Is it possible to use small birds do falconry?
Falconry is the sport of hunting with birds of prey. If you do not use a bird of prey, it is not falconry. It may be possible to teach small birds to respond to you the way a hawk responds to a falconer, though. You might try teaching a small bird to fly to the glove, or to chase a lure. If you take it hunting, and it is not a bird of prey, you would wind up hunting for seeds or fruit or vegetables. I am not familiar with any small birds that could be used for this type of activity. Almost all wild birds are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty act, and cannot be possessed without permits. You might try a small bird that can be obtained from a pet store.
