What does entering your new bird refer to?

Entering your new bird refers to the process of acclimating and training a young or newly acquired bird of prey, often with the intention of having it chase new quarry or hunt. This process is crucial for developing the bird's hunting skills, confidence, and understanding of the relationship with its falconer. During this time, the falconer typically provides opportunities for the bird to experience real hunting situations in a controlled environment where it can learn to chase and capture prey without overwhelming stress or danger.

This method allows the bird to gradually adapt to hunting and enhances its natural instincts while also building a strong bond between the falconer and the bird. Other options do not accurately describe the process of entering a newly acquired bird; they focus on different aspects of falconry or refer to practices that do not align with the fundamental goal of this phase in training.
