Interesting.I thought Auqab meant Falcon or is it a Hawk?
Looking up online found this.
They are kinds of predatory birds. They all look very similar due to this many get confused.
Auqab (Eagle) are the largest among these. Bald eagle can be best example, but in Pakistan Golden eagle are common.
Baaz (golden eagle)
Cheel (kites) are very common in Punjab and sindh. They are smaller than Auqab.
Cheel(black kite)
Baaz (hawk) fall third in the category of size. Most of Arab shaikhs use baz for hunting.
Shaheens (falcons) are the smallest in the group.
Does shaheen mean...Falcon or Eagle?
Shaheen = Falcon
Uqab = Eagle
Hawk = Shikra
Shaheen = Eagle
Uqab = Hawk
Falcon = Shikra
Don't forget baazHawk = Cheel , Shikra belongs to this family
Falcon ( Family of birds) = Shaheen belongs to this family Normally smaller than Eagles
Eagles = Bald Eagle, Golden Eagle etc ( Bigger In size)
Uqab is a terminology used to refer to eagles and falcons both.
