Young Falconer Steals the Show at Abu Dhabi Exhibition

Imagine a young boy, Hamad, who loves falcons.

He's only 9 years old, but he's become a star at a big show in Abu Dhabi!

This show, called ADIHEX, is all about falconry and other traditional things.

Hamad's family has been doing falconry for a long time.

His uncle remembers his grandfather teaching the founding father of the UAE, and his father was a falconer too.

Hamad grew up around falcons and learned to handle them with skill.

Falconry is really important in the UAE's culture, it's been around for hundreds of years, and it's awesome to see someone like Hamad keeping the tradition alive.

At the exhibition, falcons can even be sold for a lot of money.
