'''Cool Facts:''' The Aplomado falcon will chase after game such as small birds and quail, by pursuit flight, which is flying after quarry flushed out. It is mainly acquired from breeders because of its scarcity in the United States, and many falconers in Europe will buy a pair for about £4000. It's admired for its accipiter-like hunting style, which has made the bird famous for being more like an accipiter than a falcon. | '''Cool Facts:''' The Aplomado falcon will chase after game such as small birds and quail, by pursuit flight, which is flying after quarry flushed out.
