Falconry Basics | How to handle and feed your bird of prey 

This is a terrific resource. I doubt I'll ever be engaging in falconry, but it's fascinating to learn these details nevertheless.

Love the way you think about the birds perspective of learning without frustration and too much repetition. A great philosophy for teaching all animals. Thanks, keep posting!

Great demonstration. As a falconer of over 13 years, I learned something today. Thank you.

Soooo ... I'm sitting here in my small apartment near Tokyo practicing how to hold an imaginary raptor using proper hand and arm positioning, and thinking about the kind and quality of glove I need. Never mind that I don't have the facilities or available habitat or opportunity to have a bird of prey ... I'm still going to practice (and enjoying doing it too). 😁 Thank you Falcon Lady!

No idea why I just watched a lot of your video's, I don't even own a falcon and I doubt I'll ever do. But I just found it very interesting and I like the way you explain it. Good job.

I first became interested in falcons when a pair of peregrines nested on the top of my office building in San Francisco (in a sheltered area). This was in the mid '90's and falcons were endangered here in California. A nest cam was set up so we could watch the eggs being incubated and hatch--cute little fluff balls. The babies were banded at about 6 weeks of age. It was such fun to watch them grow to be juveniles and finally take the great leap off the ledge (There were trained volunteers on the ground to return the fledgling to the nest in case the initial flight was unsuccessful.) We also could go outside and watch the parents train their kids to fly and hunt. Thank you for showing us how falcons and other birds of prey can be trained to interact and hunt with humans. Your falcon and goshawk are beautiful.

why am i actually listening to what shes saying as if id ever have a bird of prey ✊🏼😳

The best bird I've ever seen fly was a Peregrine called 'Lark' at the Hawk Conservancy, Hampshire. He was the main event that always got the crowd excited. He really did show what a Peregrine can do, and always worked on full tilt. Amazing, and I miss his displays as they were always breathtaking.

Falconry as a hobby is such a power move.

I love videos like yours because they show a more intimate view of falconry and most importantly the everyday interactions with the birds. Love the little things, it reminds me of my lovebirds. Big or small, tiny dinosaurs all.

I love your channel. I really feel like ive learned more bout birds, even though im dealing with pets.

Ive loved raptors my whole life used to draw them endlessly as a kid, theres about a .7% chance I will actually get into falconry. But just seeing the birds and learning is great, so beautiful

I love this!!! Me and my family visited a falconry while we were in England. The birds are such wonderful creatures, and this brings back memories

The bird’s “furniture “ ...love it 😁

That was very interesting...awe inspiring too. I can tell you put a lot of work in ... My love for birds grew over 6 yrs ago when long story short I identified over 35 species of bird in my yard and within 3 yrs I was watering and feeding quite a few. One pair had offspring and so on. They told their best mates to come on over. They knew me and would fly down when I whistled. I simply adore them. The closest I came to a Hawk and an Eagle was when the Hawk grabbed a bird on 3 occasions, and in the Eagles case when he grabbed a rabbit. eek

Fist time coming across your channel and I must say I subscribed immediately and sought you out on Instagram as well, enjoyed this video very much as you provided great information. 🙂

I'm getting to volunteer with a local falconry company in Oklahoma! These videos are helping tremendously in my educational endeavors❤

Love your matter of fact presentation. So many interesting facets to this very complicated endeavor that you have mastered.

Consider me subscribed. Watching your clips has inspired me to consider making my own clips. In my case, it would be about Rottweillers. Sadly, they're often misunderstood, mainly because they're often depicted in films or TV shows as being vicious. There are no bad Rottweilers. There are only bad owners of Rottweilers. Yes, they can be a handful, if you don't understand dog behavior. Not everyone can handle them because they can be quite boisterous. That said, a well-balanced Rottie is a fiercely loyal, loving soul. They're highly intelligent, as well as, comical. All my Rotties have exhibited a distinct sense of humour. My main reason for making clips has to do with one quality many (but not all) Rotties possess. They growl when they're happy. For anyone not used to this, it could be easily misinterpreted as aggression. Of all the clips I've watched on RU-vid about Rotties, none cover this behavior. Perhaps it's time there was. Thoroughly enjoying the channel. Pleased I stumbled across it today. Peace. EDIT: Question. Do falcons show affection or love? My impression is, they're almost reptilian in this regard.

Thank you! I have humming birds and golden eagles in my back yard. Just love your videos. Great job, young lady!

I just found your channel yesterday and i can't stop watching ! Keep up the good work !!

Wow that gyrfalcon is so beautiful

Those gloves are sick! The longer ones look like some lord of the rings armor.. I DIG THAT

I love this channel! Can't get enough of it. I watched all the videos at once and thought, "Is that all?" I'm looking forward to more falconry adventures with all the birds.

Thank you educating the world of a craft you love and care about, amazing how your birds communicate with you...such trust...

Thanks a lot. My Amazon parrot, Is happier on my hand now. I still learn after a these years. The angle of my hand is now correct. Thanks. 👍 from me. Keith. UK 🇬🇧

Hi friends!! I just finished learning some interesting stuff about these birds this morning. Absolutely amazing bird. Very beautiful as well. Extreme eye sights. Tysm for sharing as well. ❤

I love your videos! You are humble and very loving for your animals!

She reminds me of the late Jack Bruce. Its something about the face expression. She's very professional so it's nice listening to her.

Just found your channel yesterday. It's really amazing. I briefly worked in falconnery few years ago, owner just told me my positionning, handling and stability was perfect and i just used to do it the way you showed without ever questionning why i did it the correct way, now i know ! Amazing walks with these guys, getting them back on my arm after they flew away and walked for some time. Would completely love to work among these birds again, hello from France !

Great video beautiful birds 🦅 going to watch every video made and to come glad I found your channel

I've always been fascinated with falconry. I've seen great videos here on RU-vid but yours is the first that really made me understand all the facets of this wonderful "sport" (is it considered a sport, I'm wondering..??) Anyway, first rate -- consider me subscribed.

Could watch peregrine falcons all day. Amazing birds. He seems so contented. Thank you for another great video!

Great informative video. I'm rewatching your videos until you release more vids !

What a fantastic explanation. I would love to try falconry out! Keep the videos coming!

This may not make any sense if you haven't read certain books by Terry Pratchett, but you seem to be a lot more intact than Hodgesaarghh. What does Hodgesaarghh do wrong?

I don't know how I ended up here but so far I'm really enjoying your videos, keep up the good work and say hello to Fable for me pls 😊

This is one of those rare videos where I find myself bummed I can only give it one thumb's up.
