Falconry in [[Burgundie]] became popular among the noble hunting parties of [[Maritime Dericania]] in the 17th century who were becoming rich after the establishment of the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire]]. This continued after the [[First Fratricide]] and the unification of [[Burgundie]]. | Falconry in [[Burgundie]] became popular among the noble hunting parties of [[Maritime Dericania]] in the 17th century who were becoming rich after the establishment of the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire]]. This continued after the [[First Fratricide]] and the unification of [[Burgundie]]. This resulted in the dissolution of the aristocracy and as such their grand hunting estates and coincided with the late industrial revolution in [[Burgundie]]. Falconry became a rare phenomenon and was typically conducted by newly minted men of means ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: ''gens des mejans''). During the [[First Great War]], [[1896]]-[[1902]], the use of {{wp|War pigeon}}s was prolific, as was counter-carrier pigeon efforts. The [[Yonderian volunteers to Burgundie in the Great Wars|Volonderres]] with falconry experience were highly sought after and they eventually became the precursor of [[Burgundie]]'s counterintelligence, electronic warfare/anti-drone efforts. They would be brought in with their falcons to hunt and intercept enemy pigeons to disrupt their communications. As a result, following the [[First Great War]], falconry enjoyed a resurgence in [[Burgundie]]. There are falconry clubs for all of the provinces in the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]]. It also enjoys a following, but not as dedicated in [[Torlen]], and [[Equatorial Ostiecia]]. Falconry is not regulated as a form of hunting, but as a sport it falls under the auspices of the League | ||
