Before you can train your first falcon, you'll need to get all of the necessary licenses required by your jurisdiction. For example, in the United States, you're required to apprentice with a licensed falconer for 2 years before you can obtain a license. Also, keep in mind that many places have housing requirements for falcons, so you'll need to make sure you have room for a large falcon enclosure.
