    Hello - thanks for getting in touch! We've had a word with Lloyd who just wants to reassure you that he inspects Tilly's feet very closely and very often - and that they have a weekly clean too. On the day of the shoot they were just a little dirty on the underside after she had a poo in her travel box on the way to the studio…

    As a falconer who is has the privilege to work with raptors, this again shows me how incredible these birds really are. Thanks for showing me the unseen. I especially enjoyed the close ups of the feet.

  • @earthunplugged
    @earthunplugged  Před 11 lety +2

    Tilly's feathers are incredibly stiff and strong, and tricky for a human to bend - which shows how much power she's producing in flight! A golden eagle does lose feathers through moulting though - they drop their primary feathers in sequence and then re-grow them. When that happens their flight is a little less efficient, but they aren't grounded.

    The wings of birds can be roughly divided into two types: soaring and flapping. The soaring birds, like eagles, condors, etc. have wings that end in finger-like feathers for lift. Flapping birds like falcons have wings that end in a point for more precise maneuvering.

    would be cool to have a large raptor fly thru some thin streams of some kind of smoke; to see how the air is effected by her wings, as long as it would bot be harmful to the bird.

    @earthunplugged  Před 11 lety +1

    We did some of our earlier shoots on white, but when we started filming birds we moved onto black as it gave us much more opportunity to work with lighting. We also wanted to get a shot of some of the birds, particularly top predators Tilly and Ellie (the goshawk), appearing in shot almost from nowhere… much as they might do if they were hunting their prey.

    And I think that was a really good decision. I loved the eagles expression and facial structure at the beginning of the video. When he was just head on staring into the camera. Gorgeous.

    it is impossible for things in nature not to look aesthetically pleasing. they are forever pleasing to the eye. literally. they could be pooping or in a weird position or dead for all i know and they would still look naturally good

  • @JaySmith91
    @JaySmith91 Před 11 lety

    Winglets, which you guys were referring to as saving fuel on airliners, act to reduce vortex drag which is formed as high pressure air underneath the wing curls around the wingtip to meet the low pressure air, dissipating energy as it forms pair of trailing vortices.

  • @sandere2511

  • @PYakMan1
    @PYakMan1 Před 9 lety +1

    Thx guys, great work. The bird does make a beautiful model though, so surely does deserve a lot of the praise too. Which is a testament to the owner/trainer.
    When the feathers ripple with airflow across them, I can almost see the air, and understand why this bird is supreme hunter. 180MPH+ in stoops, that's almost peregrine territory yet much larger. Golden Eagle 12-15lb hitting anything at that speed with huge claws that can crush with force of dog bite, blows me away. Like a sledgehammer with claws lol.
