Yes and no. If falconry is really in your blood you will make do. You will have an initial investment of at least $600-$1000 in equipment, books, housing facilities, licensing, and travel. After that, you will have your yearly license fees and count on minimally $200 per year for food and equipment replacement. Prices in California start around $400 for a Harris hawk and can go up to a couple thousand for a good falcon.
