    Could be a war brewing. As Putin is a known shortwinger.

    In looking at this press release from other sources it turns out that the thread title is incorrect. The gift was from Putin to Sheik Tamim.

    So sure a wild gyr - Russia has plenty. Plus a long history of providing gyrfalcons as gifts.

    Submitter here. Yes, after looking at the 5-second video several times, I realized that was in fact the case.

    Makes more sense than Nuking them and more environmentally friendly.
