Falconry is the sport of hunting with a trained bird of prey.
Falcon. That's why it is called "falconry"
Pet is probably the wrong word but in Europe it is entirely possible and certain species can be kept in the US for falconry/hawking.
There is nothing wrong with falconry. Falconry is simply the sport of flying (and keeping) birds of prey. Most birds in falconry have been taken from homes. Falconers do not capture birds to train for two reasons: a) The bird will be used to the wild and catching it's own food. b) The person catching it will proberly be killed :) Hope this helps
I can't state the "best", it depends on your quarry. Try Peregrine Falcons or Goshawks.

Falconry is legal in Forida. You must have a joint State and Federal permit in order to practice the sport. It also includes a 2 year apprenticeship. You do not own the bird but are a steward of the bird. Inspection if your equipment and housing is also required. Falconry is the most regulated field sport in the United Staes.
The neighbors might not like your falcon eating the local birds, and you will need a Federal and State permit to keep a bird of prey, but otherwise not. Since you will have to learn from other falconers anyway, you could consider boarding your bird.
No. I am your prey and i'm going to hunt you down
