I attended this incredible event this morning, these birds want for NOTHING, they're better treated than most humans, they actually fly them in 1st Class on Emirates Airline when they take them overseas to compete!!
Prizes stand at around 5 million Dirhams and multiple luxury $x$ SUV's (Nissan Patrols, Lexus, Range Rovers) and the competitors stand to make a tidy sum if their birds are the fastest.
The birds I saw today are all Gyr-Peregrine hybrids and they fly, timed, a 400 metre course.
