With all the new birds and the hunting, I'd like to have a falconry glove (if they don't have a more specific name). You know, one of these:
I think to make one, something like this (I loosely based it on normal leather gloves):
Falconry glove2 days
125 grams of leather
tools: Needle, bodkin
Description: A long glove made of thick leather, worn to protect the hand against bird-claws. (or something like that)

I believe they use the term "falconry" for quite a lot of birds
(if I can believe the wikipedia page on it)
Falconry is the hunting of wild quarry in its natural state and habitat by means of a trained bird of prey. There are two traditional terms used to describe a person involved in falconry: a falconer flies a falcon; an austringer (German origin) flies a hawk (Accipiter and some buteos and similar) or an eagle (Aquila or similar). In modern falconry the Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) and the Harris hawk are often used. The words "hawking" and "hawker" have become used so much to mean petty traveling traders, that the terms "falconer" and "falconry" now apply to all use of trained birds of prey to catch game.

No way! I -just- started looking at these yesterday to try and suggest them. Looks perfect mate. Maybe change bird-claws to talons?

I don't suppose it could also be a container and hold a days meat feed?
Or is that just crazy talk..

I -was- thinking there should be a small amount of meat feed needed for hunting with birds... But that's for another suggestion
