H Is for Hawk - Helen McDonald. link
"H is for Hawk tells Macdonald's story of the year she spent training a goshawk in the wake of her father's death. Her father, Alisdair Macdonald, was a respected photojournalist who died suddenly of a heart attack in 2007. Having been a falconer for many years, she purchased a young goshawk to help her through the grieving process." -wikipedia
I read somewhere that the bird is valued at around $250,000. I assume that's training and such included. If they go by that, someone is in serious trouble.
Off topic, but check out the book H Is For Hawk by Heather MacDonald. It's about training a hawk for falconry, and the author's own travails at the time. Great read.
