BOYOS I JUST FUCKING SOLVED IT! 
Based islam thought you needed to cover their body with a scarf
But really you just need to cover up their eyes with a hood
TLDR
The purpose of the falconry hood is to control the moments a trainer and bird of prey interact
so that the bird recognizes the trainer’s role in positive and neutral moments and minimizes negative stimuli.
This means that the amount of time the bird is hooded is not a constant and can fluctuate in response
to the trainer’s growing reinforcement value.
Because birds of prey don’t have many social reinforcers and the relationship does rely largely on reinforcers such as food,
the trainer can avoid filling up the raptor’s crop by transporting it with a hood, thus removing the need to deliver food for
staying on the glove and not try to fly off, either in response to a scary stimulus or in anticipation of its next opportunity.
