Vultures may come across as disgusting, but they help clean up carrion.

Im in the us and id love to get into falconry, here in the us i have to apprentice for like 2 years or something, prove i have the land and all that. I think its so awesome. There is a sanctuary tour here and we are gonna do a tour.

I don’t believe that man it all is what you put into it how about them Arabs they keep their birds and all the time I mean, I know it’s not great for it but it’s better than being out in 100° weather trust me

Я из России. У меня тоже есть беркут. Хорошее видео. 👍

A couple days ago I found a nestling on my property, I see the hole it fell out of, no sign of the parents for 2 days now. I can’t just let it die, so tonight I brought it inside and fed it some crickets and potato bugs I caught. Tomoro imma go get it some frozen pinky mice. It got its wing feathers but the rest is still fuzzy, it can’t fly yet. I gotta try, if it lives I’ll let it go in my barn and it can live there and eat all the mice.

Can you do a sparrowhawk version?

I had to dig deep and finally decided that falconry wasn't for me. I'll just be happy to spot them and know what bird they are and y'all as well.

Hey man.. Thank you for all the information, great video. I have a few questions if you can help out.. I found a little spotted owl by the road with 2 crows attacking it.. I took it home, it's been one week now, she is loose in 2 rooms with a lot of branches set up in places, a big cat scratching tower house and tommorow she's getting (We're getting it in our house 😀) a big part of the tree that will help her for the next few weeks to feel comfy.. I feed her chicken meat and all sorts of liver/hearts for now (The cats can bring me a mouse or two later i guess) and my plan is to take care of her for about one month, when she'll be able to hunt for herselves, then let'er go free near my house (Build her a nesting spot on a big 25M Lime tree) and hope she finds apartner and has a normal Owl life. Is that to naive? She is supper comfetarble with me and my girlfriend during the day, she is pruning herself laying down when she falls asleep, she is steching her wings, and doesn't mind the touch (Looks like she needs it/enjoying it), loves to eat and poop, but at nightime she becomes another animal as you said.. She just wants to get out, she is supper stressed and depressed, she might hurt herself flying arrond.. She is sitting on the window ledge and just looks out with the sadness in her eyes. I have to wake up like 10 times a day, to help her and try to calm her down.. Yesterday i left the light on for half of the night to keep her calm, but she didnt like that in the morning.. Do you have any advice on, how could i return this Owl safely to the wild without leaving too much of a human impact? Will she be able to hunt her own food? The parrents are too far away from my home and i don't know what tree was she on.. Also didn't see any other owls in the area, was looking with the owl on my hand for 20min.. Only crows.. I also hear a lot of crows around my house, is that really a problem for an adoult Spotted owl (Maybe Barred owl)? She is supper gentle and i don't know how she would handle the Crows.. I could help her with the air rifle if i see her in trouble i guess.. Crows are smart, they'll know not to fuck with the owl after that, what do you think? 😀 Great video and much love from Slovenija.. 💚 Sorry for this barrage of questions, I/she need/s help 😅

Yep!!😊 Used to anticipate the excitement of finding a slow worm under some sun soaked corrugated iron. Weird when they detached their tales when mishandled though. ❤🇬🇧

Legles there brilliant there so funny i when thay bite because it don’t hurt and thay hold on for dear life 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👌🏻

I checked on Google and it is a lizard guys. I always thought they were snakes too, I used to find them in my allotment a lot

It’s a snake that is a baby didn’t you see it’s tung snippet at the air

It’s a snake

I remember catching them as a nipper

Their eyes ❤❤

what else do owls ear? I just rescued a barn owl here in Hawaii.

I've got a pair of these in my neighborhood that I think just found each other. I've heard one for a really long time but now I hear two calling between each other. One was sitting in the middle of the road a few nights ago, probably grabbing a frog. saw one of them on my roof early this morning and heard them calling to each other this morning and again this evening. (I'm from South Africa btw)

Really good video! Great information and you can tell you really care about people buying these birds on a whim. Beautiful birds but not something I’m ready for

This hawk looks like eagle and sounds like eagle

Rule Number 1: Don't get a Harris Hawk, if you haven't have an itchy cow.

Amazing, enthralling! Your enthusiasm is second to none

Enjoy Italy !

Noticed few people mounting GoPro to there eagles how they doing that no backpacks but how fiting GoPro to it

100% ❤

Hi Dave great advice, can I ask you what size is your free loft for your big birds eagles etc… looks top class Thanks again for the great clips

Hi thanks for the rundown! I was wondering who makes your Hatcher and forced air units please?

Would an 8ft x 6ft free loft be big enough?

Great video, although not too many people may understand 'diurnal raptor'. Very informative and educating.

So what I'm getting is that owls aren't nearly as smart as the 'wise old owl' stereotype?

Hi, any concerns for bullet jesses?

Volume is -18.7. That's really low. Most video editing software allows the creator to 'normalize the volume'. An area of 0 to -5 would be a lot better.

beautiful african owl

# 1 reason......A great start to raptor handling if you choose to move on to Falconry

They only live until three years old though 😥

Wirklich ein tolles Video. Die liebe zu den Vögeln ist ihnen anzusehen. Such ihr Sohn und dessen Freund sind mit viel Liebe bei der Falknerei. Ich werde deinen Kanal abonnieren. Vielen Dank

How long is gestation?

I went to a raptor camp when I was younger. 3 month program working with birds of prey at our local zoo and rehab facility. Gorgeous birds, so much respect. They're not good pets though... Not at all. Working birds is one thing, but not a pet. You want a pet bird there are so many beautiful fowl, parrots and poultry that make far better companions. If you love these birds on particular, ask your local zoo or rehabilitation program if you can volunteer. Most are happy to have another set of hands. You'll get plenty of hands on work.

Theyre gorgeous

Tip number 5, Be rich. Dont be a peasant, have lots of land rich in game. Be absolutely wedged

Should never be made pets- these are majestic wild animals- being reduced to living in our houses and cages is disgusting. Good to hear it being discouraged, but it should simply be a no deal. So sad- become a wildlife rescuer if you really want them in your life!!

Can an African spotted owl live happily with a barn owl?

How much and how often do you feed them

Lovely video and very informative, many thanks.

Mission accomplished

It’s about caring for that bird

Good Careguide But I disagree with your adult Setups. Should be way More Natural! And they do like to climb very much

Hi Dave, have you any videos of the first few days of getting a Harris hawk ? First stages of getting the bird used to it's new home etc

Those are yellowjackets... Research that

How do you contend with the Hares front claws? They self trim their rears but the front claws get large in captivity. There is no holding onto one of these critters when they dont want to be handled.

Informative.
