Peregrine Falcon on Perch
The falcon was very dear to Mughal Emperor Jahangir as a bird of prey and he used to marvel at their sharpness. He wrote, “I occupied myself hunting with falcons. By chance, a karwanak crane took flight. I sent the white falcon of which I am extremely fond for it. The crane escaped its clutches and the falcon rose into the air and went so high that it disappeared from view.... suddenly it appeared far away in the tree.... This is a gift from out of the blue that no one had expected and it made me very happy. As a reward for this service, I increased his rank and gave him a horse and a robe of honour.”
