True or False: A Dutch hood is made of leather molded over a block.

A Dutch hood is indeed made of leather that is molded over a block. This type of hood is designed specifically to fit the shape of a bird's head, providing a snug and comfortable fit while effectively covering the eyes. The primary purpose of the Dutch hood is to protect the bird from visual distractions and to help calm it, making handling easier for the falconer. This construction method allows for the creation of a durable and functional item that serves both practical and aesthetic purposes in falconry.

The other options do not accurately describe the characteristics or uses of a Dutch hood, as it is not exclusive to owls, nor is there a more complex explanation needed beyond the fact that the statement about its construction is true.
