What is a "hobby"?

A hobby is a small falcon with a sleek and agile build. It is known for its exceptional aerial prowess and remarkable hunting skills. With a wingspan ranging from around 60 to 80 centimeters, the hobby exhibits remarkable speed and maneuverability in flight. Its slender body, pointed wings, and long, narrow tail contribute to its exceptional aerial acrobatics. The hobby has a varied diet that mainly consists of small birds, insects, and occasionally bats. It is often seen darting through the sky, skillfully pursuing its prey with swift and precise movements. Its name "hobby" stems from the term "hawbby," meaning a small falcon used in falconry, reflecting its historical association with this noble art.
