Birds of prey used at weddings
Rings clipped to bird's legs
FORGET something borrowed and something blue, the latest accessory for the modern Gold Coast bride is a fearsome bird of prey.
A wedge-tailed eagle has been trained to swoop down the aisle over the heads of astonished guests to deliver the wedding rings to the best man or groom, the Gold Coast Bulletin reports.
"Ten years after you've been to a wedding you won't remember the food that you ate, but you will remember if an eagle flew in," said Zanna Carey from Broadwings Events.
The eagle can perform its fly-in trick at weddings in churches, on beaches or in garden locations.
At the right moment during the ceremony, the best man or groom raises a gloved hand with a scrap of meat in it and the handler releases the bird.
The rings are clipped to leather straps tied to the bird's legs
