Typical hazards & measures
Potential aggression between birds in close quarters
— House birds separately unless they are compatible. Train handlers to recognize early signs of aggression. Use perches that provide adequate spacing to prevent birds from reaching each other.
Birds getting caught on obstacles (trees, wires, structures)
— Conduct site inspections before flying birds in a new area. Use radio tracking devices on birds in case of unintended landings. Train birds to recall to the glove promptly if they become caught or disoriented.
Injury to birds from improper handling by staff
— Provide comprehensive training for all staff on proper bird handling techniques. Regularly assess and refresh training to maintain high standards.
Escape of birds due to faulty jesses or tracking equipment
— Inspect all jesses, leashes, and telemetry devices before each use. Maintain a strict routine of equipment checks and replacements. Train birds to recall to the glove or lure reliably even without equipment.
Public fear or anxiety leading to disruptive behavior
— Clearly communicate what to expect during displays. Offer opportunities for individuals to opt out or observe from a distance if they are uncomfortable.
