Unhappy Falcons

It sounds to me like quite a good way to dispose of unwanted pretzel snacks/napkins/other passengers fingers should they get in the way mid flight.

If you get sat next to one, it is no fun at all. I asked to be moved, but the flight was full. In the end a fellow Arab sat next to the falcon. I have never travelled with Gulf Air since and although I wrote 3 letters of complaint all I received was a Gulf Air diary and a phonecall from a Filipina Gulf Air employee who said suggested that if I encountered a falcon next to me again that I wear swimming goggles so to avoid my eyes being pecked out.
