How do you get a falconry licence?!
Go to your local wildlife resoreses building, get the falconry proclomation, go home study, find out about falconry. Read some books and then after a few weeks go back and as for the quiz. If you pass the quiz your off to being an aprentice falconer. But if you dont pass it off you can wait 14 days to study and go back and retake the quiz. Once you have done all of that you are and aprentice falconer for a while. Then when you are done you can go and go capture your bird, train it, hunt, and have fun with your bird!!!
Golden Ealge
The Golden Eagle, (Aquila chrysaetos) is one of the best known birds of prey in the Northern Hemisphere. Like all eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae. Once widespread across the Holarctic, it has disappeared from many of the more heavily populated areas. Despite being extirpated from some its former range or uncommon, the species is still fairly ubiquitous, being present in Eurasia, North America, and parts of Africa. The highest density of nesting Golden Eagles in the world lies in southern Alameda County, California.[1][2][3] These birds are dark brown, with lighter golden-brown plumage on their heads and necks.
Golden Eagles use their agility and speed combined with extremely powerful talons to snatch up prey including rabbits, marmots, ground squirrels, and large mammals such as fox, wild and domestic cats, mountain goats, ibex, and young deer. They will also eat carrion if prey is scarce, as well as reptiles. Birds, including large species up to the size of swans and cranes as well as ravens and Greater Black-backed Gulls have all been recorded as prey. They have even been known to attack and kill fully grown roe deer. The Eurasian subspecies are used to hunt and kill wolves in many native communities, where their status is regarded with great mystic reverence.
Golden Eagles maintain territories that may be as large as 155 square kilometres (60 square miles). They are monogamous and may remain together for several years or possibly for life. Golden Eagles nest in high places including cliffs, trees, or human structures such as telephone poles. They build huge nests to which they may return for several breeding years. Females lay from one to four eggs, and both parents incubate them for 40 to 45 days. Typically, one or two young survive to fledge in about three months. You cant really use in falconry but just as long as you use it for live stock. You can see more information on: wikipedia.org , google ect.

Northern Goshawk
The Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) is a medium-large bird of pry in the family Accipitrideae, which also includes other diurnal raptors, such as eagles , buzzards and harrier.
The Northern Goshawk is the largest member of the genus Accipititer. It is a raptor with short, broad wings and a long tail, both adaptations to manoeuvring through trees in the forests it lives and nests in. Across most of the species's range, it is blue-grey above and barred grey or white below, but Asian subspecies in particular range from nearly white overall to nearly black above. Adults always have a white eye stripe. Males are 49–57 cm (19–22 in) long with a 93–105 cm (37–41 in) wingspan. The female is much larger, 58–64 cm (23–25 in) long with a 108–127 cm (43–50 in) wingspan. Males of the smaller races can weigh as little as 630 grams (22 oz), whereas females of the larger races can weigh as much as 2 kg (4.4 lb). The juvenile is brown above and barred brown below. The flight is a characteristic "five slow flaps – straight glide". You can find more information on: wikipedia.org, google and many other places.
