Can falconry be an efficient career, even if counted as a low-income job?
I know that it is mostly a pure sport and hobby, but can it be applied in the everyday world?
For example, can a falconer work as a bird trainer/public educator for a zoo/wildlife refuge without having a formal college degree?
Do directors hire falconers' services to use trained birds in commercials?
Can a falconer be an entrepreneur and tour venues showing their birds?
I realize that these may sound like ametuar questions, but after doing a bit of research I've developed an interest in the sport and have hopes that I could apply it to practical use.

Ok, I will bite...I hate to see a post unanswered for this long! LOL It's called falconry based bird abatement, but you have to be really good at what you do, and it is about the opposite of falconry, because of the reward system. Interesting, but not really practical. If you read more you will find that you cannot take money for educational purposes with your bird. Maybe go ahead and look into a degree, seems the best choice, IMHO.
