Pt.2 HOW TO TRAIN HARRIS HAWKS, collecting the bird 

gosh, he looks so alert and interested! all the best for you and Henry, long may you fly!

I took on my first hawk here in Portugal - a male Peruvian Harris - just over 10 weeks ago. Luckily, I'd been in contact with the Portuguese Falconry Association for a couple of years before, as our move there progressed. Their help & helpfulness has been as the hawk and I began OUR training. Tuning into this video has reassured me that, although we may be slow in our progress compared to some, we are at least headed in the right direction. Thanks 😊 PS : Oggy is not a screacher... (yet) 😅

I've been a falconer for 50 odd years and I've just learned something new!.....travelling sideways on....never gave that a thought!....which of course makes an awful lot of sense. Great video Dave....I'll watch with interest the others to come.

Henry is lovely! Great video! I love his "dog alarm". I think I will always find that charming, even though I love dogs. ❤

Brilliant Dave, what a beautiful hawk, looks rather calm with you, nice to see Henry home. Lovely stuff looking forward to seeing this new journey.

Proper wing man he will be Dave. He really does look beautiful.😊

"Biro"? lots o' folks will have no idea. ;-)

Welcome home Henry. He was well worth the wait ! Look at those talons 😎 Now it’s time for the fun part 😂 good luck Dave not that you going to need it

Thank's Dave,perfect series😍

Great video, good to see the new Harris hawk. Look forward to the next part 👍🏼

morning Dave! fabulous to get your new partner...

Well put together and good tips a reminders

Nicely done

Super glad you are doing the videos in real time and not a how to do gloss over.

Hi Dave, I always find your videos interesting. Coincidentally I picked up a male Harris hawk from 2023 4 days ago. He is quit a bit smaller then my first Harris also, this one weight 1lb and 7 oz and is fat as can be. I think the reason could be that a lot of people just pair up anny male with anny female so the genes have changed over a couple of generations . Hope to see your next video soon. You are planning to hunt with your Harris also?

Hi Dave that little chittering noise what Henry was doing at the end is that. Baby noise will be grow out of it or is that a normal noise over never heard a Harris hawk do that

20:55 How are falconers never afraid that a hawk might suddenly bite their face?
