Literature | Hobby A favourite pursuit. The hobby is a falcon trained to fly at pigeons and partridges. As hawks were universal pets in the days of falconry, and hawking the favourite pursuit, it is quite evident how the word hobby got its present meaning. Hobby-horse is a corruption of Hobby-hause (hawk-tossing), or throwing off the hawk from the wrist. Hobby is applied to a little pet riding-horse by the same natural transposition as a mews for hawks is now a place for horses. (French, hobereau, a hawk, a hobby.). Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

The Eurasian Hobby or Hobby, (Falco subbuteo) is a medium-sized falcon.
Eurasian Hobby juvenile (left) and adult Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Falconiformes Family: falconidae Genus: Falco Species: subbuteo Binomial name Falco subbuteo This species breeds across Europe and Asia. It is a long-distance migrant, wintering in Africa.
It is a bird of open country such as farmland, taiga and savannah.
It is an elegant bird of prey, appearing sickle-like in flight with its long pointed wings and square tail. It will take large insects, such as dragonflies, which are transferred from talons to beak and eaten in flight. It also captures small birds in flight.
Its speed and aerobatic skills enable it to take swallows and even swifts on the wing, and Barn Swallows or House Martins have a characteristic "hobby" alarm call.
Adults are slate-grey above, and streaked below, with a white throat. Close views enable the red "trousers" and vent to be seen. Sexes are similar, but juveniles are generally much browner.
Hobbies nest in old nests of crows and other birds, laying 2-4 eggs.
The species has been honored in the naming of a group of board games, Subbuteo, after it.

The term hobby has several interconnected meanings:
The most common use of hobby in modern English is the first listed above: a spare-time pursuit. The origin of this usage is uncertain, but it almost certainly derives from one or both of the other two.
- A spare-time pursuit practiced for interest and enjoyment. (See below.)
- A small, fast flying falcon with long, narrow wings. See hobby (bird).
- A type of small horse or pony.
In the Middle Ages, falconry was a very popular pastime (what today might be called a hobby), and of all the different birds used for it, the Hobby was perhaps the most popular. It is said that the modern use of hobby to indicate a pastime followed from this.
An alternative explanation is that the usage grew from another recreational animal called hobby: which was a type of small ambling or pacing horse. A hobby-horse was a wooden or wickerwork toy made to be ridden just like the real hobby. From this came the expression "to ride one's hobby-horse", meaning "to follow a favourite pastime", and in turn, hobby in the modern sense of recreation.
Hobbies are practiced for interest and enjoyment, rather than as paid work. Examples include collecting, making, tinkering, sports and adult education. Engaging in a hobby can lead to acquiring substantial skill, knowledge, and experience. However, personal fulfillment is the aim.
What are hobbies for some people are professions for others: a computer game tester may enjoy cooking as a hobby, while a professional chef might enjoy playing (and helping to debug) computer games. Generally speaking, the person who does something for fun, not remuneration, is called an amateur (or hobbyist), as distinct from a professional.
An important determinant of what is considered a hobby, as distinct from a profession (beyond the lack of remuneration), is probably how easy it is to make a living at the activity. Almost no one can make a living at stamp collecting, but many people find it enjoyable; so it is commonly regarded as a hobby.
Astronomy is an interesting hobby in that the amateurs often make meaningful contributions to the professionals. It is not entirely uncommon for an amateur astronomer to be the first to discover a celestial body or event.
In the UK, the pejorative noun anorak is often applied to people who obsessively pursue a particular hobby. It probably originated as a consequence of the clothing invariably worn by train spotters and followers of touring car motor racing.
While some hobbies strike most people as trivial and boring, the hobbyist has found something compelling and entertaining about them (see geek). Much early scientific research was, in effect, a hobby of the wealthy; in our own time, Linux began as a student's hobby.
Pursuit of a hobby often has calming or helpful therapeutic side effects. In some cases, however, (for example in collecting) the line between a hobby and an obsession can become blurred. There is more than one documented case of violence over things as simple as coin collecting.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A hobby is a fairly small, very swift falcon with long, narrow wings. There are four birds called hobby, and three others which, although termed falcon, are very similar. All specialise in catching prey on the wing.
Hobbies are superb aerialists. Although they will take prey on the ground if the opportunity presents itself, most prey is caught in the wing: insects by hawking, birds are flown down: even swifts and swallows cannot outpace or outmanouver a hobby.
- The Eurasian Hobby (Falco subbuteo), also known as the Northern Hobby.
- The African Hobby (Falco cuvierii).
- The Oriental Hobby (Falco severus).
- The Australian Hobby or Little Falcon (Falco longipennis) is uncommon but widespread in Australia. During the southern winter, some birds migrate to the north of the continent or to the islands of South-east Asia.
- The New Zealand Falcon or New Zealand Hobby (Falco novaeseelandiae).
- The Sooty Falcon (Falco concolor) of the North African desert.
- Eleonora’s Falcon (Falco eleonorae) occupies the Mediterranean area during the northern summer, and migrates south to Madagascar for the southern summer.

Aircraft modeling is a hobby that has been popular since the 1930s.
Static model aircraft, those not intended to fly, can be built using plastic detail parts, photo etched brass and wire. Some static models are scaled for use in wind tunnels, where the data acquired is used to aid the design of full scale aircraft.
Models can be bought already built and painted as well as models that require construction, painting and glueing, or snap fit models, most of which come with decals or paint already applied.
The collector can choose from plastic and diecast military and commercial helicopters and planes, and, for the less skilled collector, snap together military and commercial planes. Snap models are becoming increasingly popular because of their ease of construction.
Plastic model plane manufacturers include Revell who are generally recognized as the most popular manufacturer of plane models in the US, Airfix, whose name is synonymous with the hobby in the UK, Hobbycraft, DML, Frog, Matchbox, Minicraft and Hasegawa, Tamiya and Testors. The peak of the plastic modelling hobby was most probably the 1970s, and while it is still very popular today, at that time the hobby could support a considerable number of competing, large companies. During the 1980s, many of them were forced to radically downsize, restructure, merge or go out of business. Some attribute this to the rise of computer games over the more traditional type of hobbies. Another consideration is that kits have generally required considerable skill and patience to achieve good results, and that ready-made or more quickly constructed models have taken over the market for those simply looking for a toy to play with.
Plastic scale model aircraft kits usually come in standard scales such 1/144, 1/72, 1/48 (also known as quarter-scale), and 1/32. This scale indicates the relationship between the size of the model and the size of the actual aircraft. For example, in 1/48 scale, 1 inch on the model represents 48 inches on the actual aircraft.
Die-Cast model plane manufacturers include Dyna-Flytes (recognized as the first manufacturer of that type of model), Schabak, Gemini Jets and Herpa Wings.
Snap Fit plastic plane models include Wooster, Long Prosper(In South Africa, Long & Prosper), and Flight Miniatures of Cottonwood, Arizona.
Vacuum formed kits are generally for the more skilled collector and are manufactured by small companies such as Koster Aero Enterprises.
Another category are scale plane models made from heavy paper or card stock. Several card model kit companies exist, smaller even than Vacuum formed manufacturers, among them being ModelArt, Halinski, Modelik, JSC and FlyModel. Many card models are also distributed through the internet, and several are offered this way free of charge. Card model kits are also not limited to just airplanes. Such kits are available for all types of vehicles, buildings, computers, firearms, even animals.
Most of the world's airlines allow their fleet aircraft to be modelled as a form of publicity,, some of the most notable being Delta Airlines, Air France, British Airways, Aerolineas Argentinas, Avianca, Aeromexico, Fed Ex, Polar Air Cargo, Air New Zealand, Qantas, China Airlines, South African Airways, Finnair, and Royal Jordanian.
Most flying model aircraft can be placed in one of three main groups:
See also: Model airports
- Free flight model aircraft are designed and built in a manner that allows the craft to fly without any attachment to the ground.
This type of model pre-dates the efforts of the Wright Brothers. [1]- Control line model aircraft are designed and built to be flown using cables (usually two) leading from the wing to the pilot.
- Radio control model aircraft have a transmitter operated by the pilot on the ground, sending signals to a receiver in the craft.
In the last 5 years Almost-Ready-To-Fly (ARF) radio control aircraft have allowed new people to enter the hobby without the need to first build an aircraft from kit form.
