                    TITLE 50--WILDLIFE AND FISHERIES

CHAPTER I--UNITED STATES FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

PART 21--MIGRATORY BIRD PERMITS--Table of Contents

                         Subpart A--Introduction

Sec. 21.3  Definitions.

    In addition to definitions contained in part 10 of this chapter, and
unless the context requires otherwise, as used in this part:
    Bred in captivity or captive-bred refers to raptors, including eggs,
hatched in captivity from parents that mated or otherwise transferred
gametes in captivity.
    Captivity means that a live raptor is held in a controlled
environment that is intensively manipulated by man for the purpose of
producing raptors of selected species, and that has boundaries designed
to prevent raptors, eggs or gametes of the selected species from
entering or leaving the controlled environment. General characteristics
of captivity may include, but are not limited to, artificial housing,
waste removal, health care, protection from predators, and artificially
supplied food.
    Falconry means the sport of taking quarry by means of a trained
raptor.
    Raptor means a live migratory bird of the Order Falconiformes or the
Order Strigiformes, other than a bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
or a golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos).
