The falconer's knot is a knot used in falconry to tether a bird of prey to a perch. Some sources show this knot to be identical to the halter hitch , [ 1 ] but with a specific method of single-handed tying needed when the other hand is occupied holding the bird.
The halter hitch is topologically the same knot as the Falconer's knot, i. e. a slipped overhand knot around the main part. [3] The falconer has to tie the same knot one handed, throwing the end around the anchor object (the perch), gripping it with a scissoring fingers act, pulling the bight from opposite side of the main part using the back of the thumb.
Various pieces of falconry equipment (Hunt Museum, Ireland) — includes rings, call, bell and hood from the 17th–20th centuriesThe bird wears: A hood, which is used in the manning process (acclimatising to humans and the human world) and to keep the raptor in a calm state, both in the early part of its training and throughout its falconry career.
The discovery of all possible ways to tie a tie depends on a mathematical formulation of the act of tying a tie. In their papers (which are technical) and book (which is for a lay audience, apart from an appendix), the authors show that necktie knots are equivalent to persistent random walks on a triangular lattice, with some constraints on how the walks begin and end.

A jess (plural "jesses") is a thin strap, traditionally made from leather, used to tether a hawk, falcon, or owl in falconry. [1] Jesses allow a falconer to keep control of a bird while it is on the glove or in training, and allow a bird to be secured on a perch outside its aviary. [1]
A creance is a long, light cord used to tether a flying hawk or falcon during training in falconry. [1] It is used when the bird is young, or when the bird has been taken out of the aviary for a moult or other reasons. The creance itself is thin, designed to be of as little inconvenience to the bird as possible.
