Is it legal to own a falcon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

no you can not because falcons are wild

* Correction - Yes you can. However, it is a protected species and there are very strict regulations for ownership. You can also hunt with a falcon, but again, strict regulations. State and Federal regulations cover these. In New Jersey, you are required to prove that you have successfully owned and worked with a red-tailed hawk for two years before you are allowed to own a falcon. You should check your local State laws but expect to have to prove expertise prior to owning a falcon.

How fast can a pergine falcon go?

Asked by Wiki User

This depends on what its doing. Just crusing around or in a chase. I have paced a Merlin at 50 mph and it looked like it wasing giving any effort. I have also flown a Merlin in falconry and seen it outfly a pigeon in a dead run. I would guess anywhere from 50 to 60 mph's in a strait run and faster in a stoop.

Why is the peregrine falcon important?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The peregrine falcon is an essential part of our ecosystem. Without them, we'd have overpopulation of other species. What you're asking right now is like asking "Why save humans?" Because we want to live. We don't contribute to the environment like the Peregrine Falcon does. We just kill everything. Think about it.

What eats prairie falcon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Prairie falcons tend to eat small birds, as they are easy picking when they are low flying. They also eat small mammals - more so in summer when these small mammals are most active. If you want more information, you'll need to find out where the specific Prairie Falcon you want to study lives, then look for the small animals that are native to that area.

How old do you have to be to get a falconers license?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To become a falconer you have to go through many steps. First you have to become a apprentice, which you can become at 16. Apprenticeship takes at least 2 years of constant dedication to your bird. Since falconry is a serious commitment--some consider it a lifestyle--training almost invariably takes 7 years. So, at the very least, you can be an independent falconer at age 25.

So Monna went to the barn were Federigo was working and had dinner with him. He had nothing to serve so he killed his falcon because it was the only thing worthy enough to give Monna. When Monna found out she was very upset yet happy that he would do that for her. Once Monnas son died, her brothers told her she should remarry. Monna remairred...She married Federigo.
