     3. At least one suitable container for each raptor for drinking and bathing. The container must be 2 to 6 inches deep and wider than the length of the raptor.

     5. Equipment for protecting a raptor when transporting the raptor, including, without limitation, a perch suitable for the raptor and equipment to protect the raptor from extreme temperatures and wind and excessive disturbance. A container of the type commonly known as a giant hood, or a similar container, shall be deemed by the Department to be acceptable for transporting a raptor or for temporarily housing a raptor.

     6. Any radio transmitters required pursuant to NAC 503.465.
