    This is an amazing channel. Lots of knowledge casually thrown out there but this whole video is a gem of knowledge! This guy knows so much he doesn’t even think it’s all that interesting or unique when most people wouldn’t know anything before he explains it. I love people like that who they’re so deep in the topic they don’t even realize they’re dropping tons of info just casually talking. Expert shit!

    I love this video. It demystifies the trapping process and shows the frustration that is had on most days when you're out looking for the perfect bird. Trapping your first red tail as an apprentice can rank up there as one of the best days of your life!

    Man I love you guys so much. I have been mushing sled dogs 25 years but have always had a desire to engage in falconry. I have a BS in wildlife Bio from University of Maine. I bought the books on falconry and reached out two decades ago to falconers for apprenticeships- so this brings me back to my original statement. Most falconers are so condescending and aloof- I love how fun and approachable you are. Man if you were in Maine Id be being you to mentor me- if you know a good chill falconer in Maine, please hook me up!

    Last year trapping was crazy. My area was full of hags but no passage birds. I drove everyday for two weeks looking for a passage, and then I had several people come up to me and ask me what I was doing. I even had a person ask If they could have the mouse because they thought I discarded it. I explained to them what falconry was and I was trapping a bird to hunt with. Luckily everyone understood

    Why do you use a zip tie trap over like a spring net trap? Is it softer on their tail feathers and help prevent bends better?

    • @WildlifeCommandCenter
      @WildlifeCommandCenter  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @ZHulse18, great question! The choice of using a zip tie trap over a spring net trap often comes down to reducing stress and potential injury to the birds. Zip tie traps, or BC traps, are designed to be less intrusive and can gently restrain a bird without causing harm to delicate parts like tail feathers. This method helps prevent bending or breaking of feathers, which is crucial for the bird's ability to fly and overall health.
      Moreover, these traps tend to be less stressful for birds as they allow for quicker and safer handling and release, minimizing the time the bird spends in confinement. This approach not only protects the physical well-being of the birds but also mitigates the psychological stress they may experience during capture and relocation efforts.
      Thank you for your insightful query and for your interest in the welfare of wildlife. Such thoughtful considerations are vital for improving wildlife management practices. Keep watching @WildlifeCommandCenter for more discussions on humane wildlife trapping and conservation strategies.

      @WildlifeCommandCenter I definitely want to go with the red tail hawk route, but In the mean time while my sport is going on, I plan to really save up on money and slowly gain knowledge. And maybe it’s because I haven’t actively searched… but I don’t see many predatory birds in my area… I think I’ve seen an eagle pass by once through my house and that’s it.
      My main worry is that I am still a minor so I do need guardian help on licenses and stuff. My mom fears birds while my dad is usually out of town… so doing stuff like finding tools and building a Mew will be on me ^^”

    My wife and I have rescued seven hawks and one burrowing owl from the sides of highways over the last several years. The owl and only two hawks survived after turning them over to a raptor rescue unfortunately. I've come to admire these birds of prey somewhat enthusiastically. We are over the road tractor trailer owner operators and don't have the time to become falconers. I now catch these hawks by hand, (using gloves of course), but do you have any other suggestions that may help? Thank you in advance.

      @@P.DuncanMonk I believe it because it is the truth, if someone wants to break the law they will, regardless of a video that shows the proper way to legally and ethically do a task. Not even to mention there are 7 website available where they can buy a BC and all the equipment needed to perform the illegal activity. These videos do nothing to propel that. -BHBH

    I’m shocked at your use of such a harmful chemical on any bird. Diatomaceous earth is a much better substitute and its not a poisonous powder. I’m also surprised that you are allowed to trap and then keep a wild bird. You also had no proof that says you are allowed by law to trap at all. Your video leaves much to be desired as far as your legal rights to do what you’re doing.

      We are regulated by 5 different law enforcement agencies:
      Missouri Department of Conservation = Falconry, Venomous reptiles, Native species
      Jefferson County Animal Control = All animals on property
      USFW = all migratory birds, hawks, falcons and owls
      Jefferson County Sheriffs Department = all "dangerous" animals
      USDA = all animals used for educational programs and non-human primates
      I personally have permits from 3 of these law enforcement agencies for the activities in our videos!

      One of the topics we talk about all the time in toxicology class is the difference between toxins for mammals and toxins for insects, quite a bit of dissuasion is always had because what is toxic to insects is not the same toxin to mammals.
