Cast.
When one word does all the heavy lifting.
🙈🤣 yes!
It's both a verb and a noun even in the same definition
Hi Amy, I’m really enjoying learning about falconry from your channel and though I doubt I will ever cast a bird from my hand I am fascinated by what I am learning. I have a request for you; in some future video could you discuss the differences between falcons and hawks? The physiological differences, how and what they hunt, differences in training them. Thanks and keep up the great content.
Falconers spend an awful lot of time educating finger pointing animal lovers on why falconry is so important....So this is my blunt explanation I give to those who claim we are horrible people for practicing falconry.
Although it's considered a sport, it's actually an extremely demanding lifestyle and a sport second. It takes months/years of preparation, tests, licensing, construction, money, equipment, inspections by government officials and the supervision under a master falconer for 2 years (in the US.) There are strict rules set in place that must be followed and penalties by law if they are broken... Because humans always seem to take things just a bit too far, here in the US we have the Migratory Bird Treaty Act... So you see we aren't plucking feathers and wearing them.
The "sport" part of it is the actual hunting of the prey... The raptor is doing what it does in the wild... hunting it's meal, but with its human companion. It's not hunting alone, weak and freezing to death from starvation, unable to feed its young, wounded and dying ...Unless a raptor has special needs, many falconers in the US release the healthy adult back into the wild where it now has a much better chance of survival.
So while you're out enjoying wildlife and you see a raptor flying strong and healthy, it very well could be thriving because it grew up under the safety of a falconers wing. 😂 If anything, you should be thanking falconers for their time, passion and the incredible dedication they have for the well-being of these magnificent creatures ... Falconers have too much respect for these birds to be treated with such little respect from "animal lovers." They do not deserve the bashing they receive from some people.
Thank you for sharing your videos with us. I hope more people develop an interest in falconry and if unable to practice, support those who chose this as a way of life.
I'm a falconer from Central Europe. In our country, nature conservationists spread a negative opinion among the general public.
McKay and Starling Are falcons endangered? This is only my second video on Falcons so forgive my ignorance.
If anything my problem wouldn't be with keeping raptors as long as they can fly freely regularly and are cared for well, but with letting them kill without need. I don't know if captive raptors always kill their prey, but they at least hurt it or frighten a lot.
If they're really gonna be released, then of course they have to be able to hunt, but I in general dislike it when people who hunt enjoy the killing part. I guess indirect hunting counts as well. Hunting is important to regulate out-of-whack ecosystems, but actually enjoying the killing is... really strange to put it mildly.
Question. Why are those bigger birds tethered? Suppose that you would not do that, what would happen? Would the bird be impulsive and fly after anything it sees, possibly getting itself in trouble because it is not familiar with the environment outside the place where it is held? Would they overeat by also catching animals in the wild? Would they leave and die because they don't know how to survive in the wild? I have only recently been following it. I can see that she is taking proper care of the birds and she likes animals in general but I don't know much about what she does other than what she has shown.
I am one of those "animal lovers" but I don't judge or at least try not to judge without knowing enough about it and I have no difficulty with predators hunting prey in nature. Though I feel sorry for both prey (getting bitten and torn apart) and predators (having hunger regularly when there is not enough prey) I can understand that it might be beneficial for both species (natural selection) and I can see that 'releasing' a captive animal into the wild is barbaric and vice versa (getting a streetcat off the street). What matters to me is that the animals are happy and healthy, if those birds are happy while begin captive birds then I am fine with it.
By the way, I wouldn't consider what she does hunting, it is more part of taking care of the birds. I don't like the posh type of hunter, that "we are rich and bored so we are going to hunt with guns". That is not hunting, it is not sport. Go hunt a tiger with a knife while you are by foot and I will call it a sport. Animals hunting because it is their nature, a completely different story, that is nature being nature.
@@mindyvaughn8217 We have a few species of falcons in the Netherlands in the wild (no idea how many captive falcons we have). Birds seem to be doing quite well thanks to having enough worms in the soil, I see a lot of birds everywhere, cute sparrows, fish-eating birds and occasionally hunting-birds like falcons.
I've become addicted to your videos since watching the Fable one. Can you do a video recommending centres to go see falcons?
Also: is it time for falconry to find some words other than "cast?"
Hahah my thoughts exactly!
Here are some suggestions:
Released the winged beast !
Unleash the beaked destruction !
Fly the feathery tank !
etc.....:)

I love watching birds bathe and preen. It's so relaxing for me. Fable was really enjoying that bath.
Good Morning Amy! I can't tell you how much your videos warm my heart and makes me smile big, especially with all the craziness happening in the world right now. I love nature and animals - all kinds, however I live in New York so nature ia not close by unless you go upstate. And thats not possible nor easy now. I want to thank you for sharing your world with us and your very cool featherd friends!! 😊😊 Kisses to Fable!! Boop Boop -Love that!!
I don't know how you'd locate (maybe check local audobon info) but NYC has a bunch of hawks that are nesting on top of buildings. There's at least a few being recorded on TH-cam. Hope it helps :)
Boop boop! - When a corvid has a cunning plan.
🤣
Wow 😊
It's so interesting seeing the things that my budgie does that raptors also do!
Thanks for explaining the terms . Fine looking birds. Can't wait for more.
I could watch this all day and twice on Sunday. What I'm noticing most is the relationships. Falconry seems to be so much about finding a common language with the raptors to communicate and bond while you meet each other's needs.
Informative and I like how the word was used in a sentence. Practical and thank you!
Cast 5. "She's cast her hood" ie thrown her hood off. Great videos Amy, well made, clear and informative!
I love your channel so much! its so cool to learn about these amazing birds 😍
To Cast: no not that one - to cast: no, the other one - to cast: doh no - to cast: that's the one !
What an excellently produced video...quite professional i must say!!!
Awsome. Love the birds 👍
Amazing footage! Thank you for sharing your great knowledge with us and for everything you‘re doing for these birds. If there‘s anything good to the current crisis then that it’s probably responsible for the algorithm to suggest your channel to a broader audience. I‘m glad it found you =) Stay safe and healthy!
Greetings from Germany
Your channel is so interesting, I'm so glad I found it.😊
Great information Amy, loved seeing the birds 'bathing'...super cute 😉💜
I love this series even tho I will never become a falconer. Very cool to learn about fhem
I greatly enjoy your videos, especially with Fable 😊
Boop Boop Mwaaah!! Good stuff!! Thank you!! Stay Healthy & Safe!!
Thank you.
Wonderful stuff.
Cast is a verb! I really like that word :) and really enjoying your flock too. Thankyou ❤NZ
Wow your channel is getting so big sooo fast! Congratulations. Great content, entertaining and informative.
Wonderful!
So very interesting!
Great Clip. Makes me wonder if the term "Fed UP" in common use originates from Falconry. Great work Amy
Our local zoo now has a harris hawk. Not a fan of zoos but the hawk will give me a reason to go to the zoo.
Thank you for the video, it’s very informative! Although I missed your voice but I understand that videos with you in them probably take longer to make.
Amazing really. thank you.
Hi Amy, thank you so much for your videos, they're delightful and I look forward to seeing new content appear on a regular basis.
I practice amateur wildlife photography and raptors are a favorite subject of mine. I do my absolute best to practice ethical, safe photography and interpreting behavior is a very important part of trying to achieve that goal. I have often heard that rousing is a sign that a bird is relaxed and content in the presence of a falconer, but I would like to know if the same is applicable in the wild. I have observed the practice - at a very safe distance - several times and have interpreted the behavior to mean that I am not stressing my subject. Do you believe that interpretation is accurate in the wild?
From now on, if someone raises an eyebrow at my third gin and tonic, I'll just say I'm bowsing.
Thank you! Great video!
Thanks for the info
Gosh peregrines are so beautiful. They r my fav
I love Kestrels, they are such pretty little birds.....
Ha my African Grey does rousing and winnowing too. Cool to see names for what she is doing. If the same actions are applied to parrots as well.
Great video 🥰
Winnowing, love it, so impressive.
1:26 Also love the stare straight into the camera afterwards.
She's saying, "you lift, bro?"
This is awesome and thank you for selling on tee spring where larger people can actually purchase your merch!! It stinks being a 4 to 5 xl and never being able to buy merch due to size constraints sigh :)
Your channel is fascinating. I wonder if you could do a short explanation of the bands on the raptors legs? What the markings mean, and how they are applied, removed, etc? Thanks for the wonderful content!
That was fun.😎
❤️
I will now refer to the pre takeoff engine runup as Winnowing 😁
Wow that pellet was no joke
Dont bowse and drive.
I need to wait for my bird to cast because I need to cast her for coping before I can fly her in a cast and cast her at quarry again.
Yep, makes perfect sense to me!
Yeah can't see anything wrong there 😀
♡♡♡
2:12 The black bird with orange on its face, what species is that. Gorgeous!
Striated caracara, there will be a video about her soon :)

It seems like you’re mostly involved with the Falcons etc. as far as that being your main hobby am I right? I was just curious what made you begin keeping a raven? He’s very very cool! Is it possible to ever let him go out and fly?. Would that be possible?
Tina, if you look at some of Amy's other videos, you'll see that she is a professional falconer - it's not a hobby.
The aviary Fable the raven is often filmed in is not a cage. Amy said that Fable is free flying and the aviary is his safe space, his room. They filmed in the aviary because it's easier.
Good day. Fable has Amy for educational purposes.
Gotta love a bird having a bath.
Very interesting Amy! Now I have a few new words to become familiar with, thanks! I was wondering if you had any Cooper's Hawks in your neck of the woods? How about Kestrel's? Just curious.... 😉😉👍👍
Yes we have kestrels. But coopers are not native here :) we do however have beautiful sparrowhawks
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Let Racecar Flyer Out for a Spin. Wow!
What species is the grey falcon at 1:38 ?
It looks gorgeous !
Looks like if you say the word cast about almost any activity you won't be far wrong!
Haha amazing isn't it! It can start to get a bit confusing!
Some weird language evolution. In Dutch when a falcon is stationary in the sky looking for prey we cal it "bidden" which litteraly translates to "to pray". 🤔
i was a pigeon racer for years and i am trying not to hate these birds.
what is a falconer? do look out for spies or enemies?
I am late to the party... but what is the metal cuff on the bird? Is it for ID or licensing purposes? If not, what?
What's it called when a hawk shields its catch with its wings, covering it like an umbrella?
What do you call it when a hawk is drying out its wings after a bath, with both in full extension absorbing the sun?
The "shielding" behaviour is called mantling, but I'm not sure if there's a specific name for the sun bathing behaviour...
Good day. It's sunbathing. They do it golden eagles, hawks and goshawks after a cooler night in the morning to get warm from the sun. My golden eagels aand goshawks do it in winter and spring almost every morning.
"Fed Up" haha.. I thought it really meant the bird was fed up with you XD
I wanted to cast my cast of hawks, but they casted up so I had to cast them carefully.
My English grammar is bad, so help me with mistakes, please)
Hi Amy!!!!
A lot of Casts there, that could be confusing... I cast my hawk this morning to a tree and had to cast him to see if he had any issues, and you know what? He cast all over my shoes!
boop boop
In falconry cast is like vaina for Dominican Spanish. It's just anything, hahaha.
Was anyone else going into this hoping they'd learn how to talk to falcons?
Eagle is the fastest bird
Have you ever had a bird fly away never to return?
No luckily :)
"boop boop"
"A bird that drinks excessively" they should call them Boozers..😄
Pokemon cards, baseball cards...where are the Falconry Cards with pictures of birds and falconry vocabulary explained, facts about birds and maybe some historical tidbits about falconry..Falconry Trading Cards...it would be both educational and entertaining......Boop Boop WoW has to be the most valued one...:)
I cast my gosshawk against your barn owl...! Kids may like this game and learn about falconry and birds and environment all at once...
love your channel I have question!a cheeky one, are you single lol
I get really "fed up" when my husband "bowses" way to much. I want to "cast" him off my glove, right out into the street. It makes me want to "cast" up my food...
Just kidding. He is a great old bird!😁
Do you have to resist the urge to make silly noises as you cast the bird off of your glove? I would probably go "shish-shawww!" or something goofy like that, just out of habit
haha or "(name of bird) I choose you!"
You are the coolest chick in the world
I wish your intros were shorter. 30 seconds feels like a lot.
I think it‘s okay, since you can just skip it if you don‘t like it.
40 second intro to a 4 minute viddie.
Ugh...that bumper music...I cant even get passed it
