The royal falcons from the United Arab Emirates stole the show during the International Fair in Thessaloniki, Greece on Thursday (September 15).

The royal falcons are constantly monitored by a specialized veterinarian and the falconry vet of the Dubai royal family,

Three different species of falcons are hosted at the Thessaloniki International Fair. The white-billed gerbil, the steppe gerbil and the peregrine falcon.

The white falcon is the falcon of Africa, it is quite sensitive and is the symbol of the royal family, the falcon is the classic falcon of the desert and is what the Bedouins used here for hundreds of years, while the peregrine falcon is characterized as the fastest creature in the animal kingdom and can develop a speed of 320 km/h.

The young falcons wear a hood over their face, as they are not used to being exposed to the world. The hood is for their own good since hawks' stimuli are based on their vision, so wearing the hood protects and calms them down
