Bowsing is the practice of providing falcons with which resource?

• A. Drinking water
• B. Fresh meat
• C. A perch
• D. Warm clothing

Answer: (A)

Bowsing means giving the falcon access to drinking water. Hydration is essential for a falcon’s health, especially after flying or during warm weather, helping with digestion, circulation, and temperature regulation. Providing clean, fresh water keeps the bird hydrated between meals and activities. This is distinct from feeding with fresh meat, which nourishes hunger; a perch, which provides a resting place; and warm clothing, which is for the handler’s comfort. So drinking water is the resource associated with bowsing.
