- Falcons in this period of miqyad can carry out the molting process. Moulting in a falcon is the process of discarding old feathers from its body and growing new ones.
- Falcons for falconry are taken care of with regard to temperature, light, and ventilation, and space is provided to carry out natural exercises during the miqyad.
