Do most North American falconers prefer the Dutch hood to the Indian pattern when making their own hood? True or False?

The statement that most North American falconers prefer the Dutch hood to the Indian pattern when making their own hood is not accurate. In fact, many falconers have different preferences based on various factors, including individual birds and personal techniques. The Dutch hood is characterized by its design that provides better visibility and space for the bird, while the Indian pattern can offer different advantages such as ease of manufacturing and fitting.

Falconers often choose a hood based on their specific needs, the species of their bird, their training practices, and individual preferences rather than a broad consensus favoring one style over another. This diversity in choice reflects the varied styles and experiences within the falconry community, making the generalization about preference incorrect.
