A blue hood is used to cover the beak of the templars and all its different variations just remember when you play each other theres always someone playing all of you for their own goals 😂

Cool video, I know absolutely nothing about falconry but between the interesting topic, your clear delivery, solid production and nice choice in music (fell in love with the piano piece "The Quiet Creek" at the beginning of the vid!) this has been really enjoyable to watch, good job!

Top tips mate, I can not see why people don't use hoods across the species it makes life for us easier and less stressful for the birds... simples

@MercerFalconry Год назад

I’ve recently started training a bald eagle and I couldn’t even get him to stand on the glove without the hood, now he’s comfortable walking around and even jumping to the glove all because I started with a hood

Great video! Loved the thorough description leading up to it and an actual first time hooding so we can see a natural reaction. Im actually surprised you can even get it that close to her chest and face when first introduced. Is this because there is some level of trust? Also are you not afraid she will poke your eye out?

Very informative, my HH is made to the hood, i have used it a few times and its saved the day , tractors, whilst others Falcons about, and one when a lost HH turned up whilst out hunting, not one of mine by the way, I quickly hooded mine and through some chicks to it , trying to see if it was possible to catch on another occasion, it was to wild , if I didn't have my hood then my hawk wood just go and eat the chicks. Great video.

@MercerFalconry 3 года назад

Excellent, all perfect examples of why hooding is important! Thank you for that!!!

awsome video i just have question how long do u keep your bird hooded throughout the whole day ?

@MercerFalconry 2 года назад

Not long, only when needed, but I do have friends who have their birds sleep with the hood on all night

@beani5003 3 года назад

So glad I found your channel, I'm currently in the process of doing the Raptor Award and volunteering at my local centre until I get my first bird next breeding session. Any chance you could do a video on swing lures and the correct form for the throws?

@MercerFalconry 3 года назад

Excellent thank you very much, I’m also currently going through the raptor awards so that I can become an assessor and do training courses. I do have a lure swinging video planned but all of my falcons are moulting so I am waiting till they are flying again!

@beani5003 3 года назад

@@MercerFalconry well, I look forward to it whenever it gets made, and keep up the good work!!!

@MercerFalconry 3 года назад

Videos about manning, events, and some interviews will have to keep you going till I get the falcons trained!

@beani5003 3 года назад

@@MercerFalconry indeed they are, think ive watched all of them at least twice, cant learn to much before I take the plundge and get my first bird XD

@jameswych8030 2 года назад

Can you make a video on how to make a hood

@MercerFalconry 2 года назад

I don’t know how to make a hood and don’t really have the spare time to learn so that would be tricky!

Would a Harris hawk hood work for my changeable hawk eagle?

@suryadityga2018 2 года назад

Bagaimana cara saya mendapatkan hood ,, saya sangat membutuhkannya. Untuk elang CHE DM dari indonesia

@MamaProspector 2 года назад

Are the straps on the top only there to give you something to hold on to while putting on and taking off the hood?

@MercerFalconry 2 года назад

They are often decorative and some hoods have beautiful big feathers and such for decoration

@skuda111 2 года назад

I want to hood train my bird when I get it ,a Harris hawk, the bit that worries me is the bird trying to cast when the hoods on,

@MercerFalconry 2 года назад

A proper fitting hood will allow a hawk to cast

@skuda111 2 года назад

@@MercerFalconry thanx, there is so much advice out there that differs, I have various books on Harris hawks one swears by the hood the other says he never uses them with a Harris , some say make sure it has cast incase it chokes b4 fitting a hood , I think I will hood train mine as it seems a handy tool to have as well as a dark travel box and see how it goes , it may as well be hood trained even if you end up not needing it do you agree, great videos mate I love watching them 👍

Hallo MercerFalconary.I want to Buy a hood for my male Harrishawk and i don't know how to find out the right size? Can you help me?

@MercerFalconry 2 года назад

If you let the hood maker know what species the bird is, what sex it is, and what it weighs they should be able to send you a well fitting hood
