What is the maximum number of raptors a general falconer may possess in Louisiana?

In Louisiana, a general falconer may possess a maximum of three raptors. This regulation is designed to ensure that falconers can maintain a manageable number of birds, allowing them to focus on the proper care, training, and conservation practices needed for each individual raptor. By limiting the number of birds, the state promotes responsible ownership and encourages falconers to build a deeper understanding of raptor care and the ecological role these birds play. This restriction also helps prevent overharvesting of wild populations and ensures that falconers are able to dedicate sufficient time and resources to the birds in their care.
