===Species for beginners=== In North America, the capable [[red-tailed hawk]] is commonly flown by beginner falconers during their apprenticeship.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.themodernapprentice.com/redtail.htm|title=The Modern Apprentice β The Red-Tail Hawk|website=Themodernapprentice.com|access-date=29 October 2017|archive-date=22 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171022064059/http://www.themodernapprentice.com/redtail.htm|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.americanfalconry.com/beginners.html|title=Beginners Circle|website=Americanfalconry.com|access-date=29 October 2017|archive-date=31 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171031000540/http://www.americanfalconry.com/beginners.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Opinions differ on the usefulness of the kestrel for beginners due to its inherent fragility. In the UK, beginner falconers are often permitted to acquire a larger variety of birds, but Harris's hawk and the red-tailed hawk remain the most commonly used for beginners and experienced falconers alike.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://users.cybercity.dk/~ccc12787/raptors/parabuteo.html |title=Harris' Hawk |publisher=Cyber city |place=[[Denmark|DK]] |access-date=2013-03-19 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130305133856/http://users.cybercity.dk/~ccc12787/raptors/parabuteo.html |archive-date=2013-03-05 }}</ref> Red-tailed hawks are held in high regard in the UK due to the ease of breeding them in captivity, their inherent hardiness, and their capability hunting the rabbits and hares commonly found throughout the countryside in the UK. Many falconers in the UK and North America switch to accipiters or large falcons following their introduction with easier birds. In the US, accipiters, several types of buteos, and large falcons are only allowed to be owned by falconers who hold a general license. The three kinds of falconry licenses in the United States, typically, are the apprentice class, general class, and master class.
