This is the way that falconry has been practiced for thousands of years. Releasing birds back to the wild to breed in the spring and trapping a young bird the next fall season is an important falconry tradition. In this way, the effect of falconry on the wild raptor population is inconsequential. In fact, it helps the wild population by allowing the potential for more first-year birds to receive a helping hand in surviving through their first year.
