Is Falconry for you?
This sport is not something to be taken lightly. There is a great deal of responsibility that comes with the undertaking of raptor husbandry. Our hunting companions are wild creatures tamed to allow our presence in the pursuit of their wild quarry. They are not pets and require much more attention to be properly taken care of.

Falconry is not an "overnight" achievement and there is no such thing as a part time falconer.
Do you have the time, money, access to land, ethics and passion for falconry?
Becoming a Class I falconer takes at least seven years and a true Master title is earned after a lifetime of procuring knowledge and experience; finishing your Apprenticeship (class III) will take two years once you are through the stages of passing the exam, obtaining a sponsor and constructing the proper facilities.
