What is entering?

• A. Releasing the bird to hunt
• B. Introducing quarry species
• C. A type of luring technique
• D. A form of conditioning

Answer: (B)

Entering means introducing quarry species into the hawk’s training environment so the bird can observe and learn to identify and pursue real prey. This step provides the hawk with exposure to the quarry, helping it develop the recognition and strike response that are essential for effective hunting. It isn’t just releasing the bird to hunt, nor is it a lure technique or a general conditioning exercise—the focus is on exposing the bird to the quarry itself.
