    What is the name given to a young Hawk taken from its nest for training ?

    Question #15804. Asked by SWF. (Jan 08 02 10:33 AM)


    Calpurnia

    		Eyas or Eyass

    From Encarta:-

    'An eyas is a young hawk taken from the {nest;} it is easier to obtain and train than a grown wild bird. A haggard, or blue hawk or passage hawk, is a mature wild bird, better at hunting than an eyas but harder to train and more frequently lost in the course of hunting.'
