    You state: “Whether you’re just starting to fly your first falcon or you’re wanting to practice before getting your first falcon…” Wait, since I don’t have a falcon, nor getting one, does that mean I can't watch these video’s??? 😉😉😉
    I just enjoy watching birds of prey, oddly no desire to become a falconer. Like your video’s Miss Amy, because they are more than a documentary. BOOP BOOP!
    Keep flying..😃😃😃

    Oddly enough, my mother would work lures like this on me when I was a little kid. When it was time for supper, she'd throw out a hot dog tied to a string into the back yard and within minutes she'd lure me into the house where upon she would tell me to clean up and get to the dinner table. Thanks as always for the great videos!

    Great job explaining things Amy. I’ve been a falconer for close to 40 years,....most of my life. I think it’s hard for folks outside of our community to fully grasp how playful a falcon can be and how much they enjoy chasing a lure(not all do,...but most) I’ve been focused on flying passage Merlin’s for the last 10 years.....and Merlin’s LOVE the lure! Keep doing a great job. You’re shining a positive light on our art. Best wishes, Bill.

I hope you know how great it is that through your eyes we get a small sense of what your days are like. I had no inkling of what it means to be a falconer. Living in The Netherlands I do not think I will ever get the chance to get close to this kind of work.

    Very informative and easy to follow, Amy! Over the last 43 years, I've seen many a bird injured or killed by bad technique whilst swinging and delivering the lure! Just about 2 weeks ago, a young lad who I taught to train and fly a Harris hawk killed his Lannerette. My health is not too good at the moment, so I couldn't teach him.I advised him to at least go on a short lure course. But he was adamant and confident enough to dive in head first! Unfortunately, he has paid the price for it! Once again, Amy, great video! Take care and best wishes.

I love this video because you explain how to do it in stages, and unlike some other videos I've seen, how to throw the lure forwards and retract it for a pass.

    Been two months now since I last swung a lure but the callus is still just about there! When I was first learning I took a lure with me when I went away to do ecology work. One day I went out to practice before dinner and one of my colleagues found me. He thought it was a really strange thing to practice and he didn't believe me when I said it's deceptively tricky. I let him have a go and tried to teach him that first cast out in front but it was an absolute mess, spent probably best part of fifteen minutes trying but he just kept letting go of the whole lot instead of passing it through.
    This is a really good tutorial though, pretty much exactly how I was taught to do it step for step!

      Weirdly enough in my personal experience if you really foul up doing it live with a small, agile falcon they'll suddenly sense weakness and pull out their A game.
      Fairly often as well after they've caught you the next flight is more enthusiastic so I actually try and mix it up and let the bird "catch me out" instead of recalling it to the lure.
      Of course you can't do it all of the time or you could lose the instant recall to the lure, which is your biggest safety feature when flying a falcon to the lure.

    Kinda scary! Has your bird and lure ever crashed when you didn’t pull it fast enough? Can the bird be hurt? Does a crash happen often with newbies?
    Beautifully presented, well disseminated information. You are a great educator! Loved it. Thank you.

      Yes the bird can get hurt if the falconer does not pay attention. Falconry is essentially a very fast paced game of chess. Constantly having to think 5 or 6 steps ahead.
