Baraka, a female Aplomado Falcon, eats quail meat as she perches on the hand of her trainer Raul Palacios during a demonstration of his training techniques at the bay of Asuncion, Paraguay, on January 11, 2014. Baraka and other falcons trained by Palacios, a veterinarian, are being used to chase migratory birds away from airplanes that service the capital's airport, in an effort to reduce the risk of birds getting sucked into plane turbines which can cause aviation accidents.
