What is the term for a hawk that has been raised from a young age and is closely bonded to humans?

The term for a hawk that has been raised from a young age and is closely bonded to humans is "imprinted." When a hawk is imprinted, it has been exposed to human presence during its critical developmental phase, leading to a strong attachment and influence of humans on its behavior. This can significantly impact the bird's ability to navigate and interact with its environment, as well as its training for falconry. An imprinted hawk tends to develop a reliance on humans for companionship, making it more amenable to training and potentially more responsive during hunting sessions.

Other terms within the choices serve different purposes, such as "eyas," which refers to a young hawk that has not yet fledged and has not yet developed the same bond as an imprinted bird. "Passager" describes a bird that has been caught in the wild and trained, indicating a different background than an imprinted hawk. The term "juvenile" simply refers to the age of the bird and does not specify the bond it has with humans. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for anyone involved in falconry and the care and training of raptors.
