- Part of my routine with all hawks is to condition them to allowing their feet to be held, opened and closed, inspected, etc., longer than the few seconds they typically permit. This is easily done and has benefits especially with small falcons, which need regular expecting for scale damage, jessing, mounting a transmitter, etc.
Always amazing my friend. Very good conditioning.
Very cool, thank you! I am thinking about trying my first kestrel this coming fall. I am really enjoying your videos.
Thanks for the informative demo.
The Kestrels I have had won't stand for that without biting. Do you have any techniques for dealing with biting?
Offering tidbits repeatedly can help.
