I hate to do this, but find out IC. Or, look through the helpfiles. It might be there.

Yup. There are.

Hawks and falcons, at least. I've never seen an eagle but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

No falconry skill exists, to my knowledge, though I'd be happy to be wrong.

There are all sort of birds in game.
they're not exactly hawks or falcons, but more like the Zalanthan versions of them.

Quote from: "Help Files"Silt Flyer                                                         (General)

  Large and leather-winged, these flying creatures swoop down out of the
thick clouds of silt and dust to attack their prey, usually up to about the
size of an inix. Occasionally hunting in small packs, they often use both
their claws and powerful beaks in the onslaught, climbing and swooping in
again and again with deadly patience. Where they naturally roost is
generally unknown.

There's a depiction of a hawk or a falcon or something similar in a piece of Armageddon artwork on the Original Submissions section. That said, I think it's safe to say that there are hawks or falcon-like creatures.

A lot of organizations make it their business to capture animals and, to an extent, they might even train them. Therefore, I think falconry could exist in-game (if anyone has ever bothered to come up with it).

I've had hawk objects, like barrakhan, songbirds, lizards, or any other pet object, they're good for atmosphere, but do little else.

There are also hawks (verrin) that you can quite easily find and hunt...
