Boop Boop falcon hits with the confidence of a good trade.
You send out the video -> we hit with the confidence of a good trade :D
Boom! I love this comment :'D
Your birds are blessed to have someone so dedicated to their health and well-being. Cheers! xx
Your videos are an oasis of peace in a time of chaos and tumult.
That makes me very happy :)
You sucked me in with Fable, but your whole channel is fascinating! Thanks!
Right? Me too! I bought a Boop Boop shirt - my first YT purchase.
Oddly enough, my mother would work lures like this on me when I was a little kid. When it was time for supper, she'd throw out a hot dog tied to a string into the back yard and within minutes she'd lure me into the house where upon she would tell me to clean up and get to the dinner table. Thanks as always for the great videos!
Bwahahahahaaaaa! I almost choked on my ☕! So funny!!
Illumine Life lol 😆
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
👍😂🤣😝😂🤣
Lol
You state: “Whether you’re just starting to fly your first falcon or you’re wanting to practice before getting your first falcon…” Wait, since I don’t have a falcon, nor getting one, does that mean I can't watch these video’s??? 😉😉😉
I just enjoy watching birds of prey, oddly no desire to become a falconer. Like your video’s Miss Amy, because they are more than a documentary. BOOP BOOP!
Keep flying..😃😃😃
Same here. Love love love watching raptors!
Agreed! So interesting AND informative. 🦅❤️
Imagine how much wandering would be necessary to hear about and then to see this 8000 years ago.
Agree 100% on this!
Relatable
Trust between animals and humans, when it happens, is a beautiful thing❣️
Thank you for showing us the skill involved- greatly appreciated 🥰
Your channel is brilliant! Something so arcane & random becomes truly fascinating. Excellent delivery on your part.
Wow, thank you!
@@FalconryAndMe thank you falcon Lady! Cheer's from Philadelphia
Amy you are amazing!!! I believe you were a falconer in a past life. I so enjoy your videos!!! Boop Boop. x
wow... at 55 seconds, that looks like a scene from top gun. These birds are as majestic as they are beautiful. THANKS!!
You are so amazing at what you do and always bring some of the happiest tears in my eyes to know there are people as yourself that cares so much for the wonderful species you have. I truly hope the best for you and your business.
Thank you!
This has become my fav CZcams channel 👍
You ever watch something soo awesome and beautiful you just tear up?
Peregrine falcons are my all time favorite birds of prey along with my close neighbors the red tail hawks. I have never loved a channel as much as this one. Thank you so much.
Beautiful video, I love watching the lure technique done properly it is just poetry. When I first started for some reason I found it really difficult and then one day it went so well my mentor had a tear in his eye and I still remember his words "You'll do nicely" and he took me for a beer and I never looked back. Thanks for sharing Amy. Take care and stay safe. ❤️
You are a really great instruction video editor. I never plan to fly falcons, but that was fascinating to watch!
Thank you very much!
Thanks Amy , love your vids . Had no idea the subject would touch my heart the way it does . So beautiful their ability and your skill & care. That trickster Fable drew me in . boop boop !
You are so welcome!
Wow, watching this I can only imagine the adrenalin rush involved in knowing you are working with a wild animal as one. Just totally amazing. You are super Amy, just amazing :)
Honestly in that moment when you're dancing with the falcon it is so freeing. I love seeing what they choose to do, and the fact that they come back and want to do it all over again
@@FalconryAndMe I can imagine how beautiful it must be.... They are such majestic creatures, and to have the bond you have with them must be quite breath taking :) The reward for your dedication and commitment... Very precious Amy, just wonderful to watch. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. I truly am in awe :)
@@FalconryAndMe "Dancing with the falcon", now that's beautiful.
This really does seem like it will be a useful resource for people trying to learn.
I'm trying to imagine the connection you must feel with that bird when all has gone well and it is time to reward it, and to have that relationship with such a magnificent creature.
I click as soon as I got the notification
Thanks guys
🙋
Fascinating. I've never seen lures used with birds before. It's an art. Reminds me of my flyfishing a bit.
I loved it Amy.
Don't be surprised if you see me in a chicken suit moving at reasonable speed towards that lure
I can’t say enough about your channel! This is one of the most informative responsible and interesting channels on CZcams. I didn’t know I would find this subject so interesting. I love it and look forward to every video you put out. And I absolutely love my Fable coffee mug!! 💕
Aw thank you! Thank you very much for your support and glad you are continuing to enjoy the videos :)
Thanks a lot, Amy, for this "classic Falconry" Vid! It always amazes me, when truly Experts in their field show the learning process of certain skills. It looked so easy in the first part with the falcon, and only with your Explanation of the steps I realized, how much practise is really necessary. :) Thanks again, hope your doing well. ;)
I've had many people cry when a falcon flies at them for the first time. You can feel perfectly ready until it's time to do the real thing. The pressure can be massive if you don't learn to go with the flow!
I've been waiting a long time for a vid on lure training... made my day.
I'm so glad!
Fascinating info. Makes me see falconry in a new light. Thank-you
Glad you enjoyed it
That moment at 0:46 where the falcon is flying towards the camera ❤️ it’s a beautiful shot and perfectly shows why it’s such a fast bird.
Wow .. I think I’ve been taught more by you in two months than the last 30years of book reading ... truly fascinating ... thank you 👍🏻
Great job explaining things Amy. I’ve been a falconer for close to 40 years,....most of my life. I think it’s hard for folks outside of our community to fully grasp how playful a falcon can be and how much they enjoy chasing a lure(not all do,...but most) I’ve been focused on flying passage Merlin’s for the last 10 years.....and Merlin’s LOVE the lure! Keep doing a great job. You’re shining a positive light on our art. Best wishes, Bill.
Thank you Bill 😊 oh wow passage merlins...that's awesome!! Ive only flown two captive bred merlins. They have hearts of gold.
Wow that's quite a skill you have there! It is fascinating to see how involved the technique is and you explain the reasons wonderfully. Thankyou so much for posting. I learned something today!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, I'd only seen dragging lures before. Really interesting to see this type that is so similar to rope darts! Looking forward to the future episodes!
Wow are you good at not only falconry, but instructing as well. I especially like when you you showed what the incorrect method was, those visuals are important to those of us that learn visually. Please keep educating us Amy! Give Fable a Boop Boop from me! 😁❤️🦅🦉
This timely and educational video has helped me avoid yard work. THANKS SOOO MUCH.
Thank you Amy for taking us into your world, be it for ever such a few minutes. Apart from your expertise where it concerns your work as a falconer, the camera work is so impressive. I hope you know how great it is that through your eyes we get a small sense of what your days are like. I had no inkling of what it means to be a falconer. Living in The Netherlands I do not think I will ever get the chance to get close to this kind of work. Therefore I am grateful that you give us the opportunity to learn and understand about birds of prey. It also gives me the opportunity to understand more and better wild life preservation. Again, thank you!
Thank you 😊 I'm so glad to share my world with you all
Since I was a kid I had this idea of maybe becoming a falconer. Pretty sure that's not gonna happen anymore (and probably wouldn't be right for me) but now I live that interest through you. :3
Working with Owls and Kestrels as a kid was such an honour i did'nt fully appreciate at the time but these videos make me realise i would give everthing up tomorrow to do this everyday.
That's it. I am addicted
Your mace flail skills are finely honed, if you ever go into battle you will be victorious!✊
i really love how articulate you are, and how you always show what not to do as well as the correct technique. You must be an awesome sponsor.
Like a dance, rhythm and flow and you look so joyous doing it! Bird at the gym in the sky...
You have given me a really great appreciation of something that has broadened my life. Thank you for all you do.
This is the coolest channel cant get enough
Fascinating video! You are so skilled at every aspect of your craft! I’m amazed at the husbandry, care, training, dedication, and love that you have. Thank you for inviting us into your life. I can’t wait for the next video, and wonder how you are able to still produce these beautiful videos while your life is in such turmoil. Thank you again, Amy, from all of us who love what you do and who you are. Hoping you’re finding a few minutes a day for training Bryn (sp?) I just don’t see how you get it all accomplished but I am totally in awe of you. 👍❤️
I'm just focusing on sit and recall at the moment and a little retrieval every other day. I dont know how but I always seem to find just enough time. Although I've got no where else to be haha
Really really good advice, to be honest this was the part I struggled the most with my kestrel but practice makes perfect and comes eventually.
Exactly keep practising and you will get there! My early days of lure swinging were..hilarious :P
Early SQUAD... BOOP BOOP 😊. Hope ur well Amy, and ur beautiful falcons and owls xx
Boop boop to you too :D
Really enjoying this masterclass style video. Very informative, even for those who have just a passing interest in falconry.
Great educational video. Thank you very much . Looking forward to next part
I'm practicing along in my living room with a Lincoln Log attached to some twine 😄 Thank you for the various angles, the slow motion, and the repetition of the movements, this is super helpful.
Very informative and easy to follow, Amy! Over the last 43 years, I've seen many a bird injured or killed by bad technique whilst swinging and delivering the lure! Just about 2 weeks ago, a young lad who I taught to train and fly a Harris hawk killed his Lannerette. My health is not too good at the moment, so I couldn't teach him.I advised him to at least go on a short lure course. But he was adamant and confident enough to dive in head first! Unfortunately, he has paid the price for it! Once again, Amy, great video! Take care and best wishes.
Like others here, I got lured in by Fable. But having shot and edited educational videos myself, I think yours are really well done. Great videography and good audio, and you do a great job of explaining technical matters clearly.
Brilliantly shot and documentary like narration.👌🏼. I liked it a lot even though I don’t have any business flying falcons; its still a view inside the world of the birds and you, the falconer.
Yay!!!! I've been patiently waiting to see a video of you out like this with a bird!!!! = D The smile on my face won't go away as I watch. THANK YOU!!!
There will be plenty more on the way
@@FalconryAndMe That makes me very happy to hear = ) Thank you for all of your work.
Dancing with falcons ! beautiful!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm hoping to get a falcon after the passing of my old kestrel, and this video has helped me a great deal in getting the practice and skills needed to lure fly the bird. I love this video because you explain how to do it in stages, and unlike some other videos I've seen, how to throw the lure forwards and retract it for a pass.
Absolutely amazing. The thrill of seeing such an amazing bird coming in for an attack run must be incredible. Would have loved to be there with my camera!
Soooo.... is their desire to fly/ hunt greater than eating what's in your pocket? Cuz if it were me and I knew you had a butterfinger waiting I wouldn't go anywhere🤣 LOVE your videos! Living vicariously through you! TFS ❤
Honestly it can be very hard to get them away sometimes 😅
As I was watching I was think, nice , you got a camera person. But, no, you're all diy... amazing!
It's quite a challenge lol
@@FalconryAndMeThe quality of your editing has improved and I really like your new opening. Well done!
Had the opportunity to visit Dorset Falconry Center in the summer of 2019 and I was amazed by these incredible birds and the bond a falconer creates with them. My best friend has worked with Peregrines in Manitoba, Canada and Ive always been amazed by it. So much respect for the work you do for your birds.
Also for anyone into photography, you can get some incredible shots during a fly session!
Thank you so much for posting. I am not into falcons but I enjoy you channel immensely. I will make sure I come back. Hello from Saskatchewan Canada. We have falcons here but they are wild.
Amazing the speed of you and the perigrine. Brilliant.
Super interesting. I loved it. Fascinating to see. Thanks Amy
Ever be so impressed it brings tears to your eyes?
The falcons have made me very emotional many times. There is something magical about them. Afterall they've convinced me to devote my life to them...
@@FalconryAndMe yes in deed. I can tell. Lucky birds to have such a handler like you. Everything is about the birds. Very lovely to watch.
I always love seeing new videos from you 👍🏼. Hello from New Hampshire, U.S.A.
Amy, thank you for your wonderful videos! I enjoy them so much. You are so talented!
A fascinating and beautiful art. Thank you so much for sharing!
Fantastic to watch Thanks for sharing Yours friendly.....
Many thanks!
I had no idea such skill existed and was needed to be a falconer!
Very very interesting!
It is mesmerising to see you and to see the falcon fly and exercise with the lure.
I'm glad to find this channel. I was in the process of being mentored by a master falconer and unfortunately he passed away which halted my mission to become.... I will get back into it soon hopefully 🙏. Your video's are top notch and full of info THANKS
thank you for sharing and your dedication to your craft 🌻
WOW! That's amazing. I never knew there was so much involved in lure training. You and your bird really become a team. Also what a beautiful bird. Thank you for sharing.
wow ... just wow. Never knew how much skill goes into all this. I bow my head to you, milady
This is such a magical thing to watch!
I'm from Brasil, and absolutely delighted by your videos, you're amazing!!
This is a great way to swing the lure . Love it. I really liked how the video was so informative. Thanks
Thank you. Everyone has their own style but I enjoy the fluid nature of this way of swinging.
Very interesting video.......I love watching you and learning.
Wonderfulness, and Magical, I enjoyed this video !!!
Wonderful video, as usual. Thank you!!
Fantastic video and very helpful, thanks.
I do admire the outdoor life of a Falconer.
Such Beautiful Birds... Take Care Amy....and stay safe :-)) xx
Thank you! You too!
Amazing whomever figured all this out originally must have been a genius. What a beautiful craft.
Amazing skill your really passionate about your birds and they are so lucky to have such an amazing keeper. It takes dedication and skill to use a lore properly. The way you relate to the birds is amazing to watch . I've always been fascinated by birds of prey since I was a kid.
Thank you so much for insightful tutorial, Amy. Very interesting. Makes more sense than the falcon simply trying to catch a spinning lure.
Wow you just explained some I read and did not full understand, now that do I think I'll have to give it a try. No bird for me ......yet but something useful to learn. Thanks so much.
No worries :)
Great video as always! 👍
Such a good video. Thanks Amy x
This has answered many questions I asked on a slightly later video! Ignore that comment! Great instruction
Wow you make it look easy, though I'm sure it's not. It looks like practice is very necessary. Thank you for this insight into what's going on in detail.
Beautiful video!
This looks so interesting and a little hard. I can see why you say to practice so much.
This is absolutely fascinating!❤️
and here i thought you just swing it around like Crocodile Dundee. Nicely made video showing the technique and the explanation was clearly understood.
The little devil is quick and handsome as well .. Nice video..
I have no pet or bird , nor any connnection to the subject. I love your Videos anyway! Damn well made and very interresting!
Thank you for the lesson
Beautiful!
Amazing work keep it up
What a treat, so beautiful!
Kinda scary! Has your bird and lure ever crashed when you didn’t pull it fast enough? Can the bird be hurt? Does a crash happen often with newbies?
Beautifully presented, well disseminated information. You are a great educator! Loved it. Thank you.
Yes the bird can get hurt if the falconer does not pay attention. Falconry is essentially a very fast paced game of chess. Constantly having to think 5 or 6 steps ahead.
Falconry And Me Thanks for replying! Yes, like chess but at Peregrine speed. 😉! You’re brilliant at it!
This is so cool!
