Animal Handling has a "sliding scale" of specialization, the more intelligent the animal, the narrower the spec.
Falconry should specialize by Bird species (whether you use Hawks, Eagles, some other exotic predatory avian), but at current the skill only covers using Hawks as hunting birds.
Packing - No specialty.
Riding - By mount type, ie: Equines, Camels, Dragons, etc.
Teamster - By mount type, ie: Equines, Camels, Dragons, etc.
Veterinary - Optional specialization.



However.... one is exceedingly unlikely to ever get use out of all 6 skills, so on that basis alone I'm pretty much okay with the [Animal] Friend Perk.
