When flying a Harris' hawk, lure training is often considered less necessary due to the bird's natural hunting instincts and social behavior. Harris' hawks are known for their ability to work collaboratively in groups, which can make them more responsive to the falconer during training sessions. They generally have a strong bond with their handlers and tend to stay close during flights, making them more adaptable in fieldwork settings.

Additionally, Harris' hawks are often motivated by their desire to interact with people rather than relying heavily on the lure for stimulation. This social aspect allows for more direct engagement during flights. As a result, while lure training remains a valuable tool for all trained birds, a falconer may find it less critical when working with a Harris' hawk compared to other species that may require more consistent incentive to return or focus during training.
