Which action is considered illegal under falconry regulations?

Taking more than the allowed number of raptors is considered illegal under falconry regulations because it violates the established limits set to ensure the sustainability and conservation of raptor populations. Falconry is regulated to maintain a balance between the practice of falconry and the health of wildlife populations. These regulations typically specify a maximum number of raptors that can be taken from the wild in order to prevent overharvesting and to protect species that might be vulnerable to population declines.

In contrast, trapping a raptor with the correct permitting, keeping a raptor for educational purposes with appropriate compliance, and hunting with a trained raptor are all actions allowed under specific circumstances and regulations designed to promote responsible falconry practices. Each of these activities must adhere to certain guidelines, permissions, and ethical standards that help ensure they are conducted legally and sustainably.
