Thanks so much Shavkat, Carol and Grace. In answer to your question, this Falcon has been rescued from a life threatening situation and brought into Wingspan for help. They worked on this bird to heal it. They train it to fend for itself and it grows to the stage where it can be released into the wild again
It is illegal to keep this bird as a pet or to become a falconer of this bird. You can become a falconer for a NZ Harrier Hawk..
Yes, there is a reason for that shackle and I am not sure why.. I will ask them.

Is it being captured as a pet?
Incredible shot here of this beauty!
Is the bird shackled? I see something around his legs
