hi mate ,read jaspers introduction to falconry at the top of the falconry section then decide what quarry you have to hunt and what terrain to hunt over. most people start out with a harris hawk but not all do .you can read books but then again you can read too much , but if you know anybody who has already got hawks or falcons then see if you can go out with them to see what its all about, but also ask them to show the husbandry side to, because its not just about getting a bird and taking it out hunting. i hope this is of help to you but im very sure there will be some one else with better advice and more experience than me mate, good look let us know how you get on .

Falconry is one of life's greatest pleasures. But bro, I cannot stress enough the importance of finding other Falconers for help/advice when starting out. Trust me. So stalk some local guys and enjoy!
