Helpfulness
Take a look over the fence and watch the ladies talking to the falcons and taking care of their falcons. These great birds seem to have the need to get attention like small kids and this is maybe the reason, why they will be able to do such a perfect falcon-show. For the birds it is like playing and fooling around and they will not at all care about the lots of people around of them. these birds will fly from the hand of one their masters to the other one, passing by the audiance in a distance of maybe half a meter, you may take pics from a short distance, that is really great !
The cap that some of them are carrying is part of the training : When they get the cap, they know that free flying , hunting and / or a good meal is not far away, it helps them to concentrate on the show. Each bird has its own cap, measured exactely according to its head.
