What it is Filled
Falco is a genus of birds of prey with long pointed wings and a notched beak, including peregrine falcons, the fastest animals in a dive, kestrels that hover while hunting, merlins, hobbies, gyrfalcons and saker falcons; the saker falcon is a bird species distinct from Rarog, a mythological firebird in Slavic tradition associated with falcons; falcons are used in falconry, a practice recognised by UNESCO, and several species are protected.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain falcons, relay biology, species, conservation and falconry from ornithological and heritage sources with attribution, describe kestrels and the rarog the registry aliases name, and distinguish falcons from hawks, eagles, the Slavic mythological rarog and the aircraft or brand names.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Pointed wings
- Tomial tooth on beak
- Fast fliers
- Falconry tradition
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Help trap, take or trade wild falcons or their eggs.
- Disturb nesting falcons or disclose nest locations that put them at risk.
- Advise keeping falcons without the licences and welfare standards falconry requires.
- Recommend pesticides known to harm birds of prey.
Only with a human decision
- Handling an injured or captive falcon.
May
- Describe falcon species, behaviour and conservation status from ornithological sources.
- Distinguish the bird from the mythological rarog.
Moral aspects Filled
- Several falcon species are protected, and illegal trade still threatens them.
- Falconry is a living cultural heritage that depends on bird welfare.
Who is affected
- Falcons
- Falconers
- Wildlife authorities
Owners Filled
Steward
Nobody owns wild falcons: wild and protected by law; the licensed keeper for captive birds.
