* '''722–705 BC''' – An [[Assyria]]n [[bas-relief]] found in the ruins at [[Khorsabad]] during the excavation of the palace of [[Sargon II]] (Sargon II) has been claimed to depict falconry.

* '''Fourth century BC''' – [[Aristotle]] wrote that in [[Ancient thrace|Thrace]], the boys who want to hunt small birds, take hawks with them. When they call the hawks addressing them by name, the hawks swoop down on the birds. The small birds fly in terror into the bushes, where the boys catch them by knocking them down with sticks; in case the hawks themselves catch any of the birds, they throw them down to the hunters. When the hunting finishes, the hunters give a portion of all that is caught to the hawks.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://topostext.org/work/246#27.118 |title=Aristotelian Corpus, On Marvelous Things Heard, 27.118 |date=250 |access-date=2020-04-04 |archive-date=2020-10-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201029223159/https://topostext.org/work/246#27.118 |url-status=live }}</ref> He also wrote that in the city of Cedripolis (Κεδρίπολις), men and hawks jointly hunt small birds.
