  • Welcome to the Mercer Falconry CZcams Channel!
    After posting a short video to facebook, a lot of my friends said it would have been better with a voice over telling my falconry story. That wasn't the direction i wanted to take that video so instead, I made this one! My falconry story and why im making a youtube channel in 2020.
    In this video I give a brief overview of how i got started in working with birds of prey. Falconry is a huge part of my life and there is a lot more to the story than the contents of this video.
    This is just the first video of what will hopefully be a great channel about life keeping birds of prey, and all the other animals.
    The birds include two Owls, a Hawk, a Kite, and four falcons. As well as two chickens and two dogs!
    If you enjoy this video then please Subscribe to see videos that show off these amazing animals and what they do!

    Brilliant humble introduction into your life and a real inspiration , please keep the videos coming and I would love to see some more of all the birds but patsy would be great. Thank you for putting in the time to share your knowledge and the way you explain things is one of the best I've seen.

    That's a great introduction Dan. It feels like I know you already 😂 My voter's for Sway, for obvious reasons, but whichever video you put up next will be entertaining and informative, I'm sure

    Great video. I am hoping to apprentice here in the states next year so I spend all my free time watching falconry videos since COVID keeps us all locked in.

      Good luck! falconry is quite different to America here in the uk, be careful though, it quite easily takes over your entire life!!!
      There are some great books you can read to prepare as well as watching videos, and plenty of social media groups you can join that’s full of experienced people willing to help 😁

    Hey mate. A lot of your videos for some reason have music but you have been muted. I am not sure why but it sucks big time as the few videos were i can hear you have been really good. Hopefully you can figure this one out.
