How are the birds fed? Do they ever catch their own food? How young do the birds start with training? What kinds of illnesses do/can the birds get? Which bird, in your opinion, is the prettiest? :D

How did you get into falconry? What are the requirements? Is it only in certain countries/cities/states/etc? Are there specific birds assigned to you? Sorry if im asking a lot, im just really curious! :>

Hello! First off, I just wanted to say that I do not mind the questions, and am in fact super excited about them. Thank you so much for sending this in!

As a bit of a disclaimer — I’m not a professional falconer by any means, and am only an apprentice of sorts? I’m certainly no expert.

I’m not really sure how I got into falconry. Being a huge fan of raptors, it had been an interest of mine for so long, and I was always hoping for the opportunity. I guess I kept contacting local falconry centres and really lucked out? I found one that was willing to teach me, and I was allowed to continuously return to help out around the place.

In the UAE specifically— because this is where I live —there are surprisingly fewer laws on falconry than you’d expect. I believe you only need a license to hunt? Otherwise, anyone could own and fly a bird. (At least, this is what I have been told in passing.)

There aren’t any specific birds assigned to me, but there are birds I interact with more often than others, just by pure chance. One of these birds was a peregrine called Hamdan, who I was taught with. Unfortunately, he has long since transferred to another falconry centre.

There are birds off-limits to me, though, just because I’m not fully experienced. One of these birds is Optimus, a Steppe Eagle, who’s famed for his food aggression (it does not help that he is the biggest bird flown at the centre).
