He is preparing them for falcon hunting season where he will hunt in Uzbekistan, Pakistan and other places in a tradition that goes back millennia. There is great symbolism in falconry and the courage of the bird.

دبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة، 20 سبتمبر 2020: صورة للشيخ بطي مكتوم بن جمعة مع صقر الجير الثمين. يبدأ الشيخ تدريباته قبل بزوغ الفجر خلال الموسم باستخدام تقنيات متعددة لتدريب الصقور على مواجهة ظروف الصيد الأكثر صعوبة. وبذلك، يكون الشيخ قد درّبه لمطاردة الصقر في أوزبكستان وباكستان وأماكن أخرى في تقليد يعود إلى آلاف السنين. يشكّل الصيد بالصقور رمزاً وطنياً ويعكس شجاعة هذا الطائر.
