Organized balloon-kite sky trials provide opportunities to have falcons demonstrate their ability as well as speed for flying up and hunting the lure at heights between 200-300 meters.  On windy days the lure hangs on a kite.  Without wind a balloon must be used to suspend the lure. This type of training is useful for waiting on falconry where falcons typically soar-hunt from a level between 100-300 meters.
