Ben, I can't thank you enough for sharing your amazing knowledge and experiences with these birds. You are a natural at presenting and make it very entertaining. My favorite youtube channel!

@bigdumbsucker 2 года назад

I would love to have you as a falconry mentor. You are stunning in your passion and ability to communicate complex notions effectively and amusing.

@emmuealhird5075 3 года назад

Thank you Mr. Woodruff for the info. I just discovered your channel today while looking at Hawks making kills. After watching some of your videos and others, I now think I want to try Falconry. I'm a veteran and saw the other Falconry videos by military veterans too. Now to research what my state requires and study the legalities. I look forward to learning more from your channel.

@GURWINDER_RAI 3 года назад

Thanks to Indian falconers who invented most of the traps which are widely used today. Love your videos, enjoy alot. Thank you Ben!

This is the 4th Winter that Merlins come roost just a mile form my house here in Kansas. The past two years it was 2 males and 2 females, the previous years had fluctuating numbers. The highest at once was 13, 11 another time.

@jantirpak7902 3 года назад

Hi Ben. Excellent video. I have experience with merlin that he is still sitting in the same place. He is there today and he will be there tomorrow as well. Also for another year, if he survives, he will be there.

Cool 😎 I hunt a pair of Merlin’s here in California on starlings thanks for the viewing time today

Why don't you keep adult Merlins?

@frigginchi Год назад

Ever try a sparrow harness? Tried it once using a cane pole stuck the sparrow out thevwindow fluttered and down came the Merlin, sky fishing😂

To trap an Arthur, you need a sword from a watery bint.

@pacodogtule 2 года назад

Good racer homing pigeons are faster in LEVEL flight (no fair stooping) than a peregrine. A Merlin is close to the same size and mass as a pigeon. Makes your point about merlins having the mass and muscle to fly fast through air.

@josephavalos7894 3 года назад

You are right I see most of the Merlin's I've seen in the inner city neighborhood I grew up in hanging out on top of the large power structures that run through the neighborhood. I believe I saw all 3 Merlin subspecies in San Antonio,TX this past fall-winter, I'm sure I saw Prairie, and Taiga, and I'm fairly certain I saw the Black Merlin suckleyi, do they migrate South to Central Texas?

@jackkrell4238 2 года назад

I believe you mean the richardson's and columbaris subspecies? Columbaris marlins have the second lightest plunge pigmentation and have a more tan plumage, richardson's coverts and primaries especially are much lighter and are more of a cream color, and suckleyi marlins are a charcoal Grey to black.

@pilocereus2 3 года назад

@MalekJ3105 3 года назад

Can you do a video about how to teach birds on waiting on

@brendannielson5292 3 года назад

@Imran nawaz waiting on is when the raptor soars above waiting for the falconer to flush prey

@brendannielson5292 3 года назад

@Imran nawaz while that could be part of the training, not the whole thing. They'd just wait for the lure, and not a flush. Using a baggie would be the way I do it.

@zakirkhan5085 3 года назад

@travis43 3 года назад

A House sparrow or European Starling, their are non native.

Falconry Trolls, Ben is not YOUR sponsor. Ben delivers relevant accurate information on this wonderful sport. Your sponsor will give the pertinent and essential info you need to accomplish your goals. Oh wait, you want Ben to show you everything so you can practice Falconry illegally and irresponsibly.😳

@Ptyasm 3 года назад

Hi, Ben. How can I contact with you. I have serious question on one-eyed diurnal raptors wether are they releasable or not. I’m from Thailand not in the US. May i email you or even better, chatting on facebook messenger.

@brushwolf 3 года назад

I had a one-eyed Redtail for several years, my second falconry bird. I caught her on November 21, 1999. Whatever caused the injury must have happened several weeks before. The eye was intact but she had some object penetrate it and you could see the path that the object took. J. Karger from San Antonio, Texas' Last Chance Forever had a look at her the day of her capture and found she was completely blind in that eye. She was making it on her own for the time being, who's to say if she would have made it through her first winter on her own. She caught 40+ jackrabbits and 2 cottontails that first year. I had her for seven seasons and she had a very successful career at catching Jackrabbits and coots. If you can give them a boost, a chance to figure out how to cope with the injury for at least a year, a one-eyed bird should do fine.

@jantirpak7902 3 года назад

Hi, I know a falconer who had a one-eyed goshawk female. She stopped seeing after overcoming WNV. She hunted jackrabits very well. The problem was that she was often frightened if someone appeared near her from the blind.

@Ptyasm 3 года назад

Hi, did she had problem of her part on the blind side hitting objects while flying?

@jantirpak7902 3 года назад

@@Ptyasm No, I've never seen it and my acquaintances didn't tell me she had a problem with it. Only if someone appeared on the blind side and then turned her head, she was startled when she saw him with a seeing eye. Because he was suddenly close in front of her.
