Very good advice, all of it. It's always encouraging to me when I see people post things like this.

As for me, personally, I've decided to try out falconry. It's something I've been interested in since I was a kid. So after years of reading about it, and watching videos of other people doing it, I've taken the next step of seeking out a club near(ish) me. Hopefully I can start the clock on the apprenticeship soon and hopefully 8 or 9 years from now, I can have my own peregrine.

So, yay goals! 🙂

Edited to add: It takes at least 7 years to become a Master Falconer, which is my goal. Not how long it takes to be able to keep your own falcon. Just wanted to clarify.
