I live in the Chicago area and state law says that you must pass a 
test which reflects your knowledge of raptors. They send you a 15 page
study guide which includes info. on building specs for sheds etc. You
also have to have a mentor, and you start with a red-tailed hawk. There's
five levels of experience and you must be tested as you acheive the 
next level. A level 5 grants you a permit to raise and breed Peregrine
falcons. Anyway, I guess this is similar in all states. Presumably
something like this would exist in your country.
