“use of eagles in falconry demands access to open countryside in unpopulated areas. These large birds are quite capable of killing small dogs. Only the most experienced and responsible falconers should even consider flying eagles. Because they are highly individualist eagles that often do not take well to being handled by more than one person. Due to their size, basic training practices must be altered to accommodate their bulk.”
