This is the amusing moment pet falcons were spotted riding on the back of their owner's motorcycle.

A group of friends driving along a road saw two well-behaved birds wearing helmets perched on the passenger seat in Rayong, Thailand.

Footage shows the animals gripping a custom arched platform while their keeper manoeuvres on the highway.

They can be seen seemingly enjoying the breeze while the man carefully navigates through the middle of the road.

The filmer said: 'We were shocked to see the birds behind him. It was so amusing because that was something we don't see every day.'

Falcons are intelligent birds of prey with strong hunting instincts, so they require consistent training, patience, and understanding from their handlers. They can become quite docile and even affectionate towards their human caretakers.
