The sport or practice of hunting with hawks, also called falconry.
From 'hawk' + '-ery' (a suffix meaning practice or place of). This is an older English term for what became more commonly known as 'falconry' in the medieval period. The term was especially common in Scottish English.
Medieval kings and nobles were absolutely obsessed with hawkery—it was so important that the type of hawk you could own was legally determined by your social rank, with only royalty permitted the most prized peregrine falcons.
