- In this video I am going to show how i trained a peregrine falcon. Shes spent a few months moulting so in this video i show the process i went through to reclaim her, train her, and start flying her free to the lure.
Love it ... Great footage and great to be a part of. Really enjoyed working with Harriett and seeing her progress from such a tough start to her life, it truly is amazing. Awesome footage from Jake by the way , really great shots ,made for a superb video.
Don’t tell Jake that, he will be after a pay rise 😂
Love the Video! The progress she made over 12 days is really impressive ❤
Thank you, she’s been an absolute star!
I always enjoy seeing falcon flown to the lure and hope to see in person one day. I plan to have a internship at one of my local raptor centers next summer.
Videos don’t do the falcons justice, they are much more impressive animals in person!!!
Lovely video Dan. Well explained and wonderful seeing her flying. Great.
Thank you, she is a real treat to watch in the air!
Absolutely brilliant video as always Dan Harriet is gorgeous as are all peregrines, I cant wait for more keep up the awesome content love your videos 🥰🦉
Thank you 😁 I’ve filmed over 7 hours of content this week so plenty is on the way!
Not asking to be rude but is this your job? How did you get into it or what do/ did you do for money to get into this? I’ve been wanting to do it for years but didn’t have the most money until recently and I’m genuinely curious how people are able to do this and still afford housing 😅
Looking forward to seeing more videos and your care for your birds is clear to see
Thank you I appreciate that, plenty of videos on the way when I can find a spare minute to do some editing!
One of the best video on youtube related peregrine falcon training!
Thank you very much, very kind words!
Beautiful bird and insightful post yet again Dan. apologies for the lack of comms, i'll be in touch soon. Keep the posts coming!
Thank you, I promise I’ll check my phone and reply, hope you are doing well!
I’m really looking forward to seeing her progress 😁
Me too, hopefully she can learn to climb very high and build up enough fitness that I can put a camera on her back and see a falcon stoop from her perspective!
Love the video! She's in great hands. Hope to see her flourish in later videos.
This was beautiful to see! Thank you :)
Excelent
Pleasure to watch my friend , beautifully done
Great upload! Got to hold my sponsors peregrine a few weeks back and holy- they are some of theist amazing raptors in my opinion.
I’ve been trapping for red tails lately and will probably get my first bird soon! I’m so excited and grateful for all the help your videos have given me!
Good luck, hopefully you get one soon, let me know when you do!
@@MercerFalconry yep I got the bird today. A big female weighing in at 1545 grams. Her name is Majora!
Congratulations, I’m sure you will have an amazing time getting to know each other and going through training
Peregrine falcons are such beautiful birds
Very nice falcon! Do you take game with any of your birds, or are they strictly used for education?
love your work. waiting for more.
thanks dan love u ❤
very very nice ..
My son loves these videos keep it up😃
Great work man.
Lovely video as usual .
Thank you 😁
Very nice information video
What is that bag you are using. I think I could use that with my birds. (parrots ATM but I need carry capacity, not ready for prey birds yet but certainly looking into it) thanks, love your channel. The content is really interesting
Teşekkürler.
Thank you!!!!😁
Impressive 😍 her training must be pleasure to you 🤩
She is a lot of fun to fly and very rewarding 😁
Hi mate,lovely channel you got here,looking to get into falconry myself just don’t know where to start,any suggestions please?(uk based)
Will you want to hunt with her in the future? I love the content of your channel! Greetings from Spain!
I’m undecided, I don’t really have the land set up with quarry for hunting as all of my birds are for displays
How's it going Dan? Its been a while! I used to pester you with questions because I was super obsessed with owning a bird of prey lol
❤❤❤👌👌

Hi dan just finished my first 2 months i started to hold meg who a perigrin and saker cross
Excellent, working hard and keeping at it pays off!
My Harris keeps shying from the hood and stomping when it’s on could u help ?
It’s difficult to help through a TH-cam comment, you could try to find a falconer local to you for help
Does anyone know how I can feed a wild hawk? Will it take dead food/meat? I don’t have the heart to leave out a live mouse or bird. 😕. I know where this hawk likes to perch every morning and afternoon, so I running into it isn’t an issue.
Any updates on a new video
i like ur shoese
Can you show us how to catch a hawk
Does uk ‘s pregrine migrate? If yes then to which region
No here in the UK the peregrines don’t migrate

@@MercerFalconry thanks a lot are they good first birds if you don’t want to hunt a lot and can they be good to imprint or no
How do I convince my parents to let me become a falconer
Hi
Hello
🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩hi
you do know that's a male?
Definitely is not
@MercerFalconry females are brown?? Males are blue grey after the first year, I have one lol
Here look I was learning from you I don't mean anything by it I'm just confused as I have read books and own a male right now he is brown about 6month old so I was actually watching your video to learn from and when I saw that blue grey but I also saw another on your video just confused because at first I thought I a female because it was brown so I called it star ,when reported back the man I got it from he pulled me and said you mean the male? 55years at he said he has done females are bigger but brown males are smaller and turn blue grey and bright yellow beek mating season that's how you tell the female from the males on the peregine falcon. Also Ben woodruff I follow on TH-cam he says the same.
There is no difference in colour and pattern between males and females in Peregrines, both male and female start off brown with blue feet and face, this is why we call the juveniles ‘brown birds’, and both male and female turn silvery grey with a pale chest and yellow feet and face once sexually mature.
Nothing worse than a a mantleing imprint.
Does uk ‘s pregrine migrate? If yes then to which region
I'm not sure that they do migrate, the ones where I live in the southwest of England seem to be around all year though they might go from the moors to the coast in winter (or summer, can't remember which way around lol)
