Choi ooo... This is the height of it. Come see a large facility for birds.
The bird that is receiving so much attention in the middle east is not even the Eagle but the FALCON
The falcon is very much revered in the United Arab Emirate and the surrounding gulf regions including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait. The falconry is part of the rite of passage for young Emirate men.
The Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital was established in 1999 as a facility for only falcons but transitioned into treating all birds and poultry in 2006. It is now a major tourist site in the Abu Dhabi Emirate having treated over 67000 birds since inception. The hospital treats about 9000 birds annually.
The hospital offers a range of services via specialised centres and units including, an intensive care unit, breeding centres, quarantine centres, air conditioned rooms to rest. It even have Xray departments and ophthalmology departments for the up-keep of the falcons.
