The Falconry Experience

Discover one of Malta's Oldest Traditions

Meet The Falconer

Lawrence Formosa

Lawrence has been handling falcons for 42 years, yet still, after all that time, feels an incredible excitement every time he takes his birds for a flight. The reason for this? The unpredictability of nature! Each flight with Lawrence's birds will be unique and that is what he lives for!

 

Falcons on the Maltese Islands have a long and interesting history where at one point the birds were literally worth their weight in gold. For Lawrence, this certainly remains true, especially for his star bird Jessie, a Harris Hawk who's talent and skill in the air has brought notoriety to the pair. It's a pleasure to observe the special relationship Lawrence has with all his birds.
