This is a rundown of some of the do's and don'ts of finding a falconry sponsor. Your apprenticeship is an exciting time, and many falconry apprentices find themselves rushing to find the first person they can who will agree to sponsor them. But falconry is a sport with a large learning curve, and finiding someone who will support that journey the way you want to be supported will be critical to your success. I hope this helps you navigate some of the ins and outs of assimilating into the falconry community and finding that first, critical mentor.
