Kenward Anatrack Ltd and IUCN-SSC European Sustainable Use Specialist Group, Wareham, UK Introduction Falconry is a type of recreational hunting. This chapter considers the conser- vation issues surrounding this practice. It provides a historical background and then discusses how falconry’s role in conservation has developed and how it could grow in the future. Falconry, as defi ned by the International Association for Falconry and Conservation of Birds of Prey (IAF), is the hunting art of taking quarry in its natural state and habitat with birds of prey. Species commonly used for hunt- ing include eagles of the genera Aquila and Hieraëtus, other ‘broad-winged’ members of the Accipitrinae including the more aggressive buzzards and their relatives, ‘short-winged’ hawks of the genus Accipiter and ‘long-winged’ falcons (genus Falco). Falconers occur in more than 60 countries worldwide, mostly in North America, the Middle East, Europe, Central Asia, Japan and southern Africa. Of these countries, 48 are members of the IAF.

A combination models have inspired robotic algorithms for swarming, following of novel image analysis methods and numerical simulations of and collision avoidance (Mischiati and Krishnaprasad, 2012; mathematical pursuit models was used to determine the goshawk’s Srinivasan, 2011), and the goshawk is of special interest in this pursuit strategy. The goshawk flew to intercept targets by fixing the context because it can maneuver at high speed through cluttered prey at a constant visual angle, using classical pursuit for stationary environments (Sebesta and Baillieul, 2012). In this study, headcam prey, lures or perches, and usually using constant absolute target video was interpreted using new optical flow-based image analysis direction (CATD) for moving prey. Visual fixation was better methods that enabled us to determine which specific visual guidance maintained along the horizontal than vertical direction.

  • Georgia Falconry Laws and Regulations
    Georgia Falconry Laws and Regulations Effective January 1, 2014, Georgia adopted the revised federal falconry regulations that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published in the Federal Register on October 8, 2008 ( 74 FR 64638), therefore, you are no longer required to obtain a federal falconry permit to conduct falconry. O.C.G.A. § 27-2-17 (2013) § 27-2-17. Falconry permits; duties, permitted acts, and prohibitions pertaining to permit holders (a) It shall be unlawful for any person to trap, take, transport, or possess raptors for falconry purposes unless such person possesses, in addition to any licenses and permits otherwise required by this title, a valid falconry permit as provided in Code Section27-2-23.

  • Parent's Falconry Factsheet
    PARENT FACTSHEET FOR FALCONERS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 So your child wants to become a falconer, what do you need to know? If you haven’t already read the “Is Falconry Right for Me” factsheet, please do so now. Why should I allow my child to become a falconer? Falconry is more than a sport; it is a way of hunting that dates back over 4,000 years. It is one of the few activities that allow a human trainer to form a hunting bond with a wild animal allowing them to participate in the capture of prey. It is a tremendous learning experience about nature, raptors, and their ecology. It is also a great way to get children outdoors in an activity that the whole family can enjoy. What is the minimum age to become a falconer? According to federal regulations, children must be at least 12 years old to become a falconer. All beginner falconers start as Apprentices; however, under Minnesota regulations, children between 12 to 16 years of age are listed as Junior Apprentices. What are my responsibilities as their parent or guardian? According to federal regulations, a parent or legal guardian must sign the permits for all children under the age of 18, and they must state that they are willing to take responsibility for all activities that occur under their child’s permit. That includes hunting and training with the raptor, as well as, care and maintenance of the raptor. Additionally, in Minnesota, Junior Apprentices (permittees that are between 12 and 16 years of age) must house their raptor in the facilities of an adult falconry permittee, preferably their parent or legal guardian; therefore, it is recommended that at least one of the parents become a falconer as well.

We evaluate the efficacy of a falconer’s activity at deterring birds from Dęblin Military Airfield in Eastern Poland. The activ- ity of a falconer using trained raptors (goshawk Accipiter gentilis, saker Falco cherrug, and peregrine Falco peregrinus) resulted in a reduction in the total number of birds in the airfield, in comparison with the control period. The greatest reduction in the number of birds in the airfield under influence of the trained raptors’ action was recorded for: European starlings, black-headed gulls, and rooks. We found a significant negative correlation of total bird numbers with the number of days after the beginning of the falconer’s activity. The significant trends in reduction of the number of birds observed at the airfield was indicated for many studied species, including: domestic pigeons, lapwings, and jackdaws. The effectiveness of the falconer in deterring birds was greater in the spring-summer period, in comparison with the autumn-winter period. Drawbacks of the falconry programs are discussed.

A REVIEW OF FALCONRY AS A BIRD-HAZING TECHNIQUE WILLIAM A. ERICKSON, REX E. MARSH, and TERRELL P. SALMON, Wildlife and Fisheries Biology, University of California, Davis, California 95616. ABSTRACT: The use of trained falcons and hawks for dispersing pest birds has been mainly limited to airports in Europe and, to a lesser extent, in North America to prevent bird/aircraft strikes. The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) and the goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) are the raptors used most often. These trained birds can effectively disperse gulls (Larus spp.) and a variety of other pest bird species, although other bird-scaring methods are often equally or more effective and economical.
