I've always found it very noble how capture falconers re-release their birds into the wild after a few seasons. They respect the fact that this is and will always be a wild animal; they're only forming a brief partnership with it
Only when the bird did not work out for the falconer . Ancient Arab falconers would trap falcon in the fall and release in the next spring, that's because they were hunting with the falcon for subsistence and could not hunt in heat of summer and did not want to feed a non hunting bird.
I'm 15 and have become a bit interested in falconry. Looking at the comments I'm glad I'm not alone with being a young person interested in these birds. I'm currently in my 2nd year of highschool and striving towards being a vet tech, but I'll always have falconry in the corner of my mind as something to branch off and start seriously looking into.
Oh my gosh!! It's you!! I subscribed and added you already!! Thanks!! There is at least one peregrine that lives in my city. I've seen it perched on a steeple a few times, and earing across the street from it twice. I also have a peregrine feather that my sister found and another one that I found somewhere else. I got back from a camp today that has like, eight ospreys, and two eagles. There are also two eagles, and I'm pretty sure they're a young Bald Eagle and a female, but they look like golden eagles, but I live in Maine and they don't live here, or at least they don't officially live here. The osprey nest is across from my campsite and I kayak right to it often!! I'm only twelve though, and I have to be fourteen to get my permit, so I can't wait!! Thank you so much!!
To gain the trust and allegiance of another creature to join in the hunt through teamwork and respect is one of the most beautiful and remarkable things. I'm determined to make this a reality for myself and join in the hunt as well to keep this old tradition alive.
Falconry has always pinged my interest, especially the role of practitioners providing knowledge and experience that allowed the reintroduction of Bald Eagles to succeed in multiple areas and ways.Haven't really decided whether I'd go for straight up falconry or rehabilitation once I get the time and money.
You gave a really good perception of what Falconry is like through this video, excellent work! I look forward to your next uploads and I'll be looking out for the videos of this season. Bradley
Oh and glad your back . I was wondering when you all would back. I was about to unsubscribe all the ones with no action. I'm about to retire so I hope it's not to late for me to do my childhood dream. What books you recommend. Might do a video on that. God bless
I'm 15 in ny and I'm taking my falconry test on Friday 😁 fingers crossed it goes well. I honestly don't think I will pass just because all I have done is learned from a book that by provided and it's definitely not enough. But I'd rather take this test and have a slight chance at passing than wait many months to take it. But I'm happy to see some videos like this on the internet! Thanks
+Subterrainio 😁 I don't know, they said it will be about 40 days to get results back. But I messed up on some easy ones. I hope I passed I don't want to wait to take it again.
Spencer V right, but there's got to be a way you can win them to your cause. If you've got a back yard, a minimum legal sized mews is all you need. Most passage birds are completely silent and unobtrusive in their behavior. Stay interested though!
we have 3 acres, but we just moved from medford oregon so we have a lot of work to do on our land, were building a go kart track, and falconry would cost a lot. i love being in the outdoors, fishing, swimming, and hunting so i considered starting falconry two years ago.
I have always been fascinated by falconry since I was 6 but I never had the chance to participate in the sport there is a guy in my area who owns an owl I can't remember what type but I have been trying to find him for days anyway I live in the bottom of Hampshire am 15 and live near Portsmouth I have been looking around for a place to go and have a go but can't find one also I want to own a raptor but live in a flat with no garden and a garage in a town how would I be able to keep one if it is possible of course with the right training please get back to me soon please.
Falconry Activity: 1. Catching birds. 2. Falconry captures are Falconers. 3. Falconers use something to trap birds. 4. Falconers make food for birds. 5. The bird then just risks itself in danger. Priority: 6. Birds need a harmless environment. 7. They also need food to survive. Other facts: 8. Falconers now use kites for falconry.
Birds in general arnt something you can “play” with a couple hours a day. The easiest pet I had a was a free flight pigeon, she went with me everywhere, if she couldn’t ride she followed the truck, if she couldn’t come inside my destination she would go blend in with the other pidgeons untill I called her as we could go home, it’s like having a permanent child that needs your attention. Like a toddler that never grows past 4 years old and can’t talk.
hello owsome video..i have a question that been on my mind for years is there a specific age for the birds as to be trained specially a golden eagle and what iif it is a migrated golden eagle that is 9 yrs old can it be trained and how far can i go with training?? thanks
Almost all times, a bird has to be caught when it is able to fly, but young enough to have just left the nest. I forgot the exact age, but it has to be at least less than 2 years old so it does not have any children to return to. A 9 yearold Eagle is too old.
I want to be a falconer but I don't want to hunt and use the catch for me. I want to let the bird eat it. Is this OK to do in the UK and has anyone got any info on how to become a falconer?
Ross Clark unlike other brids, hawks cost a lot of money, easily $1000 this only works by limiting supply, they'll sell you a bird if you are a falconer and go through the routes to become one, which will cost you too the easiest way to get a bird is go live in thailand, we have a place there, with little falconet, they cost us nothing, and they are much easier to mainain in Europe you also go into a databank if you keep a bird of prey, so if anything or anyone gets attacked by your bird, they can sue you, this isn't the case with any other type of bird keeping a falcon in th3e west is a pain, the birds cost a ton of money, the rules are crazy, and the types of falcons and hawks are not easy to maintain, there are many more fun birds than birds of prey to keep in the west, the smallest birds of prey you find in south-east asia are fun and easy to maintain, but they're illegal to import..but there are many smaller fun birds in the west that aren't birds of prey too
+Aurelie Nani this is not quite true, in England you do not need any type of licensing to acquire most species of raptor, many breeders will sell you a bird, the only requirement is that the bird is ringed and registered
You'd want to catch a falcon after getting a license and everything else required to become a falconer, you have the choice of either catching a red tail Hawk or an American kestrel, I recommend checking out the California hawking club website if you want to learn more about falconry.
I'd Love to work with these kind of birds... But they are, sadly, illegal in sweden. Both the sport and having them. Which, is, kind of understandable- they don't want hybrids. But it would be very Easy to just make it legal to own swedish bird species (with swedish blood). But Hey! I can always dream lol
Never really understood this. I love animals and I can’t understand catching a wild animal and then starving it until it does what you want. Why is this even legal, honestly?
Dying sport. Those that commit and pass the test often don't find sponsorship and its a total waste of time. Been through it for years. My attitude doesn't help but whatever, I educate people on how dumb falconry regulation is. I hope the USFWS gets defunded, not comfortable with my hard earned tax dollars going to those pricks.
Samuel Hiorns That's like saying "I want it, but not alive." Hunting is the greatest thing these birds can do. They need the food. And they need that space.
adnan khan. They need to stretch their wings a lot. And when they do, they'll hunt everything small that moves. It's not something you can make them stop. You're not supposed to buy living food. It sets out to hunt for itself, but you need to be there and help kill the prey if something goes wrong.

@ 1:08 - "Falconreee"
Josh Ua that is exactly true. It is a bit disturbing. Too many eeeeeee s
Ha its a ginger kid
I'm going to be a falconer when I grow up. It's no longer just a mere hope or dream. I know I'm going to be one!!
That's what I love to hear. Wishing you luck on your journey, you become a falconer and you begin the adventure of a lifetime!
Oh my gosh!! It's you!! I subscribed and added you already!! Thanks!! There is at least one peregrine that lives in my city.

Got the permit yet?
creativeboy network me to
creativeboy network ... me too! :-}
It seems you opted for the "Epic" narration package.
To gain the trust and allegiance of another creature to join in the hunt through teamwork and respect is one of the most beautiful and remarkable things. I'm determined to make this a reality for myself and join in the hunt as well to keep this old tradition alive.
A Beautiful and profound statement.thank you
Batman narrated this video XD
Emily Holder ... haha! Nice.
Yes

Am getting my own bird on the 27 of november and ive been prepering long and hard for this day! it is definitly a lifestyle
This is awesome. Excellent narration and love the chess/checkmate at the end. That fellow with the yellow toboggan I hear is pretty good too.
Nice vid depicting arguably, one of the greatest field sports ever practiced by Man!👊👍
What a wonderful video! You did an awesome job!
You did a great job! I love it!
Really well done video. Amazing camera work! I love this sport.
You gave a really good perception of what Falconry is like through this video, excellent work! I look forward to your next uploads and I'll be looking out for the videos of this season. Bradley
Excellent job.
Great video guys!

+philipee32 yeah and sadly I failed by 2 points with a 78 but I'll just tAke it again
Did you pass the test. I want to get into falconry I live in PA. Im 14, am I old enough to start? Thanks.
+IAmThePartyMan TV pretty sure you are 14 is the earliest in most states but I would just google it! Good luck though
Isabella Smith thanks will do
Great video.
Ooo man your video is sooooo emotive 😍❤❤
I have found my true calling
Awesome
Great video, I'm 12 and hope that I can start falconry when I grow up. I'm disappointed because it seems like a long time until I'm 18.
Where do you live? I believe everywhere in the U.S. the legal starting age is 12-14 with a sponsor.
that is true but dont forget that parents dont allways like having large birds of prey aroud.
Spencer V right, but there's got to be a way you can win them to your cause. If you've got a back yard, a minimum legal sized mews is all you need. Most passage birds are completely silent and unobtrusive in their behavior. Stay interested though!

i try to convince them
I also know i will be a falconer when i grow up.
Well done
This dudes voice is awesome lol
great job!!!!

Can you do Falconry as a hobby (spending around 2 hours per day) or is it something you need to dedicate your live to?
It’s truly a lifestyle everyday 365 days a year dedicated to your bird
Birds in general arnt something you can “play” with a couple hours a day. The easiest pet I had a was a free flight pigeon, she went with me everywhere, if she couldn’t ride she followed the truck, if she couldn’t come inside my destination she would go blend in with the other pidgeons untill I called her as we could go home, it’s like having a permanent child that needs your attention.

I want to learn
What is a eagle handler called?
Hey do you all have patches.
I love and collect patches .
Great!
hello owsome video..i have a question that been on my mind for years

If I got this thing would it hunt my cats?
Jay Fedder If it can take a fox, then yes, it will. Though it depends on what kind of bird you get.
Get the smallest one you can.
I want to be a falconer but I don't want to hunt and use the catch for me. I want to let the bird eat it. Is this OK to do in the UK and has anyone got any info on how to become a falconer?
This dude sounds like Snake.
+The Soul Survivor Yeah, he kinda does
That voice.
I live in Britain so I can't trap a hawk from the wild, how much roughly does a red-tail cost?
+Ross Clark
no one is going to just sell you a bird
+Aurelie Nani what about breeders
Ross Clark
unlike other brids, hawks cost a lot of money, easily $1000
this only works by limiting supply, they'll sell you a bird if you are a falconer and go through the routes to become one, which will cost you too
the easiest way to get a bird is go live in thailand, we have a place there, with little falconet, they cost us nothing, and they are much easier to mainain
in Europe you also go into a databank if you keep a bird of prey, so if anything or anyone gets attacked by your bird, they can sue you, this isn't the case with any other type of bird
keeping a falcon in th3e west is a pain, the birds cost a ton of money, the rules are crazy, and the types of falcons and hawks are not easy to maintain, there are many more fun birds than birds of prey to keep in the west, the smallest birds of prey you find in south-east asia are fun and easy to maintain, but they're illegal to import..but there are many smaller fun birds in the west that aren't birds of prey too
+Aurelie Nani I know they cost a lot of money but I'm not going to go and live in Thailand, that's ridiculous.
+Aurelie Nani this is not quite true, in England you do not need any type of licensing to acquire most species of raptor, many breeders will sell you a bird, the only requirement is that the bird is ringed and registered
Falconry is such a cool sport. Too bad its so tough to get into because of its low popularity.
+Nathaneal Greene Agreed hardly anyone withing 100 miles of me does it
I love it
But I have no opportunity to handle this 😭😭
we're I live there's coopers Hawks and red taileds
I wouldn't use eagles, but I would use hawks or falcons
If i were to start Falconry, how would i get a hawk, or falcon? Do i buy one or what?
You'd want to catch a falcon after getting a license and everything else required to become a falconer, you have the choice of either catching a red tail Hawk or an American kestrel, I recommend checking out the California hawking club website if you want to learn more about falconry.
depends where you live.
Why do I have to read so much? I don't come to youtube to read a book.
I'd Love to work with these kind of birds... But they are, sadly, illegal in sweden. Both the sport and having them. Which, is, kind of understandable- they don't want hybrids. But it would be very Easy to just make it legal to own swedish bird species (with swedish blood).
But Hey! I can always dream lol
aye, how do i get myself a bird, i might just steal one
so edgy
Should’ve been a different narrator
Never really understood this. I love animals and I can’t understand catching a wild animal and then starving it until it does what you want. Why is this even legal, honestly?
Ashton That is... Wildly not how it works.
have you done any research on this subject. I don't think you have
Dying sport. Those that commit and pass the test often don't find sponsorship and its a total waste of time. Been through it for years. My attitude doesn't help but whatever, I educate people on how dumb falconry regulation is. I hope the USFWS gets defunded, not comfortable with my hard earned tax dollars going to those pricks.
I want to be a falconer because 1) It seems like fun, and I have to be a falconer to own an owl 2) I need an owl to go to hogwarts sooo...
Fact, since falconry became regulated American Kestrel population has plummeted. Coincidence? I think not
you lost me within the first minute for making a religious reference..
Dafuq is this
I just want it to fly not hunt
Samuel Hiorns That's like saying "I want it, but not alive."
Hunting is the greatest thing these birds can do. They need the food. And they need that space.
Hanna G so do you NEED to let them to hunt live food? because I have alot of space for it to fly but buying live food may be a problem
adnan khan. They need to stretch their wings a lot. And when they do, they'll hunt everything small that moves. It's not something you can make them stop.
You're not supposed to buy living food. It sets out to hunt for itself, but you need to be there and help kill the prey if something goes wrong.
You should get some pigeons. They can fly around.
I love it
But I have no opportunity to handle this 😭😭
