Wash. Admin. Code § 220-420-350 - Use of falconry raptors in education programs

(1) A general or master falconer may use a raptor in education programs presented in public venues. A permitted falconer does not need a state scientific collection permit or a federal special purpose possession for education permit for public display to conduct education activities using a falconry raptor held under a state, tribal, or territorial falconry permit.

(2) An apprentice falconer may present education programs if under the supervision of a general or master falconer.

(3) A raptor used by a falconer for education must be one primarily used for falconry. A fee for presentation of an education program may be charged, but the fee may not exceed the amount required to recoup the falconer's costs.

(4) In presenting conservation education programs, a falconer must provide information about the biology, ecological roles, and needs of raptors or other migratory birds, although not all of these topics must be addressed in every presentation.
