Saudi Arabia Prince buys first class tickets for his 80 hawks. See them chilling on the plane waiting for take off

The Saudi Prince has gotten worldwide attention after a photo  of 80 hawks on plane which first appeared on reddit started circulating online.

According to Business Insider however, there is great speculation that the birds could have been falcons which are a national symbol for the UAE. Now if you must know, falcons can get their own passports from the UAE to travel. The passport allows a falcon to travel to Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Morocco, and Syria Business Insider further wrote.

And they must have their own seat and must be placed on a cloth to avoid accidents.

An Etihad spokesperson told Business Insider that based on the cabin and flight crew uniforms, it’s unlikely the Reddit photo was taken on one of the airline’s planes.
