Preview of Falconry

What this covers.

This template focuses on typical risks and controls for falconry in animal care settings. You can add, remove or adapt items to match your context.

Potential benefits

  • Provides non-invasive pest control methods using trained birds.
  • Develops patience, discipline, and respect for nature through training.
  • Encourages outdoor activity and connection with birds of prey.
  • Enhances understanding of predator-prey relationships and raptor biology.
  • Supports wildlife conservation efforts by promoting responsible bird care.

Typical hazards & measures

  • Risk of birds contracting parasites from prey or environment — Conduct regular health checks and deworming treatments. Avoid feeding wild-caught prey and instead use high-quality, controlled food sources. Clean enclosures and transport boxes regularly.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Unintentional injury to birds during transport — Use specialized transport crates with proper ventilation and soft padding. Avoid stacking crates to prevent toppling. Secure birds with travel jesses and ensure perches are non-slip. Monitor for stress signs during travel.
  • Birds contracting diseases from wild animals — Quarantine new birds before introducing them to the main population. Avoid flying birds in areas known to be inhabited by wild raptors or other potential disease carriers.
