Abstract
Raptors have been kept in captivity for many centuries. While the original purpose was for falconry, to obtain meat for the pot, they are now kept for a more diverse range of reasons. This has great relevance to the clinician, as husbandry has a considerable impact on disease. This chapter look into tethered birds, aviaries, falconry equipment and training.

Bald Eagles on line tethers: there is a bow perch under cover and large block in the open. Although the leash is short, it is attached by a moving ring to a fixed long rod, allowing greater movement for the birds without the dangers (to the handler/falconer) of flying from the aviary.
