libre in St-Hilaire, France (held as part of the Coupe Icare), and winning top prize in the 'Air' category at the 5th Hory a Mesto international festival of mountain films in Slovakia, Parahawking was a finalist in the category of 'Best Film on Mountain Sports' at the 2003 Banff Mountain Film Festival, and competed for the title of 'Best Documentary' at the 2004 . Mason's work has been featured in many publications around the world, from falconry-related journals and newsletters, to paragliding publications, mainstream magazines and newspapers. (en)
