In what situation is a falconer not required to have their falconry COR?

The situation where a falconer is not required to have their falconry Certificate of Registration (COR) is when they are flying at their own facilities. This is because the regulations typically stipulate that the COR is primarily necessary for activities involving the take, possession, or transport of birds of prey. When a falconer is flying their birds at home, they are operating within their own controlled environment and do not engage in the kind of activities that require registration.

In contrast, other scenarios outlined in the choices involve activities that may have broader implications, such as public interaction or the use of hunting dogs, which typically require oversight to ensure compliance with wildlife regulations and to protect both the falcons and the environment. Additionally, owning only endangered species presents its own set of legal requirements and permits separate from the standard COR needed for more widely practiced falconry. Thus, the option regarding flying at their own facilities is the correct context in which a COR is not required.
