Our organization is dedicated to the preservation of the ancient art of falconry, a hunting tradition defined as ' taking quarry in its natural state and habitat by means of trained birds of prey'. Preserving falconry involves maintaining not only the traditional culture that builds practical skills of empathy with animals, but also the conservation of raptors and their prey through preservation of natural habitats. We therefore encourage falconry within the context of sustainable use of wildlife.
We also promote ecological studies and veterinary research on birds of prey and, where appropriate, domestic breeding of raptors for falconry. Including such species as Peregrine falcons, Goshawks, Saker and Gyr falcons and all other species of raptors in whatever part of the world they may be used for falconry and hunting. In our site, you will find pages on the history of falconry and its role in conservation, as well as details of how modern falconry is practised. You can visit our extensive Global Membership list, and read about our worldwide activities in the IAF Newsletter.

The OFB (Austrian Falconers Association) was founded in 1950 and is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. We will do so in style with an outstanding fieldmeeting in the heart of some of Europe's best hunting grounds. We are planning to have 3 full days of hunting around of 'Falkenstein', which is the official venue.
In addition to our anniversary we are also celebrating the recognition of Austrian Falconry as a National Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. Numerous VIPs from national and international politics as well as UNESCO officials are expected to follow our invitation and participate in our celebrations.
The OFB will do its utmost to maintain its falconry standard and represent falconry as a cultural heritage at this fieldmeet.
