What is the duration of a falconry permit in California?

In California, the duration of a falconry permit is set to five years. This timeframe allows the permit holder to engage in falconry activities under regulated conditions, ensuring that they adhere to both state and federal guidelines during that period. The five-year duration also reflects the commitment required for responsible falconry practices, including the care and training of raptors.
