Rangle

For other spellings, see Wrangle (disambiguation), Wrangel (disambiguation), or Rangel (disambiguation).

In falconry, rangle is a term used for small stones which are fed to hawks to aid in digestion.[1] These stones, which are generally slightly larger than peas, are used less often now than they were historically.[2]
