Clear, concise information for anyone interested in falconry, Amy. Your depth of knowledge is obvious. Thank you for sharing it with us all.
You are so welcome!
2 vids in a week!? You're spoiling us. 😉
I'm on a roll 🤣
I know the hoods have a practical use, but I love how dorky and silly they look. I've even seen some falconers put googly eyes on the hood for comedic effect!
No bells n whistles from you Amy.
Just clear ,concise ,entertaining and knowledgeable information. So look forward to your posts. 🏆🙂
Thank you so much for the video. You explain things so well and make it interesting to know all these things about the birds and all what is needed in the falconry area.
I have binge watched most of your videos and there hasn't been a moment when watching that I have thought about stopping the video and go back. I will never become a falconer let alone get near any birds of prey but your videos give so much information and your love for your birds and for the trade is so infectious. Besides you show us the fantastic nature where you live and how your daily work with the birds are. Thank you for that! And you, yourself, are a beautiful young lady! I loved to watch little Alfie being with Mom out to work with the birds. He was so cute sitting in his harness watching everything and taking a nap when he needed it. He is a lucky boy! 🙂
Thank you for your kind words Lena. I'm glad you enjoy the videos so much. 😊
@@FalconryAndMe Fun thing, I actually once was close with a crow. I knew a lady who had taken a crow inside her apartment as a pet. I don't remember how, if she found it injured or something so she took it home to heal it but it sat on the top of the door to her living room. I was hired to have a weekend course in the town where she lived and she offered to me that I could stay with her the two nights. So I came and saw this relatively big black bird sitting on the top of the door and I rolled out my air mattress and my sleeping bag two meters away from it. It didn't move or anything but on Saturday night I offered to buy pizza for us all, the lady and her two teenage children and myself, and while we were eating the crow became interested so it flowed down to participate in the eating. I have had a phobia of birds, I could watch them but I couldn't touch them so when the crow landed on me I screamed. It then went over to the lady where she fed some of the pizza to it. Then it flew back to the top of the door. I don't know what to say about keeping a crow inside an apartment as a pet, I don't know if it was something one should do. I just accepted that this crow lived like this and I left it to the lady to decide about the ethics of it. It wasn't my concern, I just noticed all the poop that hang down on the door and thought that it was a lot to clean up daily.
Of my phobia of touching and holding birds, I haven't had the opportunity to work on it. I used to suffer from arachnophobia but lately I have started to become interested in tarantulas and now I find them beautiful and so interesting. I haven't tried, yet, to hold a tarantula but I am sure that I could if I was offered the opportunity. And now I have become interested in ravens so I'm sure I will be able to hold and touch a bird if I'm offered the opportunity. Working with a phobia to me starts with becoming interested in the animal that I have a phobia for and then watch videos and learn about them and then gradually overcome the phobia. Now I think I would have loved to try to hold that crow and caress it over the feathers. But its beak, it was big and scary... 😬
You are an excellent teacher and storyteller! As someone who has no idea of these things I laughed when I learned that these little bits and pieces are called "furniture" ... Thank you very much!🤗
During a 2 day course at The Hawk Conservancy in Andover back in the 80`s, I was taught to make a hood which I still have. I enjoyed it so much I went to a College in Bury St Edmonds to learn Saddlery, I still make handbags and belts for friends.... You never know where life will take you.... :-)))) xxx
Was curious about the stuff the birds wears and the training involved and this channel has been the best so far! The only one that tells me about the gear I can find actually
Thank you, Amy. You answered questions that I've had for a while.
It's so nice to catch up with you. Preparing new aviaries in a new part of the country, moving birds & households, not to mention your pregnancy & now a growing baby! What a busy busy season you & your little family have had. Hopefully now you are well settled for a long time. Which brings to mind the gorgeous countryside to train & hunt in! I pray God's blessings on you all. 🦅
Hi Amy, brilliant video as always I love your videos I'm new to folcanry I've only been around birds of preys for about 4 months and before that I had no experience with them whatsoever and have to say I was hooked from the very beginning they are incredible creatures xxx
We have an extended family of Harris hawks in our neighborhood in Arizona. We enjoy watching them go after the rabbits and pigeons and doves..they will take an occasional coot but do best with the introduced ring necked doves.
I am amazed as a newcomer to your site! You are a great teacher! Did you go to a falconry school or training or it this something you grew up with?
Beautiful landscape where you live! I am in the Midwest in the USA, live in a partially wooded area, and enjoy the variety of birds that come to my back yard, along with some deer, squirrels & other wildlife.
Thank you for these wonderful videos!
So interesting and educational! Things I know so little about!
These videos are great. I'm working with a raven couple at the moment. They don't like visitors or any of the staff, just me haha. I learned a lot by watching you handle Fable.
Today i got offered to pick up falconry for shows and hunting. Very excited about that. Already picked out my boi. He's still a ball of fluff and i can hardly wait!
this channel is a goldmine. Thanks!
Top notch instruction! Love these vids that get into the nitty-gritty stuff that you never see elsewhere. I'm hoping for vids on coping, imping, how you get the anklets on and such one day. Keep boopin', Amy!
Thank you! I plan to do all your suggestions at some point. Anklets is next on my list. I'm going to try and do a deep dive on each part of the equipment with info on fitting etc.
If anyone could invoke an interest in Falconry it’s got to be you. Another fabulous video
I've watched your channel for some time. Always enjoy it. Today,
You ware great. I learned so much.
Always a pleasure to watch and listen to this wise & clever lady!
You have such interesting work, I just enjoy seeing the facets of what you do.
You're a good teacher. Having trouble getting the anklets on my pterodactyl.
Great vid covering the basics of the symbiotic relationship we have with birds of prey. Thanks, mate!
Thank you for this video and your channel in general: I am in a process of research for my new book, and this is absolutely perfect! Thanks!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Amy, I just subscribed to your channel, I’m don’t know much about birds especially Ravens, I love your Fable, she’s beautiful. Yous are amazing with your 🦅
I'm glad you're enjoying you're family ;)
As you were describing the swivels, a little jingle popped into my head;
"Never gonna have, a bird of prey
but here I am, anyway.
Gonna watch the video, all the way through
I'll probably never need this, doodle do-do"
Booop Booop Great info! I like kangaroo leather but it’s seam to jump around a lot. 😂Keep up the great content. ✨✅✨Your Awesome!
Thank you so much Amy! As someone looking into falconry and being a visual learner this is so helpful! The super long books are really a struggle but this helped so much
Very interesting video Amy. I always enjoy learning something new about Falconry. Thanks you & I hope that all of you are doing well. Looking forward to your next video! 👍😉🦅
'What's that bird wearing' i made that comment in Tesco's the other day, (i'm of a certain age and not PC) great video.
Wow, you certainly packed a whole lot of info into this video--thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and love of falconry with us.
Thanks again from Canada.
Lovely and informative!
Great post my dear Amy. 😇
I love to see all the different equipment, amazing to think how long this set up has been used in slightly different ways , I do enjoy making my own but how fortunate we are to be able to purchase great quality equipment.
I have been making bells from sheet brass, copper, and stainless , although I was pleased with some of them , it’s not easy to get a lovely tone .
Lovely film on equipment thanks for sharing, top quality experienced knowledge.
Boop Boop ! Thank you so much for explaining these things. I agree with the commentor that said you were spoiling us. I love you videos. ATB from the southern U.S. Say hi to Fable for me. Boop Boop !!
Where do you live it's beautiful. I wish I could walk outside and have your view and freedom . Amazing
Love your channel! Thank you.
Absolutely love watching your videoa Amy thank you
Very clear, thanks
I like a lot the way you speak, very clearly, I’m Italian and English is my 2nd language, with you I perfectly understand all. I have a question? What ravens eat when are just born and when are in adult age like your Fable? How often they eat? Thanks and congratulations 👏 👏👏👏
Love the videos and your passion and knowledge regarding birds and Falconry. Very easy to understand and follow. You mentioned with the exception of owls, you will use bells on most of your birds. Unless I missed it, is this because of how owls themselves hunt or a different reason or purpose?
Great video, thanks!!! Boop, boop!!!
Great vid Amy. Very interesting. Thanks for doing it.
Great very informative
Obrigado Amy por mais esse vídeo!
Thank you Amy, this was really informative. I learnt a lot from this.
Glad it was helpful! :)
Thanks
Good job explaining, everything you said was spot-on. 👍
Thank you 😊
Thank you
Thanks for the great class!
That was very interesting and informative. Hope your getting on alright with your human baby and new home love your videos When you can manage x Luv from UK 🇬🇧
Thank you. Very informative.
Very nice
Very kool video 🦅🦉❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very important information 👍
Thank you !!!!!!!
You're welcome!
Amy, I’m pretty sure I’d watch you read the telephone book 📖 if they were still around! You know I’ve been a fan since very early on, then you moved twice I think, pregnant announcement, then the reveal of Alfie, and always time with *boop boop* Fable!
I love to see you working the birds…it’s so awe striking to see nature and man/woman working together with dogs who are using their inbreed natural talents! I don’t understand how ppl aren’t gobsmacked at how nature has given animals, insects, even man a set of talents that nurture placed in the DNA 🧬 in every living creature?! Even ants have a graveyard for their fallen comrades! Mother Nature is as close to perfection as anything is!
Amy, THANK YOU for sharing your talent and the birds talents with us…I wish your videos were longer, and I’d love to see more birds working.
I do have a question: When Peregrines “stoop” is it for fun or for a kill, or both?!
Sending Gratitude, and God’s Blessing’s to you for sharing the birds, the dogs, your knowledge and talent and how you all work together, and, especially for sharing your family with us…I think Alfie needs a new sibling to play with!! 😜 With much admiration, affection and delight, Jan Burton Marino 🇺🇸
Hahah thank you for all your support :) I keep trying to make as many as I get time for but I think there's never enough hours in the day.
RE your question, usually the stoop is reserved for the hunt, but they sometimes play stoop at other peregrines or if they are on the wind. We call it a false stoop sometimes. They also stoop when they have juveniles they are trying to teach to hunt, often throwing out food for their young to match mid air. Hope that helps :)

Such a great video. I think you are amazing at what you do and the fact you share your knowledge and experience.
Would be good to know if you're going to be offering experience days/week for people. I'd cheerfully sign up myself and partner.
Ahh I did this for quite a few years and have retired from it for now with having a baby. However who knows, I may return to it one day. I will be doing a flying demo at the International Centre for Birds of Prey's Falconry Fair this year though in May. If you've not been the centre is well worth a visit :)
@@FalconryAndMe the young sir definitely comes first! He needs your attention more than we need experience days :)
If you decide to go back to it, be sure to let me know! I'll be there with a brush in hand ready to scrub some enclosures! I prefer the husbandry of animal keeping. I'm far too soft for the training/handling aspect of animals who need a firmer hand lol.
I'll look into the Falconary Fair though. Thanks for the tip :)
Everything but the hood makes good sense to me. Birds must think totally differently than I do because if someone put something on my head and made me unable to see I'd freak out even if I had been perfectly fine before. I dont see how that minimizes stress.
We would like to know more about you. Your husband? Love your videos and greetings from the United States.
Nice
Great Video Amy very clear and informative I enjoyed your videos from the bird festival and I saw 3 hawks today (red tailed red-shouldered and coopers) I even found that a bald eagle likes to perch in a a tree down the street from my house. Do you make your own hoods and could you do a video of your new mews or are they similar to the ones you should in another video keep the videos coming
Thanks Jake, really glad you enjoyed the festival too :) Keep your eyes peeled...there's loads of cool raptor for you to see. I've made a couple of hoods, but I'm not very good! I prefer to pay those who can do it beautifully.
@@FalconryAndMe a couple of week ago I got to see a young red shouldered hawk hunt it didn’t catch anything though For whatever reason I see more stuff near my house the when I go an hour away to try a see one
Great 🦅
I noticed today at the start of your video that you say "he" when referring to a falconer, is there a reason for this? I think you're a fantastic example of a woman in falconry, perhaps it's time to say "she" 😍 great video as always, love your channel!
👍
👍👍
Would you recommend a type of leather for anklets ? ( American ) I heard squirrel is very soft and deer hide can be soft but sturdy
Can't agree more with having multiples of things. The number of mews jess I've lost in a field over the years is embarassingly large!
With removable bells have you ever used Bullets to attach them? I used to have a bell on a bewit but my bird's quarters aren't in the countryside any more and the neighbours probably wouldn't appreciate the noise from the aviary. I never really got on with tail mounts though; I find them really fiddly and although easy to get stuff on them, almost impossible to get off again and I don't want to risk pulled feathers.
Hi whats the best para cord to make jesses or leases ???
Hey amy, it would mean a lot to me if you would reply to my question!
There's this juvenile brahminy kite that comes to my backyard for over a month now. I think it's a juvenile because I've read that juvenile brahminy kites are darker and develop that white colour around their neck only when they are adult. I've formed a nice relationship with the kite and it comes for food to my backyard every single day. It even takes food from my hand. However it doesn't really like me touching it. So my question is, is it okay if I set up anklets and jesses on to it's feet forcily and provide it with a proper housing? Im just worried if I do so its gonna be aggressive and lose its trust on me. Is a bird of prey okay to be done that way especially when it's just straight out from the wild? Thanks. ❤️
Boop boop!
Comment for the algorithm
How do you keep wild hawks or wild birds of prey away from your bird of prey? Especially when hunting.
Ok so I have a question how would you transport a bird that doesn't like the vibrations of the vehicle
Hoodwinked and Fed up are terms from falconry x
Is the Telemetry like GPS trackers for Falconry. If they take off when flying, this would make it easiest to find them.
GPS isn't compact and light enough (yet?)for the typical bird of prey. What she's showing is a radio transmitter, that allows the receiver to "home in" on the transmitter using Radio Direction Finding (RDF).
@@blindleader42 thanks. They make those small GPS tags that are injectable. There must be a way to make them smaller enough to use? The Injectable GPS chips are like a small bar. Less than 1/8th of an inch across, and 1/2 an inch in length.
When u gonna post another video
👍👍👍👍👍👍😍💋💕💕💕
