These links aren't working. Do I need some kind of permit? I also think I have to train under someone that is experienced.

If you want to train a hawk you may need a “sporting permit”, but you also want to make sure you’re taking care of your hawk, because falconry is illegal in many US states.

I looked it up and it is legal in my state. Also, I see that I need a permit and sponsor to start out in falconry. I would start out as an apprentice.

In the US, falconry is legal in a lot of states. And yes, you will need to register with the appropriate authorities. It’s good to do this in a group of other falconers, so that you have some peer support and guidance.

Yeah I have a lot to learn and I definitely need a mentor.
