What's the reasoning for the line between you and the hawk? Is it like a guide for him or something?

To keep him from flying away. He's brand new. In the beginning, we keep them on a long leash called a creance. The problem with normal creances is they can snag on every little thing and jerk the hawk down onto the ground. So some of us, especially those of us with shitty back yards as shown, use the line stretched between two points with a short leash on a ring so that it won't snag on every stick or tuft of grass.
