So, that's 2.5 sorties an hour, 24 hours a day. I don't know how much falcon need to sleep, but that feels unsustainable.
Now I’m wondering. How large of an area one bird could cover. How many falcons does one professional falconer have? Do they take constant upkeep training like a dog or do they retain better? Does a falcon eat much? Can they eat people food? Like two mice a day with some fish would probably be ok. Maybe let it eat some of the crows to keep costs down?
So like 2-6 falcons, they can sleep in the van, let them eat the crows they nail. The birds are only flying from dawn to dusk, so 7 days a week for maybe 10 hours on average?
Screw it, I’m buying a falcon.
