Hunting with an eagle
Hunting was one of the primary occupation of the Kyrgyz. Accounts found in legends and epics tell that whole communities and ails made their living just from hunting. Kyrgyz hunters used hunting birds:eagles, falcons and hawks, and their falconry skills were almost perfect. These birds were treated not only as hunting birds, but it was a totem and a cult object. Good eagles could hunt both wolves and deer.
Handicrafts and Souvenirs

Kyrgyz daily life was occuped by home crafts, particularly those connected with processing of livestock breeding products (wool, leather, rawhide,bone, gutstring, horn, hoof, etc.). The variety of colors, ornaments and patterns amaze us.
