Lets fly an owl first person POV! Why we DON'T use anklets and jesses
lying and owl from my POV, whilst telling why we don't use anklets and jesses on our birds anymore.
Anklets and jesses have been used in falconry for 100's and 100's of years BUT just because its been done that way in tradition for many years doesn't mean there isnt a better and nicer way to look after and treat the animals under care to give them the best life possible.
When working with animals we should always strive to be better for them and find better ways to help them live more enriched, healthier lives.

    I wish this could be a reality though i think very specific requirements would need to be in place for this to actually work. My biggest concern would be something spooking the owl and they take off. Then again, a well manned bird wont go far and will stick around theit favourite human. So to an extent, it does work but for exceptional circumstances rather than the norms.

    Hi there! I love volunteering at various places so much, it's so much fun. But whenever I try to get into a big place like a zoo, even a small one that relies on volunteers, I call them and they tell me to email their volunteer program, and when I do that, they never respond. How do I get their attention well enough to actually take me into consideration and respond? Thank you!

      I explain multiple times throughout the video this is what WE do and why it works for US. I at no point say this if what every person should do. I encourage people to think differently and not just stick with the same old 'we have always done it that way' but i never state this is how everyone should be doing it because that would be irresponsible. You clearly haven't watched the whole video. Change is scary for people, but we should always be looking for improved better ways to provide our animals with more choice better welfare if our facilities and set ups allow it. Many zoological collections are moving to this way of care for birds of prey. However I would never advise a recreational falconer who owns a bird of prey at home to do this. I would have different advice which would be to seriously consider if you should own a bird of prey. I jabe worked with birds of prey for 15 years I have used traditional methods, and I have moved to this method, I have had far less issues since changing. (Which took 5 years to do wasn't an over night thing). Your comment clearly comes from a good place of not wanting people to lose there birds. But that's explicitly why I state multiple times this is why WE do it.

    your not using anklets or jes because you're playing with pets..basically having a parrot. falconry is the art of "hunting" with a bird of prey..we don't walk through a field or woods constantly throwing food down the birds throat..we're actually hunting. If a Falconer did that their bird would perch in a tree and never come down. stay in your lane
