What constitutes a breach in falconry transfer regulations?

A breach in falconry transfer regulations occurs when there is a failure to follow the proper notification protocol established by the governing bodies. In this context, both falconers involved in the transfer of a raptor must notify the relevant regulatory authority, which is often a division that oversees wildlife and falconry permits. This requirement is in place to ensure that records are properly maintained and that all transfers are documented.

By notifying the Division, both parties facilitate the tracking of raptors and their ownership, which can help address issues related to species conservation, licensing, and accountability. Failure to do this can result in legal consequences for both the transferor and transferee, as it undermines the framework that governs falconry practices.

The other options, such as not transferring a trained raptor, transferring exclusively to a master class falconer, or exceeding the number of raptors owned, do not specifically pertain to the requirement for notifying the Division. While they may involve important considerations in the practice of falconry, they do not directly relate to a breach in transfer regulations as defined by the necessity of notification.
