Falconers' reporting requirements typically include

• A. Acquisition and disposition of raptors
• B. Daily weather logs
• C. Dietary records
• D. Pet care for household animals

Answer: (A)

Tracking what raptors you acquire and what happens to them is the core reporting duty for falconers. Keeping clear records of each bird’s entry into your collection and its final disposition—whether it’s transferred, sold, released, or dies—helps ensure you’re complying with permit conditions, proves lawful possession, and allows wildlife agencies to monitor inventory and prevent illegal taking or mismanagement. The focus on acquisition and disposition directly supports accountability and regulatory oversight.

Daily weather logs aren’t part of standard reporting requirements, and while dietary records or routine pet care for household animals are important for animal welfare, they aren’t the typical mandated reporting items used to verify falconry compliance.
