• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Falconers are required to pay various fees as part of maintaining their permits and complying with regulations. This includes application fees for obtaining the necessary permits to practice falconry, which helps ensure that all practitioners meet the required standards for training and bird care. Additionally, there are inspection fees associated with up to five enclosures or mews, where falconers house their birds. This ensures that enclosures meet safety and welfare standards set by regulatory agencies. Lastly, there are also fees for any additional enclosures or mews a falconer chooses to maintain. Collectively, these fees support the management and oversight of falconry practices, promoting responsible care of raptors. Thus, selecting all the mentioned options encompasses the complete range of financial obligations falconers face in California.
