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.
