The Falconry treatment for the $230,000-and-up-ultra-luxury SUV adds everything the well-heeled falconer requires.

That's a happy falcon.

Sure, Ferraris and Lamborghinis are awesome. But can they host a trained bird of prey?

Sadly, no. The new Bentley Bentayga Falconry by Mulliner, however, can.

"Hand-crafted by Mulliner – Bentley’s personal commissioning division – the Bentayga Falconry features a bespoke installation in the rear which houses all the equipment required for an enjoyable falconry expedition," the carmaker said in a statement.

"At the heart of the Bentayga Falconry by Mulliner are two individual natural-cork-fabric-trimmed units: a master flight station and a refreshment case," Bentley said. "These sit on a movable tray that allows for easy access. Inside the master flight unit is a special Piano Black veneered drawer – with a Saker falcon crest – containing bespoke storage for all the equipment required for this unique sport."

According to Bentley's Geoff Dowding, who runs Mulliner: "

Where else would you want to let your falcon ride?

The Bentayga is Bentley's first SUV. It's haute luxury, tipping the price scales at $230,000 to start.

The Falconry setup has everything the accomplished falconer requires.

It all fits neatly and stylishly into the Bentayga's rear cargo area.

There's a falcon perch ...

... and a special compartment for all the necessary falconry gear.

This Saker inlay takes Mulliner 9 days to make and requires 430 separate pieces.

Time to let the falcon fly ...

... he always comes back.
