The take of wild raptors for falconry has been essential to the sport for most of the sport's existence. Wild birds perform so much better than captive-bred raptors that it is well worth the effort to trap and train a wild bird. Lire davantage

As a falconer for 34 years and also a person that ran an environmental education center in North Carolina, I can say with conviction that falconers are all strong advocates for the conservation of birds of prey . Lire davantage

I live in Warren County Kentucky and we are home to the 3rd largest city in KY. There are 3-4 practicing falconers in this county and only one of us, me, is flying a wild-trapped bird, a Red Tail. Lire davantage

Red tailed hawks in the wild are well known to have a nearly 90% mortality rate in their first year of life. A hawk being captured by a falconer as a juvenile is the equivalent of winning the lottery. The survival rate jumps to near 100% and any care at all the bird needs it gets. Lire davantage

Falconers in the US are ever evolving to play a larger role in raptor conservation and even raptor rehabilitation efforts. The take of wild raptors, with already high mortality rates, isn’t something falconers do for the purpose of keeping a pet or to have bragging rights. Lire davantage

My daughter is an active falconer. I have had the opportunity to see her train a wild caught red tailed hawk and have seen the bond that they share grow. I support this proposal for a number of reasons. Lire davantage

My sister is a falconer in Ontario and was able to legally catch a redtail hawk from the wild. This is an important tradition in falconry, and has been declared as “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity” by UNESCO. I feel that it’s very important to strengthen this tradition in Ontario.

This is a great idea! The falconry community as a whole is extremely responsible in animal care and cares deeply about the wildlife they work closely with. This increase would not affect the the wild populations of birds. Lire davantage

While I am not an Ontario resident, I am a close neighbor in Michigan. The current regulations are similar to what we had in Michigan many years ago. With coordinations with our DNR and Audubon we expanded the take of our common hawk species with no discernible affect on local raptor populations. Lire davantage

Falconers have played an important role in raptor conservation, and by allowing more falconers to have access to wild birds, the MNRF is encouraging more active conservation and citizen science. Lire davantage

In the consideration of Falconry several things must be considered. # 1: Falconry is an extremely old sport and is practiced on every continent and has been for centuries. #2: Falconry has proven over the centuries to be not harmful to raptor species and game species as well. Lire davantage

I support the widening of falconry take for Ontario falconers. Falconry has long been shown world-wide to be a no-impact sport. The proposed wild take is a minuscule drop in the bucket compared to normal annual first-year mortality. Lire davantage

I have a friend who is an established falconer who also does a great deal to rehabilitate injured birds of prey of all ages. In fact, she is dedicated to the birds to a great extent and is very proud when she can re-introduce a rehabilitated falcon to the wild. Lire davantage

I'm writing to encourage to passage of regulations that will increase the wild take of raptors for falconry. Licensed falconers have historically played a key role in the conservation process and are responsible for the increase in peregrine falcon numbers throughout North America. Lire davantage

Falconry plays a very important role in educating the public not only on birds of prey but all animals in our environment. Habit conservation, as well as knowing, understanding, and communicating with the public on human effects on the environment. Lire davantage
