Training birds of prey

or log in to view this course.

Training a bird of prey to fly free can be difficult.  It requires an understanding of the physical and psychological make of raptors and how to work with these to ensure the well-being of your bird of prey whilst at the same time achieving your goals.

The course builds upon your basic husbandry and management skills and covers 3 modules:

  • C6. Falconry furniture and equipment
  • C7. Species characteristics and types
  • C8. Initial training, manning and weight management

Each lesson has a test of your knowledge which you can use to demonstrate your improving knowledge and understanding.

Your Instructor should be able to answer any questions about the course.

If you have any suggestions for improvement of the course materials and tests, please contact us using the contact option from the top menu on any page.

Good luck,

Raptor Awards admin.
