I know what you mean. I'd almost like to sneak back at night and let them all go.

If you did, you'd seal their doom.

Birds used for falconry and/or educational purposes are called human imprints and rely on people for everything, including food.  They are unable to hunt on their own and have no idea how to actually survive without the assistance of people.

Nice pictures by the way.
