My Falconry Life | A Snow Day For Fable 

Alfi’s first words “boop boop”?😊 Fable didn’t seem as talkative as before? Very cute! Beautiful snow! We did miss you all!

That used to be the world's luckiest baby, now he's the world's luckiest toddler! FINE LOOKING BOY and obviously VERY BRIGHT! Good job Mom!

Just so you know, you and your birds are a bright spot in many peoples day. Thanks for sharing.

That's the way to bring kid's up loving and respecting animal's and people of course.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.

The footage of Fable flying across that beautiful land was the best thing I've seen all day! Thank you and love to all of you!

Hey Amy, you've been on my mind the last 10 days or so. the last salmon run of the year is on right now, so the bald eagles are really easy to spot along the river. i see them and offer up prayers for you and your family. your report was a blessing for me to receive this morning, such a lovely day. Merry Christmas to all and hugs to the little guy. ken

What a heart-warming update. I loved it all: the view, a glimpse into your life, Alfie, and of course, Fable. Glad everyone is doing well. Don't ever feel the need to apologize for prioritizing life before RU-vid 💙💙

I've been a friend of your channel for quite awhile, and gave a like to every video but I've never commented. Seeing Alfie here pushed me over the edge. I'm sure millions of people all over the world are like me and have been fascinated by falconry from childhood. Sadly very few of us will ever own, hunt or have the privilege of caring for these enchanting birds. So on behalf of all of us allow me to thank you, James, Alfie, and all your lovely animals for providing us the vicarious experience of what is to be a falconer. And please, the next time some numbscull criticizes your work think of us, the over a quarter of a million of your friends who love and admire you and what you do. Now off into the wild blue yonder !

American culture tend to vilify these birds but I have been attracted to them for a very long time for their intelligence, their mischievousness and now, as your videos about Fable show, their boundless affection. Thank you for sharing this extra ordinary bird as some Native Americans exalt as deities. Boop Boop and mu-ah!

1.) I'm so very glad you posted this video! 2.) I'm so very glad you took your time. "Quality life" comes before RU-vid. I'd rather see an interesting video sporadically than some "force fed" content. You're doing splendidly in striking that balance. Cheers & Merry Christmas!

Been feeding some wild crows for some weeks, and we recently had the first snowfall of the season. Let me tell you, they were NOT pleased with the icky white stuff! The peanuts, on the other hand, were greatly appreciated

Amy, I was so happy to see you post again! Even though your uploads are infrequent, thank you for sharing your life with us. It fills my heart with joy to have been educated on such wonderful creatures as birds of prey. There are a pair of ravens that just moved in where I live and watching them waddle around is my favorite thing in the world.

I love watching Fable do all of it! Flying, walking, booping, kissing and it all!

Seeing Fable fly so far off makes be anxious but like my little barn owl she never git too far from sight. It's been a while seeing Alfie has grown to a propper little man! 💖

Teaching your son to respect animals is awesome...Thank you

Good to see you posting again Amy! I can't believe that the little fellow is walking now! My how time flies by! So glad that Fable is still up to her normal antics around the farm. I wish you & your family a very Happy Holiday Season! Be well & stay safe! 👍👍💖💖🌲🌲🦅🦅

Hello from the southern United States! We missed seeing you guys and the amazing Fable. It's nice to hear the famous boop boops again! I can't imagine how busy you are trying to run a homestead, take care of a busy 1 year old and all of those beautiful birds. After a hectic week, it is such a joy to see Miss Fable!

The fact that you have a stream going through your land is so wonderful

My goodness, I hope all of you have warm shoes and warm 100%wool socks. May God Bless you all.

What a beautiful, magical and rich environment for Alfie to grow up in!!

When flying around the house means flying AROUND the house. 🥰

If this isn't true friendship, I don't know what is.

Yes looked like Fable was tired after that flying around such a pretty girl thanks for sharing.❤️😎🇺🇸

How lovely to see Fable flying free

Awww, what a gorgeous little boy and so lucky to have such a lovely place to live

I just finished reading a fantastic book called 'A Most Remarkable Creature' by Jonathan Meiburg, and I thought often of this channel while doing so. The book is filled with history, both human and natural, and describes the various species of caracara falcons in South America. They are not like the 'true' falcons in that they are social, curious omnivores; more like Fable than your other birds. There is so much fascinating detail and description. I just cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone who follows this channel, or for those who make it! And you and Alfie tossing rocks into the stream took me right back to doing the same with my young son 20 years ago! He's nearly done with engineering school now. Time truly does fly.

I love the dinosaur jacket 😄 And Fable is adorable as always. She reminds me of a cross between a cat and a toddler.

Alfie is so cute! Looking forward to watching him grow. I'm thinking Fable is going to start crowing like a rooster sometime soon. So good to see you again.

What a beautiful environment to bring up a child. ❤️

It's crazy that I have just reminded myself about your amazing channel and here is a new video after some time of absence. Cheers to you, your family and the birds!

Amy, James and Alfie and all the other members of this wonderful family, may you have a healthy, strong and prosperous 2023.

What a sweet video. Thank you for sharing your family and our dear Fable.

Lovely to see Alfi having lots of fun

Thank you so much for sharing your love of animals with all of us. My great great grandfather MacKinnon emigrated to the US in the 1800's. I did not realize Scotland got snow. Happy Christmas to you all. Boop-boop. Mmwah. 🤗

🤔Sweet Jesus!💖How time flies! 😯Didn't you just have that sweet baby💖?Awe! Nice!😊🙂👏👍😎

Must feel so good for the birds to get a fly in! Like stretching our legs.

Whilst I'm here for my 3rd viewing of Amy's clan, I'll say that's interesting & hunger inducing that Fable is getting Buffalo burgers for her cold weather grub! Mauli the black kitty wants some!

That’s just awesome. Thanks for the update. Fable is always fun and entertaining.

Thank you for the wonderful update on your full & fulfilling life in a beautiful place.

I want to see fable's reaction to a raven made of snow, next winter.

My reprieve from the post-modern world. Alfie is a lucky kid.

Good seeing you, Allie, Fable, Scout, and all the birds again. Congrats on your new home, city, and life. You are very blessed!

Watching this reminds me that im going to need to buy land. So wonderful

It is so good to see you again! I really have missed your posts. Since we last saw you, your baby has turned into a full-fledged toddler. Your new home is lovely and Fable is the most beautiful monochrome bird I've ever seen. I'm glad to hear that you intend to start posting again. You've been missed. Your posts make my day.

No kidding! That view is beautiful!! How lucky yall are....I'd be scared that fable would fly away and never return

Welcome back, thanks for making RU-vid a lower priority than your family and farm. People will get bent out of shape but those can be easily ignored.

I missed Fable! I take care of four opossum and and I say "boop boop" to them every night when they sniff my fingers. As a father of three, cherish every moment. Kids grow up so fast.

Hello Amy, what a treat to discover your new vid! So relieved everything is okay with you, Alfie & James & the birds. And new footage of Fable as well, thank you and have a wonderful holiday season

Love everything about you and Fable 👋🏼❤️

So lovely to see you all again. Looking forward to watching Alfie discover Spring and Summer in his glorious surroundings.

That's quite the serene and beautiful scene. Between this and your narration/voice its ASMRworthy.

My daughter and I have been watching your videos since she was born 16 months ago. We have chickens, finches, cockatiels, and a cat, but the smile my daughter gets on her face when she sees Fable is completely special. Being that my wife and I both work, we totally get how life gets BUSY and content has to be prioritized properly, which means it just needs to wait cuz everything else is more important. In addition to full time work, I used to stream at night, but I've had to chill on that for awhile to prioritize helping this kid at night with reading before bed and teething and all the thing that come with kiddos, and it's the most wonderful thing in the world. Glad to see you and your family are enjoying it, too! Wishing you the best and thank you for your work!

Your videos are a joy and Alfie makes them even more fun ! I have bonded with our local birds over the cold snap and they are getting very confident around me , even demanding second lunch ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Has Fable ever layed and Egg? LOVE watching you with her!!!

So glad to see you Amy, Alfi and Fable having fun in the snow! Can't wait to see some more videos. I love the outdoors, especially the winter. I lived in Sweden for a while and winter was and still is my favourite season in Europe, even though I live in Australia, now!

Love when fable fluffs up.

Thank you for posting! This was lovely! Happy to see Allie and Fable 😊

Thanks for your update. It's always wonderful to see how you and your family (including feathered) are doing. Stay safe, stay warm and stay happy

oh WOW - he's walking!!!!

I enjoy your videos. Alfie is soo cute. Love Fable. Boop boop

How did I miss this! Love seeing you guys so much!

This past winter, I thought about feeding the local birds consistently for the first time. I also bought a bird bath heater. The birds really do drink there.

What a wonderful gift you just gave your viewers! Certaintly a little slice of heaven with your beautiful child, Fable and amazing landscape. Thank you❤️

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing

Good to see fable n Alfie.. 😁☮️✌️

Your birds love your chick😊what a lucky boy!

So glad you posted another video. I know life is so busy.😊 Here is to a great 2023. You live in such a beautiful place. All be well.🌲

So lovely seeing all birds, beautiful scenery and lovely little boy. Luv from 🇬🇧

Precious and magical.

Never feel you have to justify putting your family or life in front of our entertainment. May your family thrive and thank you for what you decide to show us. It's a joy to see your joy.

Yay! We were so worried about you and your family, and birds…

I always forget how large Fable is compared to the wild ravens in my area. Lovely to see a video update from you as always 🙌

Wonderful to see you are doing well 😀 Love Fable and hope your interactions.

A big 'hello' to you, James, Alfie, Fable and everyone else! So nice to have this update and to know you're all OK. It DOES look cold up there, its bad enough here in London, but as you say it's completely worth it for the beauty of the countryside. Have a very happy Christmas everyone, if we don't see you before then. 🌟👍

So nice to see you back on RU-vid with Fable & dear little Alfie.

Thank you so much for sharing your family (feathered and non-feathered). I have really missed what you usually share with us, Alfie is so big now. I absolutely love your relationship with Fable.

I can't believe I didn't have notifications turned on for your channel! 6 days! Glad you're doing well and looks like you've got a good helper. Looking forward to Alfie and Fable playing together.

Thanks so much for the update!!! Love to you, your family, and bird family!!

I remember when you announced being preggers. I love seeing your kiddo growing up, thanks from an Elder.

Lovely to see your video just pop up!I can't wait until the little one starts to do a bit more talking as it would be great to see him interacting with Fable! 🥰🖤 Update: I wrote that comment before I watched the full video, I didn't realise I'd get to see a wee bit of them today,so soon! 🐾

Fable has gotten so big!

Beautiful...absolutely stunning, and heart warming. There's been so much avian flu this year. It must be a worry for you. Xxxx stay well. :)

Lol I read that wrong I thought it wrote " my felony life"! Then realized it was my favorite "falconry " channel. Xo

ravens are soooo beautiful

Good to see you back. Congratulations on your little one and your move.

Thanks for update. Merry Christmas Blessing for a safe Winter. 🙏

SUCH a nice visit!! I'm so glad to see you're all doing well and that Fable is enjoying the property! And what a lovely day to get some great footage! I wish you and the Fam a VERY Merry Christmas and a festive holiday season!! May your cranberry sauce have chunks of orange and walnuts, your toesies be warm and your hearts full of Joy!!

Very calming to watch. Thank you for posting. #birdsaresacred #joyousholidays

Thank you! What a beautiful video, stunning scenery, gorgeous birds and a fabulous helper. Truly joyous to watch, so kind of you to share it. Merry Christmas

What an amazing part of Scotland

So lovely coming back from holidays to see you have posted a vid. A big boop boop' to you all xox.

Just beautiful thank you 🙏

So glad to see you and Fable

So love your lovely family and dear Fable! Thank you for a beautiful moment of somewhere in the world, "it's ok...better than ok". Wish you all the best for the season and a healthy, happy New Year!

This is so idyllic! You're a fabulous mom to Alfie and he's a lucky little boy! And I love your devotion too your birds (and I really love Fable)!

Hi Amy, extremely belated Merry Christmas as I've only just been shown your film. Wow! Alfie has really grown. What a great life you have. Lovely to see Fable again 💝🤗

So happy to see that you are all doing well. I can’t believe how big your son is already! What a great helper he is😊. And as always, Fable is such a joy to see. Merry Christmas 🎄

Videos of various maintenance routines are interesting: cleaning, feeding, weighing, whatever, etc. Our family had three granddaughters this summer of 2022 so we know you are completely in love, invested and involved with Alfie.

Hi! Ravens are one of my favoritebirds, they are so clever!😊

Adorable birds and a lovely family! Have a great 2023!
