Is scaring birds to train hunting dogs prohibited?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salim, is scaring birds to train hunting dogs prohibited?

Answer:
No, it is not prohibited; Allah the Exalted has permitted it. He, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:
which you train as Allah has taught youتُعَلِّمُونَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَكُمُ اللَّهُ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:4]
meaning hunting dogs; a person teaches them how to hunt and how to catch the prey without eating from it, holding it for the owner who sent them. This is a type of training dogs, and it is not blameworthy, but rather it is permissible. Yes.
