About the Author
Faris Al-Timimi, a veterinary surgeon, started working with falcons at the Doha Veterinary Practice from 1981 to 2012, which was the first veterinary clinic dealing mainly with falcons in the entire Gulf region. He also became involved in the veterinary care and management of rare African and Asian Antelopes kept in a private collection of wild animals in Al-Wabra, Qatar from 1983 to 2000. In 2002, he moved to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to set up The Eastern Region Falcon Clinic in Al-Khobar, by the invitation and sponsorship of H.R.H. Prince Turki bin Muhammad bin Fahd Al-Saud. He published his first book on falcons "Falcons and Falconry in Qatar" in 1987, and the second book, in Arabic, followed in 1992.
