What is mews for falconry?

Mews are facilities especially designed and constructed for the housing and care of falcons and other birds of prey in falconry. Typically, they consist of a set of large and airy chambers with a central courtyard or open space, as well as an attached section for the storage of equipment, supplies, and food. The walls, ceilings, and floors are often lined with wood or other materials that are easy to clean and disinfect. Mews are usually located in quiet and secluded areas, away from the noise and distractions of human activity, and have good ventilation, lighting, and temperature control to ensure the comfort and health of the birds. In falconry tradition, the term "mews" also refers to the period of time when the birds are kept in confinement and undergo a process of conditioning and training prior to being flown in the field.
