: Sample collection was carried out under the official approval of the Ministry of Municipality and Environment in Qatar (Reference No. 2017/283748) and by trained veterinarians at Souq Waqif Falcon Hospital, Doha, Qatar. The blood samples were only taken during routine diagnostics from falcons being checked for purposes unrelated to the research activity and the researcher had no influence on the timing or location of the medical check-up. These blood samples would have normally been discarded if the researcher had not asked for them. The Monash University Animal Ethics Committee (AEC) advised that such activity, considered as scavenging, did not require animal ethics approval.
