Falconry Diary | Cloud the Goshawk | Part 1 

I have never been so enthralled by someone making a flying dinosaur leash.

7:58 background boop-boop detected >_>

I live in North Carolina, U.S. I have to tell you that looking at your video's has really made me look at these Hawks and Ravens in a whole new light. We have a lot of hawks and ravens and crow here. I always thought they were just ugly things eating road kill. Looking at your channel has made me realize how beautiful and smart they really are!! They're really just amazing!! Thank you for opening my eyes and heart to these beautiful animals. 🙂🦅❤

Patience is an essential trait when working with any animal of any species, and you have demonstrated it beautifully in this video.

Those gentle "I know you're there momma..." Boop boops, while you're talking around the 8 min mark are insanely adorable.

Holy Cats!!! You just made that furniture from scratch! I can hardly get a bowl of cereal made without hurting myself. Amy, you are astonishing.

Came here for the boops and the wha's, stayed to be informed on Falconry. Thanks so much for this informative channel. :)

Interesting video Amy. It will be nice to see Cloud take off for the clouds! 👍👍😉😉🦜🦜👍👍

Keep up the good work with your beautiful birds take care

**sniff** They grow up so fast.....

You are such a pro! Amazing skill set to make and apply Cloud's furniture one handed! Some lucky birds have you as their caretaker!

Cloud is an exceptionally handsome young man, very photogenic. Yours is such an amazing channel and I look forward to seeing part 2 of Falconry Diaries.

4 hours!? love the “furniture” and hanging flower basket on your new facility. All so interesting and fascinating, WOW to Fable, 👏🏻to James and 👍🏼to you maestra

Fascinating! I look forward to each of your videos. Thank you for bringing us along on Cloud”s new journey. ❤️

This will be a fascinating series! Explaining the process from both your perspective and the hawk's. Showing the beautiful relationship you both share...

This was so awesome to watch. I want more! Thank you for keeping us in the journey of Cloud's training.

Boop Boop , good to see you again. Glad to see everyone settling in after your move. Love to you , Cloud & of course, Fable. Looking forward to see Cloud's progress in future videos. Excellemt one handed work ! I caught that " boop boop " @8:00 ha ha

Love this!! Thank you for sharing!

Excellent video production. I admire the Falconers way of life. Busy, calm and rewarding. Well done Amy.

I’m learning so much from you. Thank you for sharing your world with us!

A new video yay :D

Wow....! He’s gotten huge in such short time..! Awesome...!

This felt like watching a good documentary! Fantastic job, Amy! Thank you for allowing us a peek inside your art!

That's got to be so rewarding. Like watching a child take their first steps. Great video !!

For what looks on the surface to be some quiet footage of a bird and a perch, that was rather intense!!. So glad to see that Cloud has settled. I loved the way when he finally decided to perch, he just powered up there like a boss. I think this guy is strong willed........he’ll do what you want.......but on his terms. Looking forward to your next update on your developing partnership with Cloud.

Cloud, like his namesake in final fantasy 7, one of the greatest - just wants to show his father he is one of the best. Thanks for the continued amazing content :)

Hi Amy, thanks for another amazing lesson. Cloud grew up fast, and he's beautiful.

honestly if you have 4hours of footage of him adjusting to his new perch, I would gladly watch that on a "secondary" channel and just chill with him

Great video, thanks for the interesting content and education in preparing these truly majestic creatures for flight.

The heart and intensity of dedication of your work with the birds is so interesting & beautiful to behold! Thank you :)

Beautiful and majestic animals! Saw a Goshawk female take down a pigeon in a field behind my house the other year. Was able to see her make quick work of it through my 20/100 binocs. Have a regular visit by a heron too and the yearly visits of my house martins...nearly time for them to head back to Africa. You have a lovely place there and they all look contented birds!

Living in the US Pacific NW Cascade mountains, I've watched the wild cousins of many of your birds for years. As with all my neighbors, I respect their space, so I very rarely see them close up. Your videos are very well done and seeing the birds up close from egg to adult is wonderful. Thank you for sharing this life with us.

I found your channel while searching for Goshawks and so happy I did ! You have an amazing channel and it is wonderful to see the love you have for your birds. Had to subscribe and it seems I will be spending my Sunday binge watching your videos. Thank you for creating such an informative channel !

What a beautiful bird. I've watched every video you've made of him from hatching to now. I love your channel. I've always been fascinated by birds of prey and to see them presented like this is way beyond cool. Thank you.

Really looking forward to seeing his story over time. Such an amazing career with some of the most beautiful animals. Thanks for this inside look!

I get to live out my falconry dreams through you and Fable, thank you.

I was so busy binge watching your previous videos (for the umpteenth time) that I didn’t realize this posted until just now. What a treat! Thank you Amy! xx

Hi Amy, Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful work, Cloud is stunning. As always watching your channel is my zen! All best and be well!

Such a beautiful and magnificent bird!! I can't wait to see more!

I'm so glad Cloud and you are doing well. Good luck with his training and thanks for such good content.

What a fantastic life you are living. I'm envious.

Goshawks are one of my favourite raptors. There was a mating pair that always came back each spring to the ravine behind where I used to live. Was amazing watching them hunt and raise their chicks! There was a barred owl in the same area. So many fond memories!

Amy he is just beautiful, I don’t know anyone else but I could almost feel his anxiety of uncertainty and to see him calm and relax it was amazing. They truly are majestic birds thank you for sharing such precious moments x

Such a great video thanks for sharing this Amy!

Amy, you and your birds are simply enchanting. I stumbled onto your videos quite by accident and have spent the last FOUR HOURS watching. I have now subscribed and you and the birds have a loyal fan. Thank you for making me smile.

Oh, this is so lovely. You were certainly meant to work with these wondrous birds. 😍

He's such a beautiful animal! Thank you for sharing.

Gosh, he's beautiful! I held my breath so many times...💜 Watching the intimacy between you and your birds brings me such peace. Thanks so much!💜💜💜

He’s so beautiful! Being an artist I like drawing birds and the markings on his feathers are so elegant!

Beautifully made. I can't wait for more.

Watching them fly is amazing,so agile, good luck.

I was watching your previously uploaded videos, Amy. And i realized the grit and commitment put in not just by you but also the birds. They have decided to stick to you and live out their lives with you. Everytime you let them off to fly, they can as well choose to just wander off and not come back. It's not just food and shelter, but trust and companionship they have found with you , and you in them. And i might just be overly emotional after tearing up seeing you give head scratches to Fable, but this is the true definition of love. The long term commitment and to bear each other in all the states be it good or bad. It is acceptance in its most excellent form. You and your birds are blessed and I wish they keep being blessed for however long they live.

Thank you for sharing this wonderfully informative bit of Cloud's life.

More than love - they trust you - good job.

I love the mastery you demonstrate in each aspect of falconry and husbandry. You demonstrate passion, commitment, discipline, patience, and skill in each video. The videos themselves are solid as well. You're a great communicator.

Such a beautiful bird.. i love watching all of them.. Thank you!

What Spectacular beings they truly are. You work with them as a friend/kindred spirit. It will be very enjoyable watching Cloud as he develops his skills.Thank you for sharing your work, life and Heart.

So good that you are back. I showed my class of autistic pupils Fable the other day, one lad was captivated and has been making bird nests.

Wow he's grown up so, so much. Watching him trying to work out was tense...I can't imagine how it was for you.

Thank you Amy, no end to you talents, enthusiasm and passion, you are amazing 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤❤❤

How exciting. All the best with Cloud’s training. This is a journey that I will be watching very closely. Yay!

can’t believe that’s the same mini fluffy chick !!!!!!! so glad that everything & everyone seems well settled in the new home. i love the music in this video too 💗

The monologue you gave while waiting for him to perch was beautiful

I used to hate bird ladies that pet and babble with their parrots until I watched this channel. This channel is completely science. Love it.

Just fantastic, Amy. I had to watch it twice. Maybe I'm biased because we were all lucky to be able to share Cloud's journey from the beginning, but I think it's very clear what a special bird he is.

Amazing how fast they mature n grow from a fuzz ball lolololol , awesome birds and you do a great job teaching so kids can learn and hopefully understand and respect these animals and the other ones in the wild Take Care FOLK 👌

Aww this is precious Amy, you do amazing work with your birds....Cloud is beautiful! .💜💜

Love from Canada. You are incredible. Everyone is so lucky to be able to see you work. Again you are amazing! I love watching birds. I am the crazy lady who stands under underpasses and talks to all the pigeons nesting. I saw them have a gathering around a dead bird that showed how they mourn their loses. I was humbled. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Brilliant video. There's so much to learn and I don't just mean Cloud.

In awe of your devotion to the task at hand 😁 but then I draw and paint birds and can understand how captivating our feathered friends are!

That was beautiful. I wish you and Cloud many years of happy friendship and collaboration.

Wonderful!!, I felt the emotional feeling as you were waiting for the beautiful hawk to settle in. It was so lovely as I waited also. Thank you again for sharing . You show so much love and compassion ❤ with your superb experience. 🦅

Falconry and crafting, interesting to learn you make the furniture yourself. I didn't know that. Thank you, again, for a lovely video

Beautiful birds, quite an anxious time I bet : )

Hi there, right now I'm writing these worlds from Germany. I am so totaly moved by your videos. I'm following every new one, also listening very carefully to your advices

I love your videos, for your beautiful animals and for your kind way of being and narrating. I always feel relaxed. Thank you and many greetings from Switzerland 😁👍

I am excited. I'm looking forward to watching and learning about this beautiful animal's progress.

Amazing! Respect. 👊🏻👌🏻

Your love for, and consideration for, these birds is so obvious.

Love the light through his feathers! Keep on keeping on

I have always been a Lions, Tigers and Bears type, thanks for teaching me something new.

Very interesting video. It's been a dry year around here, not as many hawks as I am used to watching. Looking forward to more as Cloud progresses.

Some people are SO AMAZING in this 🌎 world....You're a people 😉Thanks for letting us share your falconing adventures.

To quote fable “ wow”

Goshawks are amazing!! Thanks for sharing. Cameo boop boop by Fable also appreciated. The new digs are tops! Jealous! Haha 👍

So interesting. Please keep us posted and share ALL the videos and diary of his training and progress 💕

Great to see things working out well with your new place .. It looks all beautifully set up now! I didn't realise that you made all that 'furniture' from scratch like that .. so interesting to see! Goshawk looks amazing! All the best! Boop Boop Wow! To our friend ❗💖 🙈🙉🙊🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Stunning and incredibly fascinating! You are such a natural narrator - I am always captivated by your content and narrating, but the moment Cloud finally perched and the way you spoke of it just got me happily overwhelmed and brought a little tear to my eye... Well done to Cloud and you!

Cloud is a handsome chap. Now looking forward to seeing your partnership progress to free flying. I have a feeling he's going to be quite something to watch.

Wow..putting the two tethers with one hand...well done. What a beautiful bird. That was super interesting. Until the next video..take care ❤️ 🇨🇦

Thanks a lot!!! Much obliged and humbled!

Raptors are such magnificent creatures ❤️

Your definitely an inspiration its very clear how much you care about all the animals in your charge good for you! I love it when people do such a wonderful job caring for their animals 😍

Fascinating. Beautiful music too.

Fable: Boop! Boop! ("Mommy, why are you doing a video without me as the star?!") lol Seriously, fascinating video. Love learning things about falconry and various raptors. Beautiful.

Did i hear a faint "Boop Boop" in the background around 8:00 minutes? :)

Thank you for your efforts to share this moment. I recommend your channel as often as i can to those of all walks of life I know for the inspiration it brings and the calm it inspires in a world gone mad.

what a beauty he is : ) all of them indeed ... majestic creatures in my opinion :) ... looking forward for upcomming videos

Glad he is OK and content with his new part.

Hopefully it's not a silly question and I'm sure you do but, do you have to have insurance for your birds? Also, if a bird doesn't accept the change, do you keep them? Lovely to see this video too x
