Second day on the creance, first day with the gopro. This is unedited to show all the little mistakes that I make and the challenges that come with falconry
Ему нравится дальний угол ворот 😅 Моя птица делает что то похожее.
Awesome 👌
Good training
I love kestrel
What meat are you using??
Er hat keine Hunger
Why my male kestrel doesn't have black dots in the chest?
I need a bird like this. I have many starlings, voles, mice and moles
I wish I have A American kestrel
Wonderful
Nice male
Que lindo
do you still your bird
lots of patience required...and more walking than a golfer ;-) And, golfers ain't got no Kestrel!
Hope you will make another video of this bird hunting when weather gets warmer.
I hope so as well, she caught only a handful of starlings before they migrated out and I didn't get good quality video. I'm gonna try and record with my phone and not the go pro this time. Should be a good spring though!
@@Hokiesnumber1 In the meantime, maybe if you have time show us what you do over the winter. Does she stay in mews housing or is she living in the house with you? What does she eat? Would love to see that!
Maaf bisa minta foto sarung tangan yang anda gunakan itu

These little guys are too cute
Stressful to watch. Is so much work and training and so much danger out in the free flying world.
Squirrels are extremely tough. Had no idea you can do that with a hawk. Is it dangerous to the hawk? OMG so cool would give anything to see that in person.
yea it can be dangerous for the bird, squirrel teeth are wicked. The bird learns fast to target the head
@@Hokiesnumber1 your videos are some of the best ones on CZcams for observing falconry. So educational!
Does she do this every day? Is this how she drinks? So cool.
It’s available to her all the time but she uses it about ever other day since she became fully hard pinned. I also have a water bottle with a small hole poked in the cap to give her water.
@@Hokiesnumber1 So now she had an adult molt and is bathing more. This is a very unique video, I love your CZcams stuff. Your bird just rocks.
@@coffeehugger Thanks she's great!
Yup, thumbs way up!
It's so unusual for any person especially a falconer, to show the process as it unfolds. Takes a lot of courage and I just love this video. Most people will only put out the finished bird or edit out challenges. That way of doing a video doesn't teach or educate anyone. Thanks for showing the 'how' not just the 'what'.
What treats are you using?
Did you catch yours or did you get yours from a breeder?
Trapped from the wild
@RahlDynasty did you get it as a chick? thanks!
@@Hokiesnumber1 Is this allowed??? I also question the ethics of doing that
Yo where part four at
No part 4, lost this bird due to a coopers hawk
F
@@Hokiesnumber1 Sorry, that hurts man.
Thank you for the video. How long is the line?
I'm not sure, it's coiled up but I let out a max of 100 ft
@@Hokiesnumber1 thank you for responding so quickly. would be happy about further videos of you and the little one, relly verry good job you did. best regards from germany =)
What is your dream bird to train and if you plan on training it in the future. Love you good video.
Right now I really want to fly Harris Hawks, and one day if I move out west I would like to fly a golden eagle. Goshawk could be fun too!
Yeah
How old are your kids and where do you live
@@oldjokesortuck7240 My kids range from 3 to 9 and we live in Maryland. What's your dream bird?
My dream bird is a peregrine falcon a goshawk or a golden eagle
Deets
Are you still hunting with deeds
No, I flew Deets for 1 year and we caught 40 starlings, let him go the following summer
Do you plan to get another kestrel in the future it is trapping season
I am only 12 in Texas you have to be 14 to train a bird I was wondering how much money is a sponsor
I plan to train kestrels if you have any tips
@@oldjokesortuck7240 I might get another Kestrel in the future but not at the moment. Sponsor's don't cost anything, just have to find one willing to take you on. There are alot of gear and facility-related expenses though. Barebones gear setup can run you 500 dollars (mostly a good scale, very important with kestrels). Look up the Texas hawking club and maybe go to a meet. I hope you plan on hunting the bird and not pet keeping (my biggest falconry pet peeve). Good luck!!
Loved the video!
After learning weight management for a Kestrel, the RT will be a piece of cake, and no need to call it a day when you see a Coop's coming!
What size diameter do you use for your creance?
Where do you get one?
Trap it
Fine raptor. I'm training a Eurasian Kestrel. He would have snatched those feeds and been off every time. You've clearly done the work, enjoy!
I trapped one yesterday and he is stubborn also but at least he is getting used to me holding him.
do you both still have them
@@yaz1517 Yes but I can't let him loose yet. Still has an instinct to snatch his food and make off with it. I think he's just a "special needs" falcon. Not giving up though.
No I can't see your meatbag swinging in the wind....but that was funny.
How much does a pair of these cost ? Would love to learn how to train them.
How long did it take you to get all the permits, registration and training before you were on your own?
falconry when you finally get a general or master falconer to teach you takes a minimum of 2 years from starting as an apprentice to then becoming a general falconer, prior to that 2 years it just depends on how slow the state is on approving your housing facility for the birds and how ever long it takes them to pass out licenses. i would guesstimate if the local government is fast about 6 months waiting for everything to get approved unless you mess up your housing for the animals.
Big male. My female kestrel is just starting to instant fly at ~100-105g.
What's he flying at? Gram-wise....
what are you feeding it???
What are you feeding him
This may seem like an odd question but I am hoping someone can solve a mystery. Why would a wild kestrel "cry" .. "call out" at night... all night .. but only when it is cold out. I have been listening to this same night calling behavior now for over a year. During that time I have determined through observation that there is about a 99.9% chance this is a kestrel. Here is the scenario.. When it is cold at night.. I can hear this plaintive cry.. over and over and over.. all night long.. Is it trying to keep warm? Is it just unhappy? ... I will say it is distressing ... I worry that this bird is cold. I know I will probably get ripped for my ignorance but I am trying to learn here.. Any help would be greatly appreciated... thank you in advance.
You need another gym badge haha
It appears his weight is high. The male kestrel is tiny and must be weighed often. I don't recommend placing his food on the ground in front of you. A female can catch birds that are larger than she herself. I recommend trying a first year female next season. good luck
Watch your videos they inspire me to do falconry with a kestrel thanks bro 😄😄😄😄👍👍👍👍
Can you release him to return the wild anyway you want or he is 'attached' to you?
leave the creance drag on the ground, otherwise you are going to end up with a pair of legs attached to the creance,minus the birds body,and by the way you need lessons,you are making so many mistakes it's unreal,your bird is not even on weight,if the bird don't come first time you stop the lesson,and you have no idea about weight control you should not be in possession of such a delicate bird ,take it from someone who has been a falconer for 32 years,you really will be doing the falconry world a favour and stop making these miss informed videos, I understand everyone has to start somewhere, at least get to know someone who knows what they are doing, for anyone watching this video please do not take what this guy is doing as falconry, to most people it will look as though he is doing well, but to a falconer it looks a completely different picture ,this guy literally hasn't a clue,he lost his last bird and still haven't bothered to learn where he is going wrong, I understand that he is either from the USA or Canada which requires him by law to have a mentor, which is unlikely if he is making all these mistakes,most of which are basic falconry practices ,I would love to meet his mentor if he has one ,because he is passing on bull shit,and in turn this fool is passing on his bull shit
You sir, are a dick! Typical falconer, think you know everything and have to prove it by ripping on a new falconer. And you probably wonder why no one listens to you. /boggle Ya, he may be doing something wrong, but if you think attacking him in this manner is going to make him listen to an old curmudgeon, you are wrong. Personally, your supposed 32 years of falconry haven't taught you a thing about dealing with a new falconer. Heaven help any apprentice you may find... It really isn't a matter of whether you are right or not, it's about how you impart your knowledge. If you can't figure out how to to do so without utterly insulting someone, then you are worthless. And no one will listen to you. Kinda sad, isn't it? And think about the falconry community. Continuing on without any benefit of your experience because you can't impart your knowledge without making everyone feel like they are beneath you. That's really a shame.. /bummer
Troll who thinks himself very important. We are all so impressed with your vast scope.
@@scotth5075 This is what people get if they have the courage to put the learning up on CZcams. Takes no courage to be typical sh*t talker.
You absolute clown
You are going to lose that bird,if he tries to fly away at any point pull him in don't reward him any more food,if he was not on a creance, you wouldn't slip him from your fist a second time would you if he flew off, because he's not going to be there,a bird on weight won't want to lose sight of you,you have to let him know he has done wrong,the only way to do this is not reward him, how many times have I watched the bird fly away and still you keep flying him to fist and rewarding him,so basically your more or less teaching him it's ok to fly off, one session on a creance and then you should be flying him free,I see your hesitant to stop using the creance
You are clearly not ready to fly a bird,the more l watch it the more I cringe,your making excuses about a breeze,this will actually help him,you need a mentor, this is why other people make mistakes by watching ill informed videos like this
Pukey guy like you should follow up on how it all went later on. You're so gross it's painful.
