  • Ok bare with me as we have been away to Norfolk for a couple of nights! However let me share with you the one thing that allows good falconers to become really great falconers .
    Some are gifted with this naturally , others like myself have learned it over the years and some never can.
    Whether you fly harris hawks , goshawks , eagles , owls or falcons this is the one thing that will take your falconry to the top level .
    Rather than just my face; enjoy many images of goshawks and Harris hawks from Richie Latham, breeder of these superb hunting hawks

    Great video with an important message. I'm fairly new to falconry, with my 2nd bird (both red tails). I was taught that it is critically important every interaction with your bird is a positive one. Keep those training sessions short with a big reward every time. My birds have been lovely and well mannered, never any mantling. Small females (~950g) and both had the confidence to tackle large hares. Thank you for posting!

    Nice one Dave. I have only been in falconry for 10 month's. I had a very short training session with a very good falconer in Cumbria. One thing that always sticks in my mind is treat your falcon/hawk with love this was one of the first things i was taught. Shouting or hitting the bird is a complete waste of time. It's not understood. As you say try to get inside there head. Understand why they do what they do and why they do it. In my short time I have come to understand falconry is an art and a vocation. Time spent with the bird in the correct manor is priceless. Understanding them is the way forward to making a great bird and a wonderful partnership.
    Have a great few day's off Dave I'm sure you have earned them.👍

    Great video. I know what you are speaking of in terms of the MAGIC part of animals keeping. I say animal keeping because I am not a falconer, but I am a goose, pheasant, peafowl, and duck farmer. I am working with my peafowl to perch and flight train them, hence why I enjoy your work.
    You said it brilliantly, in that EMPATHY plays a big role in working with wild and domestic animals. I call it a connection to Earth, to nature, to soul. When one is calm and centered, working with a wild animal is NOT about YOU the human and your missions. It's about YOU the human proving to the animal you are worthy of trust. It like your soul asking the animals soul if yall want to be buddies. I dont see myself as a Master, I see myself an a student and equal with the animals. I learn as much as I teach, if willing.
    Wild animals are VERY instinctual and can read micro expressions far better than what humans realize. They know your vibe before you even attempt to touch them. I find that when I just BE in the moment, no agenda, I can put myself into "seeing" the animals perspective. Not saying one has to be an animal guru to enjoy them, but there is something very MAGICKAL when one connects on a deeper level with a wild critter. Each meeting is a priceless gift.
    Thank you for sharing!

      always a student ; those that know it all must be very bored! I learn new stuff almost daily, that’s the beauty of it i think

      For the purposes of falconry it means hand reared and thinks it’s human or at least you’re it’s parent
