My Hawk is ATTACKING Me! đ| Correcting Poor Behavior After Molt
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 22. 08. 2024
- Its is expected for birds training to regress during and after the molt. It is sometimes considered more difficult to train your bird after the molt for many reasons. In this episode I spend some time trying to correct some poor behaviors she has recently picked up.

Do more falcon vids
A couple tips I have learned in the few years in the hobby. The beak is normally trimmed by feeding on items with bones like legs that they don't swallow whole, but have to pick at. You can also feed frozen meat that will take some work to eat. To combat food association the bird needs to learn not necessarily that the meal comes from your fist, but rather they have a meal when they are around you. When the bird is like Carol in the molt I will have a short creance, carry them on the fist to several pre-placed chunks of meat in the yard that they have to be looking for. You can also vary it by occasionally throwing some meat that they have to chase.
Maxx for those of us that are into Raptors , nothing boring about it. Thank you for including us in the process
Just regular training videos of Carol would be great
Agreed
@@joewittstock You're an idiot. Maxx: keep doing your thing. Unlike other Falconers, Maxx is documenting the whole process of becoming a great falconer - no one starts out at anything being perfect. They work at it - and Maxx is showing that work.
@@pfd_mark_taylor This guy is no falconer, and is far away from being anything close to being "great". He posses a bird of prey to gain attention and subscribers. I have yet to see this guy, or his bird, catch any game. Falconry is defined as hunting game in its natural habitat by means of a trained raptor. After an entire year, this guy has yet to be defined as a falconer. Maxx is an apprentice, I am shocked his sponsor is allowing him to post all aspects of falconry EXCEPT the most important aspect. Hunting, catching and killing game. I would never allow my apprentice to do this, because of his lack of experience. My birds hunt, catch and kill game daily.
@@ben4x4 that's harsh, bro. May I suggest a calming chamomile tea? How about meditation or simply "hot yoga"?
PPG Mark Taylor Do you realize the harm he is doing to this bird? I donât care about max, I care about the damage done to the hawk. I will drink a natty just for u.
16:48 Out of all my time wasted looking for something to open bottles with, Max uses his ring like its nothing đ
Love the vids! Keep up the great content!
The most epic part of this vid (other than carol) was you opening a beer bottle with your ring. đ
Your training bites are HUGE. Try 1/3 of that size, no wonder she can only do few flights.
Thanks for the tip
Lori hey do you have any videos?
LOVE the Carol videos - you're a huge inspiration as a pre-apprentice! Thanks so much for sharing the whole story!
I'll keep posting đ thanks for watching.
You should throw a bell on her so you can here when she is coming to the glove before you're ready ;)
My dad opens beer the same way with his ring and itâs surprises me to see somebody else do it
Progress updates are always great. No need to always be SuPeR ePiC!
Great job Maxx. Its gotta be tough juggling Carol, work, kids, wife, etc. Much respect. Your videos are great, I dig your editing and videography skills. Thanks for sharingđ. -Mark
In about 3 days you're gonna really need a pallet. lol
Daniel Dauphin and some hay
You know that's the truth. I won't use something in 10 years so I'll toss it. Literally the next week I will need it. LMAO!
Please make a video of the Beak Coping with your sponsor. Thanks for keeping us updated with your teamwork progress.
Great video, I look forward to this years hunting season, Iâm sure the two of you will have things dialed in, and sheâll be ready to hunt! BOL
I like watching the training. I never really thought about falconry until I saw your capture video and I find the how to stuff very interesting.
Been watching your wonderful story. Don't worry about not being epic enough for every video, Max. Just having a redtail is epic!! Keep up the good work. Love the videos, regards to your family.
Really appreciate all the videos bro! Even if itâs repetitious, me personally I definitely do enjoy the progress videos! Thank you so much for all the content!
Iâve been interested in falconry for several years but never really took any steps to get into it, and your videos motivated me to reach out to my stateâs falconry organization and Iâll be attending their annual picnic on the 22nd. Iâm currently working to become a conservation officer (just waiting to hear back on my final interview), and actually found out that several of the members are retired conservation officers, too. Pretty cool, I have to say!
That's awesome man, I hope you enjoy falconry đ
I would watch a four hour video of just Carol flying back and forth. ALWAYS MORE CAROL.
Hahaha that's awesome.
I didn't sub because you are a falconer. I subbed because of Carol, she is an amazing bird, and I just love seeing her
It's going be kinda cool to see how much she's progressed in the next year. Right now she's like a rough around the edges teenager that's going through puberty. Another good video Maxx.
Can't wait for the next Hawk video!!
NJ Beach towns with boardwalks hired a company to walk up and down the boarwalk with a hawk to scare the seagulls away since they steal peoples food. They are paying the guy with the hawk $2100 a day for the entire summer, makes me want to get a hawk lol
2100 a day huh?
Donât let that baby that close to her while she is in a bitchy mood. She could grab him probably in the head and a bitchy hawk is reluctant to let go.
These videos never need to be super epic... I think a lot of us just love to see her, and enjoy seeing how you work with her.
I subbed because of Carol. Falconry has been a fascinating subject. Kind of like Carter the Mink Man. Using animals for different things. Keep up these kind of things. Also being around before, I can kind of see the bird behavior crosses certain species.
Agree! I only watch his Carol vids
This is why you dont feed on the glove. She already knows how and when to come to the fist. Over feeding on the glove will cause this. If shes at weight, go hunt. Over traing to the fist cal lead to a footy bird. Good job recognizing and only rewarding good behaviour. I do.enjoy watching your progress and youre not a dummy. Good job, go smash jacks!
14:58
Your food just fell, do you want that?
* Y e s*
Falconry was always something I wanted to get into but just never had the money or space.
It wasnât boring at all. Itâs fascinating to see her progression.
More Carol training videos! More slowmo shots of her landing with her wings open! She's absolutely gorgeous and I love the relationship you have with her. Keep it up!
It's not boring, keep doing the short videos, we love seeing carol
nope not boring at all to watch. Love seeing Carol
Hawks and owls have a habit of always wanting to be at the high point of the glove. Try holding your glove hand at a slightly upward angle. Carol will tend to move up towards the wrist/hand. If you hold at an even or downward angle she'll climb upwards and towards your forearm and talon you like she did. Even if you want her in a more comfortable position for you if you have her on the glove for a long period you can move your arm angle up or down to get her to a more convenient location on the glove. I used to do educational seminars and after a while your arm can get fatigued. Im sure you know all this but just in case ya didnt. :)
@9:36 you put your hand behind your back an she thought you got food lol
I caught that too. It was the same movement he gave her earlier in training. She was watching the movements in his body.
In the wild they'd wipe their beaks off on rocks and tree branches to clean off blood, fur and feathers which helps keep them shorter.
I'd love to see you practice hunting with a rabbit hide and a pulley system, get her in shape for hunting season!
Our 20 year old cat Chops suddenly became interested in the laptop to watch Carol this morning. We've never seen this behavior before, it was hilarious and had us crying. He was trying to sniff and paw at her.. too funny! Thanks Carol!!
Definitely not boring videos
Came for Carol, enjoyed the other videos, still stayed for Carol.
I'll always ask for more Carol videos
Don't know how I haven't found this yet. Amazing video! I hope to apprentice once my wife and I buy a property. Right now where we rent I'm not permitted by the property owner.
Great content & video edit as always. Thank you
I would say to keep up the weekly "boring" videos, because many love to use this as a way to learn by watching you learn. Education is experience, and watching your experience will help current and future apprentices.
Thanks for the feedback Kelly
So Max I watched your flim early this week, love the Carroll videos. Btw. Just had the coolest experience with a wild Redtail Hawk. Watched and filmed it eating an entire rat up close. As it finshed eating and cleaning itself off. Heard it's over bite and it continued to use the edge of red brick witch it feasted on to coppe its beak. Thanks for the knowledge
She's gorgeous. I love the trust you guys have built
Maxx, you have serious patience. I would have lost my cool sooo fast. And as Alisia and Sophia say below (or above) regular day-to-day vids are entertaining. Your barn cleaning, regular Carol training vids and so on. Enjoying them all.
Awesome video Max, my dad is a falconer and Iâm about to take the test. One time, when having Gryf (dads red tail) flying to the fist for a tidbit, he didnât secure the jesses upon her landing on his glove, it was about a nano second later that she bated right toward his face. He turned and luckily got a talon footed on his shoulder. But to this day, if I see a hawk on a fist without the jesses secured, it just makes me cringe man! So he now just brings her swivel with jesses and leash, around back of the fist and through the pinky and ring finger - that way itâs out of her way when eating, but still secured. Just a thought my man, you are of course a good piece further along with this lifestyle than I am. Please keep posting bro, always super informative.
Caio
Love all the videos man! Thank you. Your personality and the way you treat and interact with you family, while doing all the epic stuff you do is why I watch the channel. Keep up the good work man.
This is great stuff, Maxx. Keep it up!
Spent a lot of time trying to capture a Kestrel with my friend today. We had a female on the Bal-Charti several times... then out of nowhere an adult Red-tail swooped in. Totally unexpected and awesome.
Unfortunately nothing stuck... but it was a great day.
Thanks for your inspiration.
Maxx you can use a rabbit scule with meat for keeping her beak short.
Grts from the Netherlands
I found this channel b/c of Carol a long time ago. But I do enjoy the other content also. Most falconers are not good at cataloging and sharing the experience, but you've got the eye that a good CZcamsr has, who also happens to be into falconry, so its a good thing.
Also, have you found any game on your property that would be suitable for Carol, or are you going to have to drive somewhere else?
In the wild I think they find a stone or another hard surface and grind their beaks. You see similar beaviour with crows etc when they sit on powerlines you can see them sweeping their beaks over the wire or cable. Maybe you can get a saltstone or some kind of limestone and keep it in her cage. You will probably find something in an agricultural store.
She is so dark, Iâm so use to our light colored east coast red tails. Iâm excited to see more falconry videos. You inspired me to start making videos of my falconry adventures this season.
I'm fine watching you just run her.
Regular videos man!!! Give the people what we want haha
I wonder if in the wild they naturally cope their beaks by breaking bones of their prey to get to meat etc, basically wearing them that way?
What you're calling boring, is what I've been waiting to see more and more of. It's the day to day stuff that gives the true perspective of it (falconry).
I don't want you to think I'm preaching, I'm a 2nd year apprentice too, but feeding food with bones on a regular basis helped my red tail keep his beak under control. Plus provide some kind of casting on a regular basis. We're still mid 90's every day so I've got a couple weeks before I can pull my bird. Hope you have a good season.
Frozen rabbit heads are best...just make sure you supervise.
I love these video's! Even things you might think are boring are fascinating to me. We aren't allowed to do Falconry as far as I know here in South Australia so I love every video you do on Carol. You have a great channel on all you do. Loved the paragliding videos. I used to fly gliders and am finally getting back into that, nothing else like it for me. All the best from the Land Down Under!
Hey Iâm really interested in the fire department! Is there anyway you could make a day in the life of a fire fighter?
Yes I would love to see more training and the progress. I'm sure its very difficult to do this . Your doing a great job
Hi matey all the way from Scotland, i havent long started and my first is a peregrine falcon male age 5months passage.so i just got mine out for the first time.
I new nothing of it bar my love for all birds,terriers and lurchers i will join and stick with you on your adventure and learn from you .
Best regards
T r johnstone

This channel is the most American thing that I am subscribed to lol đ€Ł
All the Carol videos are good, no matter what. We are along for the journey, not just the destination of a rabbit in hand.
With carol content its almost like a for better or worse marriage kinda deal, She is a wild food driven predator! We get what she wants to give when she wants to give.. Its all epic though, I mean not many people can say they have a Hawk! I think most of us are all in!
I wanna see a video of you skinning the deer and feeding it to carol lol. But as far as other videos we want to see...just keep up what you've been doing. I like videos on you shooting, riding, opening gear, messing with the tacoma, and even fixing your barn lol.
Happy to see another Carol video. Just PLEASE be careful.
On a different note, watching your videos with her made me realize i want to do Falconry myself. I'm planning to start and hopefully actually do it after I finish college.
During your outro Carol was like damnit Max hold you arm still!! NVM IM OUT! Lol đ
I was literally thinking the same thing!
the casual wedding band bottle open was pretty rad dude! lol
this is not boring for us at all on the contrary,
Good to know!
bro you got such a great channel going wide variety of content keep it up man love it
Your channel and LiteBrite two of the better channels on CZcams excited to see the next videos. Keep up the good work Max!
Show us the good, bad, and ugly of falconry! We are really interested in seeing everything about that lifestyle.
Don't put your glove up if you haven't called her! Just let her fly right by.
Phil Barrett I might respectfully disagree. At least with parrots always being reactive and aware of your bird coming to you and them 100% being able to know you got them builds trust. Check out birdtricks on CZcams. But thatâs with parrots I donât know anything about hawks im not sure if itâs the same concept. None the less I find your comment interesting as it apples to dogs in packs. So I thumbed it up.
What a clever hawk!
Awesome videos Max and please keep them coming. I would love to see what equipment and gear you use with her as I'm just getting into falconry this year
The falconry is awesome, I like the barn, the truck and more. Its impossible for me to narrow my focus! Love your channel sir! I came over from the Lite Brite Channel....thanks!!
Itâs not boring!!!
Been watching you since you got Carol all your videos are great. Also, I see someone clipped from your video where you found the lost Huskey. I hope we see some more updates in Carol. I'm interested to see how it all works.
A wild hawk copes itâs beak by cleaning her catches, scraping the meat off bones with their beak, and that helps grind It down. We as Falconers tend feed them smaller chunks, or sometimes meat without bone, so they donât grind the beak down that way ..I as wondering what Carols flight weight is.. just trapped a new Red tail thatâs flying at 1345 grams...
I'm trying to convince my wife to let me get into falconry when we get back to the States.
@@Anon702Native bahahahahah!!! Awesome comment
@@Anon702Native hahahaha this is true
There is a fine line between a good and bad falconer...smaller tidbits. A lot smaller. You should be able to fly her for an hour. Switch up how you put a tidbit on the glove she is ready before you are and knows the routine...and play with her feet, touch them, lift them off the glove, dont get footed.
One thing is certain, Carol is a beautiful bird.
She sure is my friend. She sure is.
Not boring at all. Sheâs a beautiful hunter!
Love ur attitude dude and the Carol videos I subbed
I know you hated those pallets but you could have recycled them by building a compost corner. Usually pallets on 3 sides open front.
Hey man, I would definitely suggest coping her beak. It's looking a tad too long, and, perhaps, might be the reason why her lower beak is catching. Definitely check with your sponsor though. Love the videos. Looking forward to some successful hunts this season.
Agreed , ask your sponsor to teach you how to cope (trim) to solve that issue :)
For sure. I talked with my sponsor. Hes in Fubi till the end of the month unfourtunetly. He breeds and sells peregrines to the guys over there. He asked that I just clip the tip off for now and we will cope when he gets back
@@Maxx.Powell okay great best of luck this season
thats the coolest way ive ever seen someone open a beer
Videos are epic Iâm learning
Would like project updates
Wow carol is looking great đđ»
Hey Maxx. Great job bringing falconry to the public. Keep up the great work and good for you.
That fire kinda scared me as I was like will it touch to leaves catch the forest on fire he gets a lawsuit goes to jail and gets beat up and dies all because some bad wind
Excited to see her progress videos!
fly her on beef during training and cut into tiny pieces, like roughly 2 grams of beef. Save the chicks for when shes doing a longer flight for the first time or for her last flight of the day. You also shouldn't train her to jump off the glove by putting your hand down, you should opt for a throwing motion as it gives her a boost for flying and makes hunting way easier. Always make the food visible as they are then less likely to fly to your glove when there is no food on it.
A training video a week of her just flying and bonding would be just fine by me.
All the videos are worth a view keep it going my friend đ
Man that property and view! what a find with that place.
That large fire was scarily close to those trees lol
Just randomly found this channel. I've always been interested in falconry. Thanks for all the info,and sharing the awesome video on Carol.
Happy to have ya! Thanks for watching
