1. |
First and foremost, I follow the laws regarding falconry. |
2. |
I do not keep raptors unless I fly them free during the hunting season. |
3. |
If I no longer intend to fly a bird, I will transfer my bird to another code-following falconer; or I will release the bird only if it is actively proving itself in the field. |
4. |
I do not draw undue attention to my birds. |
5. |
I keep my birds, mews, and equipment in top condition. |
6. |
I do everything in my power to recover a lost bird, and to bring a sick raptor back to health. |
7. |
If I am training an "apprentice" falconer, I will only advance them to "general" falconer if they follow the code. |
