The benefit of using a lure with any bird includes...

Using a lure in falconry provides significant benefits to the training and performance of the bird. A lure is a training device that mimics prey and is used to encourage certain behaviors in the bird, such as chasing and catching, which are essential for their natural hunting instincts.

One important benefit is that it helps maintain the bird's physical fitness and sharpens their hunting skills without the risk of injury that could occur during live prey hunting. Utilizing a lure allows the falconer to practice recall and improve the bird's agility and response time in a controlled environment. It creates opportunities for the bird to engage in the tail-chasing behavior, which is an essential aspect of their hunting technique, reinforcing their instincts in a safe manner.

While it is true that the use of a lure does not expose the bird to wild prey that could potentially be carrying diseases, the primary focus of a lure in training is enhancing the bird's engagement and performance. Therefore, the assertion that there is no benefit from using a lure is incorrect. Each of these strategies results in better training outcomes and contributes positively to the bird’s well-being and efficiency as a hunting partner in falconry.
