Hey eric check your pm.
When are you guys meeting?

yea, that helps a lot, lol. Thanks!

Well someone told me to check in late august. and guess what time it is? It's late august.
The people working at starbucks said they're usually there, but whenever I go they aren't. frus)confusedd

Anyone have the contact info of these guys that meet up at starbucks? I went there twice with no luck (but I've heard from the storeworkers that they do in fact meet there). I can't keep driving back...

... confusedd

I know was just joking... confusedd

Anyway, what about other falcons? Do falconers sometimes have their birds in the air at the same time? How do they keep their falcons from conflict with other...

"Hello"
"Who are you?"
"They call me the Bush-Beater"
crazyy
I think I will need a better entrance...

BTW have humans, pet dogs / cats ever been attacked accidently / intentionally by falcons?...

huhu, yea. Thanks. Sounds like a plan. Was what I had in mind.

Still gotta find those elusive falconers though. confusedd

Of course, life is about constant change and learning.

I just meant being generally well prepared by watching other falconers.

I think I meant just going so far as to take the test only if things don't work out. Even if I don't get a bird I'll just keep studying / apprenticing until I know everything there is to know and be...

After passing a test how long do I have to get everything ready to obtain a permit?

What seems like the 2nd biggest issue now is where I'm going to house the bird. Originally I thought in the garage, I don't know if that will be fine. I have a bathroom downstairs which has a door...

I've also read just about everything on the modern apprentice website.
Are there other good online articles to read?

k i'll definitely try looking for these guys. What would be more helpful though is if someone could point out other hawkers from Southern California on these boards and I'll try contacting them
...

but he said, "used to" meet there. How long ago was this? I hope they didn't change meeting location

were they members of nafex too?

Wow. What's the best way to get in contact with these guys? I'd rather not test my luck by going to startbucks every weekend trying to spot falconers, lol.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! I haven't been on a friendly forum in a long time... :D

Yea I couldn't figure out where that meet is. Somewhere in Utah?'

-Yea I'm not interested in owning a Peregrine, I know they're an endangered species.

Another reason is that one of my life...

So the best way would be to pass the test first, then find a sponsor?(via CHC). I suppose that way they know I'm serious.
Anywhere that I can get those studying materials for free or purchase 2nd...

wait, sponsor = mentor?

I thought a mentor was someone who trains you for 2 yrs and a sponsor is... I have no clue.. confusedd

ah, think I get it now. They're the same.

So the best way would...

I see, so as far as obtaining the falcon, cost will be near zero?

Thanks Jessica I'll def read those.
Oh yea I have been to the hawking website, but I couldn't figure out where the listed clubs...

btw how much money should I expect to spend on owning a falcon?
min - max ?

Well, I'll keep this short.

I'm 22 yrs old, going to college at Cal Poly Pomona (Pomona, California). I did not become interested in falconry after reading Harry Potter (I have never read a single...
