Which of the following is true about eyass hawks?

Eyass hawks refer to juvenile hawks that have been taken from the nest but are not yet fledged or fully developed. One of the notable characteristics of eyass hawks is that they can be more receptive to certain handling techniques, such as hooding, when compared to passage hawks—those that are no longer nesting but have not been fully trained. The reasons for this include their natural curiosity, less ingrained fear of humans compared to older birds, and their dependency on humans for care and training during their formative stages.

With training and consistent handling, eyass hawks can develop a good bond with their falconers, making the hooding process smoother and sometimes faster. This adaptability can lead to a more positive training experience overall. While every bird is an individual, eyass hawks generally have a greater potential for easier handling at a young age, as they are still forming their behavioral responses and learning to trust their handlers.
