Can an apprentice falconer conduct an educational display of their bird?

An apprentice falconer is permitted to conduct an educational display of their bird only if a general or master falconer is present. This requirement is in place to ensure the safety and proper handling of the bird, as the apprentice may not yet possess the full experience and knowledge necessary to manage situations that can arise during public demonstrations. The presence of a more experienced falconer provides guidance and oversight, which is crucial not only for the welfare of the bird but also for the safety of the audience. It also facilitates adherence to best practices and legal regulations concerning falconry presentations.

While some may think that an apprentice could conduct a display independently or just follow local regulations, these scenarios don't account for the need for direct supervision by a more experienced falconer to mitigate risks and ensure a positive educational experience.
