No. Falconry or bird-of-prey handling is much more complex than you suggest. Handlers have to have many hours of apprenticeship and training to hunt with the bird. The keyword is with, they are not really in charge. As for spanking or anything physical, that would be egregious and so dangerous. They can build trust with the bird by giving it bits of food and such, and training much with it, but they absolutely cannot, say, just give a falcon a spank on its rear end when things go awry.

Falconers typically keep their birds of prey in spacious, well-ventilated mews or aviaries that provide a safe and comfortable environment. These enclosures are designed to protect the birds from harsh weather and predators while allowing them enough room to stretch their wings and exercise. Within these spaces, falconers provide perches, food, and water, ensuring the birds' physical and mental well-being. Regular interaction and training also occur outside the mews, promoting a strong bond between the falconer and the bird.
