The Wildebeest's Review of Birds of Prey - A Kinship

“Birds of Prey – A Kinship” is a rather special book which was written and illustrated by a remarkable person. Heinrich von Michaelis is a renowned artist of nature and other subjects.

This book describes von Michaelis’s passion for birds of prey and his relationship with individuals of a variety of species. He has studied these birds in the wild as well as cared for a number of raptors that came into his possession. These include Lanner Falcon, Verreaux’s Eagle, African Fish-Eagle, Bateleur and more.

There are also chapters on a number of more general topics such as mythology, Ancient Egypt, cruelty, endurance, falconry and much more.

To me this book is a collector’s item that should be added to anyone with an interest in birds of prey or birds in general.
