Frequently asked questions: Documents
Does the falcon passport replace a CITES permit?
No. The falcon passport is a local registration. It is neither an import permit, nor an export permit, nor a title of ownership, nor proof of captive origin.
What does a DNA parentage test prove?
That the bird's genetic profile is compatible with its declared parents. It is the only one of the three common identifiers admissible in court, but it does not prove captive birth: it makes a false declaration detectable.
What is the difference between a closed ring and a transponder?
A closed ring shows that a ring was fitted to a young bird, not on which bird. A transponder links a number to an individual and allows an on-the-spot check, but it says nothing about the bird's origin.
