Feathered Friend Falcon
Falcons have been both a friend of man and an enemy. It is a mighty glorious bird of prey that eats many things with its sharp talons. For the Olympic sailors they received help from a falcon because normally in the morning there are a bunch of seagulls outside. Seagulls tend to be noisy birds that keep squawking so it is hard for the olympic sailors to sleep. The sailors need a lot of sleep for the competition to be focus and because the sailors must be awake and concentrated in order for better performance. The sailors needed help to get these pests away so then came 'Felix the Falcon.' He helped keep the seagulls away and seagulls usually make a lot of mess because of their 'droppings' so that was also avoided.The falcon was even able to board and be part of the Skandia Team GBR. So thanks to the Felix the Falcon for helping the Olympic sailors!
