True or false: The term "austringer" refers to one who normally flies passage falcons rather than eyases.

The term "austringer" specifically refers to an individual who captures or trains birds of prey, particularly those that are taken from the wild (like passage falcons), but is commonly associated with those who primarily work with eyases, which are young birds that have not yet fledged. Therefore, saying that an austringer normally flies passage falcons rather than eyases does not accurately represent the broader usage of the term.

In falconry, the tradition has evolved such that the role of an austringer can encompass a variety of practices and preferences, including working with both types of birds. Thus, associating the term exclusively with passage falcons is misleading. The distinction reflects the nuanced and varied practices within falconry, where a falconer's choice of bird often depends on personal preference, as well as the goals of their training and hunting. This richness in terminology and practice further supports the reasoning behind the answer choice provided.
