A day in the life of Drago Vittorio MORNING 7:00a.m Draco catches a duck every morning and brings it to our house. I take the dead duck from Draco and cut out it's liver then put it on a metal board over a fire and when it's done cooking, me and Draco eat it. 8:00a.m I put out the leftovers of duck to attract small rodents so we can catch them to eat. 9:00a.m We go to the store and sell the animals that me my family and Draco don't like, so we make money. 10:00a.m After that me and my kids go fishing for an hour because Draco's favorite food is fish. 11:00a.m Today is special because Sir Thomas the Creative's falcon Fredrick brang me a note that said send over some Italian food. So I sent my private supply boat with Italian food but it will take an hour to make the food and send the boat. When Sir Thomas the Creative get's the boat he sends me food from Englind on my boat. This might take weeks. AFTERNOON 12:00p.m For lunch, me and my family ate fish, pidgeon and black bread. After, we go pick vegetables from the garden in the court yard to eat for dinner.we don't eat good very good food because I am a little higher then a regular peasant. 1:00p.m Then I go to church with my wife and kids to pray for my mother who is ill. While I was praying I saw one of my neighbors and we started talking about the local politics. 2:00p.m Me, Draco and the kids go to the store and buy some blankets. We will also get a treat for Draco. 3.00 I teach my son how to train and care for a falcon. Then I give my son his own hawk to hunt with. 4:00 I sailed to the mainland to sell animal pelts to make money. NIGHT 5:00 I sailed back to Venice and bought a hen for my chicken coop so it will lay eggs and make more chikens. 6:00 Me and my family eat dinner, we ate vegetables,chicken and the food from England. 7.00 I tuck my kids in, I put Draco on his perch stick, then I get in bed with my wife and go to sleep.

I am a falconer

An advantage of being a falconer is that you get your own falcon and it catches food for you. Another is a falconer can also sell animals or it's pelt for money. Also a regular falconer does not have to go to war. Falconers get lot's of free time unless you work for a king.

The amount of food Draco obtains is usually just enough to feed my family. Rarely is there leftovers to sell. It takes a long while to learn the art of falconry. It takes a lot of patience, time and dedication. If a war starts and the bad knights get in the castle a falconer has nothing to defend himself with.

I wish I were a knight

A good thing about kights is that they get paid well. They also get trained to use cool weapons.Another is that knights are considered in the higher class in society.You can even get shelter and food from the lords.A knight can also have a horse to get around quicker.

A disadvantage is that a knight can be killed while battling. Knights couled be at war for a long period of time. A knight has to follow the code of chivalry.Another disadvantage is that you have to wear heavy armor all day.

Modern Day Knight

Drago Vittorio is a strong and intelligent man. There is a lot of physical labor so he stays fit. Since he has to keep up with a falcon he is very fast and agile. A falconer needs to possess intelligence and patience to train and comand falcons. All these qualities make Drago Vittorio a great falconer. Jack Hanna is an animal trainer who educates people about animals and there habitats. On his TV show he takes an animal and explains where it lives ,what it eats and anything special about it. He knows what animals are venomous,deadly or harmless. Drago and Jack both know alot about animals,they both care about animals and they trian the animals. Drago Vittorio actually has an animal that catches food for him and his family. Drago's falcon provides his family with what they need. The only thing that Jack provides is entertainment. Drago has much more knowledgable about the art of falconry.
