    These are both good ideas and I will chew on it. I’d never heard of falconry certification before - I just assumed those who did it just knew how to train them (kind of like training dogs lol). Thanks!

      What I know is that there is an apprenticeship process, where they see if you have what it takes to care for a raptor. They are delicate little apex predators and need lots of love. They are also borderline endangered because of pesticides making their eggs weak and prone to cracking. I’m sure you’ve heard of the falcon sex hat? It was invented to solve the problem of failed eggs by making many more of them than normal.
