In the course of your travelling in Kyrgyzstan it may be clear that they still may be seen as a significant part. As only rich people could afford it. They hunted in 12th and 13th centuries, with eagles domesticated by berckutchi for fur and meet for villages of Kyrgyzstan. Knowledge of eagle hunting were going from generation to generation and health and strong men could train eagles. You can see eagles and the way of them hunting with you to be involved in the process when you start for a tour in Kyrgyzstan.
