Falcon portrait with leather hat and spotted feathers indoors

Peregrine falcon (*Falco peregrinus*) indoors, wearing a traditional leather hood. The bird stands upright, showcasing its distinctive black markings and creamy underparts with spots. The hood, often used for calming, fits snugly over the head, leaving the beak exposed. Black leather straps hang from the hood. The feathers are sleek with a pattern of dark spots, typical of falcons. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the falcon's detailed plumage and equipment.
