haggard

The term "haggard" has two primary meanings. As an adjective, it describes someone suffering extreme weight loss due to hunger or disease, appearing gaunt or emaciated. As a noun, it refers to an adult hawk caught in the wild, specifically one trained for falconry.12

Falcons are diurnal birds of prey known for their swift, powerful flight and predatory skills. They are characterized by long, pointed wings, a hooked beak with a notch, and strong feet with curved talons. Falcons are found worldwide and vary in size, with females often being larger than males. They typically hunt birds, but also prey on bats, fish, insects, and small mammals. An adult falcon generally consumes about 10 percent of its body weight daily.34567
