A few years ago, Craves spotted a gyrfalcon on the grounds of Ford's world headquarters; as she spread the word, traffic jams formed as people flocked to see this rare Arctic bird. Different social ranks had different birds under the Laws of Ownership - a king could have gyrfalcons, earls could have peregrines, priests could have sparrowhawks, while knaves would have the 'useless' kestrel. Gyrfalcons live around the Arctic and range in colour from being almost exclusively white in Greenland to usually black in Labrador in Canada. |
