Which statement about falconry facility inspections is true?

• A. They monitor the falconer's hunting quotas.
• B. They require only paperwork audits.
• C. They measure the birds' wing span during visits.
• D. They verify compliance with permit conditions.

Answer: (D)

Facility inspections test compliance with the permit conditions. Inspectors verify that housing, care, records, and any limitations set by the permit are being followed, ensuring the birds’ welfare and safe operation. That focus makes this statement true. Monitoring hunting quotas is not the purpose of facility inspections, as quotas are handled in regulatory or harvest records rather than in on-site checks. A paperwork-only audit would not fully assess how the facility operates, and measuring wing span during visits is not a standard inspection activity unless there’s a specific concern.
