I'd love too. See I'm an apprentice falconer. Which means for two years I have to learn under the guidance of a sponsor who is a more experienced falconer. My sponsor is the man in all the photos, he's been a falconer for over 30 years so he is now a master falconer which means he can basically own any bird he wants. See once I pass my two years studying as an apprentice I'll be a general falconer which means I can have most raptors, then if I keep up a few years of general falconry I can take another test to become a master falconer and work with any bird almost. But right now I'm just studying to past this up coming test so I can get my first bird, it'll be a female red tailed hawk. right now all I can do is help my sponsor on his hunts I can hold the bird he isn't using, feed them and the next thing I'm learning is how to gear the birds up for a hunt. But yeah thats some of the basic beginning information in falconry. If you have any more questions I don't mind answering them. In fact I love answering them, lol I can talk forever about these birds.
very very cool
Love it
I would love to do that....
just don't want them around my chickens
lol

Lol thats why I'm keeping my bird up and far on the other end of the farm, I've been told you can train them to not hurt your chickens but I never want to risk it.
