True or False: A General Falconer may only have up to 2 wild caught raptors at any age.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if permitted by the department
• D. True, under 18

Answer: (B)

The statement is false because regulations for General Falconers in California allow for certain limitations on the number of wild-caught raptors, but they are not restricted to having only 2 wild-caught raptors at any age. A General Falconer can possess up to three raptors, as long as they meet the necessary qualifications and permits. The rules regarding falconry and the ownership of wild-caught raptors can be complex, and they may allow for exceptions or additional permits that could enable a General Falconer to handle more than just two.

Understanding these nuances is important for anyone involved in falconry to ensure compliance with state regulations while practicing the art of falconry responsibly.
