Dear Ben, Your videos are of tremendous value to me, so thanks for taking the effort of making them. Where have you gained all your knowledge about them? (Simply awesome to learn that Horus was inspired by Lanner Falcons for example!). The book “Falconry and Hawking” by Phillip Glasier is under the Christmas tree as we speak, as I’m looking to get into falconry myself in the not so distant future. Would you recommend any other specific books? Thanks again for doing what you do, and have a wonderful end of 2019. Greetings from Belgium!
Victor-Emmanuel thank you so much! Western Sporting Carries some great books on line. I’d check through their stock. Let me think on what might be best. Their book on training red-tailed hawks is a great all around book to learn the basics for training any raptor species.
I'm sure that's a magnificent experience to witness a Peregrine scorch🔥 the skies with it's blistering speed and do what it was born to do. A Falconer can see that often and I'm sure it never gets old! Thanks for posting your vids.🎥 I enjoy and learn something new each time, from watching your vids.🎥 keep me coming!👍
Twice there you used the words of the PF diving at "hundreds of miles an hour". Although after the first time, you did explain it fairly well. I suggest it is guilding the lily to use that expression. It remains hard to know the actual figure but "hundreds of miles an hour" surely suggests more than 2, which is probably an exaggeration. I also wonder if people have used km measures and retained the same number, even though kms & miles are quite different.
My side of the mountain also got me interested in falconry, but I panning on joining the us air force, so I will have to wait at least 4 years of active duty and assuming I start at 17 I will be 21 before I can start falconry
Great informative video. As a long time lover of Falconry, I really enjoyed watching the video. Keep up the good work!! Would love to see a similar video done on Goshawks.
Wow, I'm very impressed by your knowledge of the Peregrine falcon. I learned a lot today! Thanks! I noticed when you showed the Lanner falcon in the 2nd clip, it was turning around to catch an insect!
Hi Ben, i loke your videos, they are very informative and the way you tell thing is entertaining, specially when you simulates what the bird may be thinking, is learning in a fun way. Please, can you make a video talking about falco tinnunculus? Their mentality, best training techniques, female vs male, hunt vs just lure training?, Can you? Please
Alfie Marsh a peregrine diving from a decent pitch has no problem taking a goose in the air. One of my favorite Peales peregrines consistently took Canadian geese from a pitch in northern Utah for the three years I hunted her.
