Where can bells be properly fastened on a trained raptor?

Bells are used in falconry to help locate a bird in flight and to monitor its movements. The preferred places for fastening bells on a trained raptor include the tail, neck, and legs.

Fastening bells on the tail allows for audible feedback when the bird is in flight, showing the falconer where the bird is as it moves through the air. Bells attached to the neck can also provide sound when the bird is on the perch, making it easier to keep track of the bird's position. Additionally, placing bells on the legs can help ensure that they do not interfere with the bird’s mobility or hunting capabilities, while still allowing the sound to be heard during flight.

This arrangement is specifically designed to avoid any discomfort or hindrances to the bird’s ability to hunt or fly, making it the most effective way to utilize bells in falconry.
