What is a minimum requirement for keeping multiple raptors in an indoor facility?

The minimum requirement for keeping multiple raptors in an indoor facility is that they shall be tethered or separated by partitions. This is essential for several reasons. Firstly, raptors can be territorial and aggressive towards one another, particularly during breeding seasons or if they perceive a threat. Having them tethered or separated helps to prevent fighting and stress-related injuries.

Additionally, separation by partitions allows for individual care and monitoring of each bird's health and behavior, which is critical in maintaining their well-being. Raptors have specific needs, including dietary requirements and environmental preferences, and having them in a manner that allows for separation facilitates proper care without the risk of conflict.

This approach also ensures that if one bird falls ill, it can be isolated without impacting the health of the others. Therefore, using partitions or tethering is a foundational practice in raptor management in an indoor facility to promote safety and well-being for each individual bird.
