Falcon Research

The Falcon is a bird of prey that are commonly mistaken for hawks however their wings are much longer and  pointed. There are more than 60 species of falcon and the largest is the Artic Gyrfalcon.The largest falcon in the world, the Gyrfalcon breeds in arctic and subarctic regions of the northern hemisphere. It preys mostly on large birds, pursuing them in breathtakingly fast and powerful flight Falcons are large birds with hooked bills, large fee armed with talons, keen eyed and swift in flight. They prey on small birds and small mammals from their nests which are usually on ledges of cliffs.

I want my male protagonist (the son) to be influenced by the falcon as hes is the leader who is trying to reunite with his family. The brother will be fast and agile with a good sense of direction (Like the falcon) however he will be very narrow minded and frequently gets himself into trouble by being to confident.
