True or False: A temporary transfer for rehabilitation of Eagles can only be made to a Master Falconer.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not applicable
• D. Only under special circumstances

Answer: (B)

The statement regarding the temporary transfer for rehabilitation of eagles is false. In California, regulations on falconry allow for a broader scope of individuals who can temporarily receive an eagle for rehabilitation purposes. Such transfers can be made not just to Master Falconers, but also to individuals holding specific permits that authorize them to rehabilitate wildlife, including eagles. This means that wildlife rehabilitators, under the appropriate permits, can also take in eagles for rehabilitation efforts. Therefore, the regulations allow for these transfers to promote the care and recovery of injured birds, opening the process to qualified individuals beyond just Master Falconers.

The other choices do not encompass the full scope of the regulations pertaining to rehabilitation. For instance, stating that transfers can only occur under special circumstances does not adequately reflect the general provisions for rehabilitation, which are more inclusive. Additionally, marking something as "not applicable" fails to acknowledge the existing regulatory framework that governs the transfer of eagles for rehabilitation purposes.
