Who must notify the Division when a raptor is transferred to another falconer?

When a raptor is transferred to another falconer, it is essential that both the transferring falconer and the receiving falconer notify the Division. This is a regulatory requirement to ensure that all raptors are accounted for and that their ownership is appropriately documented. By requiring both parties to notify the Division, it helps maintain accurate records regarding the raptor population, ownership, and compliance with falconry laws. This practice not only promotes responsible management of raptor species but also helps in tracking them for conservation and research purposes.

This joint responsibility between the transferring and receiving falconers fosters transparency and accountability within the falconry community, ensuring that both are aware of their obligations related to the care and legal possession of the bird.
