Can we TAME (domesticate) a hawk or a falcon?

Answer 1

Trained yes, however as far as domestication goes I don't think so. Predatory animals, more specifically avian or raptors do not domesticate well. The only exceptions being chickens, ducks, geese, and pet birds. Predator's can all be trained to a certain extent, but fall far short of what we think of as domestication. The do not rely on humans exclusively for food, nor will they willingly stay in a confined situation. The again most creatures don't really like confinement, humans included.

Answer 2

the ancient art of falconry has been around for hundreds of years
you may absolutly try to train or domesticate a falcon or hawk. buy yourself some welding gloves.

Answer 3

To capture a hawk is illegal. Falcons have been trained for many centuries for hunting.

Answer 4

i love all raptors - the hawks are extra comical and very nearly look to have a experience of humour, the falcons are proper and huge to fly, the eagles are purely completely majestic. per chance a falcon.

Answer 5

To house any wild animal in any state is illegal for any purpose. To obtain a license you must talk to your local Department of Wildlife or Department of Natural Resources (DNR). If you have a license you are less likely to go to prison if someone sees you or hears of you interacting with any wild bird.
