FAQ

Do falconers have to release their birds?

Most do. Many falconers will trap a passage bird in the fall, hunt with her through the spring, and then release this healthy bird who is in peak physical condition back into the wild. Other falconers will keep a bird for many years and eventually release it back to the wild breeding populations.

Where can I have a hawk land on my arm?

Sky Falconry, Southern California’s premiere federally licensed falconry school, invites you to experience flying trained birds of prey to your glove and learn about one of the world’s oldest hunting traditions in the picturesque settings of San Diego and the mountains of Alpine.

How many falconers are there in the world?

Purchasing or capturing a bird requires a permit, and fees, veterinary bills, food (only fresh raw meat), housing, equipment, travel solutions, all come at great financial cost. For these and many other reasons, there are only around 10,000 licensed falconers in the world.

How do falconers hunt?

Short-wings can be flown in both open and wooded country against a variety of bird and small mammal prey. Most hunting with large falcons requires large, open tracts where the falcon is afforded opportunity to strike or seize its quarry before it reaches cover.
