In this falconry video I join my friend John Griggs in the field for a training flight with his peregrine falcon. This peregrine is very young and is learning how to fly and hunt. I explain how John has been using a drone to teach his falcon to circle higher and build flight muscles. In todays training flight, john lets a racing pigeon loose under his falcon as a step in teaching her how to hunt and dive at prey. Peregrine falcons are the fastest animal in the world, but being able to utilize and control that speed to catch prey takes a lot of practice. This flight is one of many steps in that process.
I recently started a new facebook group to teach and promote falconry and connect falconers around the world. Please support this effort on this facebook page:

A good vid on the actual process of training a Peregrine Falcon to do what it was born and bred to do! Fly and Hunt!🦅 Thanks for posting! Long live the Art/Science and Lifestyle we know as Falconry! 🦅✌🕊

I really enjoyed watching the training process!! And would be interested in similar training videos. Thank you, Ben! 🥰 (what if you do not have access to a drone??)

Waiting to see more. I will training mine in Cambodia, too!

Excellent... I love seeing the practical application of your knowledge rather than just listening to a lecture. 👍👍

Great video! Love to see some more detailed videos on how you teach the birds to wait on

A very informative video Ben.your points and practical video is good keep going.

I would love to see more falcon training videos. Maybe from the beginning to all out hunting as a series?

Fantastic results for a first try! She looked like a real "pro"! Kind of tough on the pigeon... BTW, is the neck/spine severing an instinct, did she kill/disable the pigeon that way... such huge steps for a bird that hasn't been parent trained!

@FalconsLedge 11 месяцев назад

No, she did not kill via the neck. She tried to break in through the wing unfortunately. she hasn't got the neck thing down.

@lohikarhu734 9 месяцев назад

Thanks...everything takes time & practice, i guess..How is she doing, now?

@FalconsLedge 9 месяцев назад

@@lohikarhu734 she's doing pretty well. I had a hard time finding game. I got her on ducks yesterday, she still needs to go higher

@ricardovanleeuwen7675 11 месяцев назад

Can you also make a video about persuit flights for long wings

@FalconsLedge 11 месяцев назад

are you referring to pursuit after the stoop, or off the fist pursuit flights? JDAM (my peregrine) won't be doing off the fist pursuits, only waiting on flights, but I know Ben has done some pursuit off the fist flights in the past.

@ricardovanleeuwen7675 11 месяцев назад

@@FalconsLedgeI'm talking about off the fist flights or car hawk style crow hunting with falcons because that's what I do also. (wish I had the land and quarry for waiting on flights)

@DJohnson8132004 11 месяцев назад

Is it harder to train for air quarry compares to ground

@user-ux7js3tt8z 7 месяцев назад

You don’t mention you sealed the pigeon ! That’s fine but I suppose you can’t mention that in a video . Would be better to work on carrying before if that tiercel ends up with a dove or meadowlark it might take you awhile to get him back ! Only suggestion with 64 years experience. Sometimes better to have the basics down before flying quarry . Also I prefer training birds very early in the morning so they learn to power up without relying on thermals to gain altitude. Training young birds on homers is a good way to lose a bird in a long tail chase . Commons are slower with less stamina and somewhat easier to catch . I guess I’m old fashioned .but an experienced falconer doesn’t rely on artificial methods to train a falcon .. kites and balloons . Patience and proper technique is what makes a true falconer and game hawker .. Gimmicks are for amateurs .. Sorry only my opinion
