This is the follow-on course from ‘Keeping Birds of Prey’. It is specifically designed to meet the needs of those who wish to train their Bird of Prey or Owl to fly freely and to return safely to the glove. The course is divided into 4 ‘modules’ as follows:

• Falconry ‘furniture’ and equipment – describing the equipment you need and how to use it.
• Species characteristics and rearing techniques – how to ensure you get the correct bird of prey or owl for you
• Initial training, manning and weight management – The essential techniques you need to successfully tame and train your bird of prey or owl
• Flying an unrestrained bird of prey – ensuring that your bird of prey or owl is ready to fly free, and what to do if it all goes wrong.
