Can anyone help

[Feilder 0]

I am thinking of getting in to falconry. Could someone give me some information on it. I need to know if you a licence to own a bird, or what you need to own one? I have found a coarse to get me started on handling, flying, hunting and health problems for about £290.Could anyone help?

You dont need a license, tho certain birds need to be register and have correct paperwork. Probably best if you join a falconry forum.

Get yourself some books for christmas and have a good read through them, they will give you a good insight plus you can use them for reference when you do get a bird. Your doing the right thing by asking questions, jumping in and buying one before you know about them would be a big mistake.

As trappa said get into some books, ideally find someone to tag along with, you'll learn a lot this way, if i was you i'd do as much research as poss, and if you can, get out with someone for the rest of this season. THIS is only what i think others may say different, but personally i would leave getting a bird this season as its getting late, i'd get out with someone for the rest of this season this will give you a good idea what your doing, then get your bird ready for the start of next season. Unless your flying through the moult. Always remember that you need a lot of time, especially with certain birds, Good luck.
