Web-based resources:
There are very few web-based resources that we are prepared to recommend. Sadly, because Facebook is a free-for-all where anyone can post videos, we do find bad or even dangerous advice being given out by self-styled experts.
It is impossible for us to review all web-based and social media posts.
We can point you to these resources that we are prepared to endorse. If we find others we will add them to the list.
The Modern Apprentice -web site
This is a web site aimed firmly at the USA, where access to birds of prey and falconry education is handled differently to the UK. However, the site gives extensive and reliable advice.
