Falconry: Principle of Accipiter aggression
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ย. 2024
- All trained birds of prey have the potential to exhibit aggression. Accipiters often have the most severe cases. There are many falconry training techniques to prevent or stop aggression. Future videos will demonstrate these techniques. This video explains the primary principle that is behind all techniques for stopping and preventing aggression.
I appreciate your no nonsense approach to sharing knowledge. Many thanks...
Hello, great video.
I keep goshawks and golden eagels.
Ben is right about everything. Imprints are much more prone to aggression than goshawks raised by their parents. But aggression is with everyone. Smaller species are more aggressive than larger species. If imprint calls, I change often the location of its perchers. Of course hunting is needed.
Really interesting video again Ben ..... Learning so much from you.👍👍👍 Thank you.
Hey Ben. Just got my first Gos (flew Harris before) on creance at the moment. Can't wait for your next videos, I learn something from each one.
Dorianne Elliott congrats!!!! You will have a blast! I’ll be trying to put out lots of accipiter content this summer.
Great video 🙌🏼
Love your content!!
Interestingly, many of the things you talk about are true in dogs as well.
For example, the people who fell for Stanley Coren's nonsense and got a Border Collie (Coren thought they were smart but they aren't; generally they are more biddable than most dogs rather than more intelligent) end up with the problem that whenever things get exciting, their BC runs around the fringe of the activity and nips.
There are lots of ways to manage the problem--for instance, put the dog in another room when the kids have friends over. That isn't teaching the dog anything useful, it is just preventing the problem by manipulating the environment. Management alone always fails. Usually the failures aren't catastrophic but if a dog owner relies on management alone, eventually there will come a failure that is catastrophic.
The only reliable way to teach a BC not to run around excitement and nip at it is to take the BC herding, on real livestock. Ducks might do it but sheep get a more reliable response. Take that BC herding several times a week and do enough training on stock that the BC figures out "oh! This is what those urges are for!" Once the BC learns where and how to channel those impulses, the running around the fringe of excited kids and nipping at them disappears, most often without any attempt to stop the behaviour.
Thats why a lot of people dont train there GWP but the GWP trains them with out them knowing .
I have seen my brother hawk an imprint and also a chamber raised , chamber raised is by far so much better in all areas, especially aggression and making noise. I've seen enough that I'd never own an inprint
Have you had experience with the common red shouldered hawk and is it a hawk suitable in falconry?
Helo brother
Where can I find your video on how to replicate a false hunt?
Aggression is normal. A living thing which lacks it is defective.
Hi! very intersting. I am currently training a young harris hawk, He did well at the begenning, but now he is footing my glove for nothing and yestertay I tried a technic, but it is like he got ''impatient'', and he just jump at my face... I blocked him. After the day, I just open the door of his aviary, and he just flew right towards me. So you have a advice please. In my opinion, He is young and learning, but still, I don't know how to correct this. please help
Melissa I would completely redirect food placement and location. First I would not feed at all in the mew or aviary, as he might be acting aggressive based off of a sense or territoriality. Instead of feeding him in there, take him outside and walk him to a lure that is already out and has food on it so he doesn’t see you pulling out the lure. I would also avoid feeding him on the fist for a while, or perhaps just a tiny tiny piece of food. These two changes should help lower his aggression levels. But whether you do these techniques or something else, it is good to act quick with Harris hawks. They are normally extremely gentle, but when they start down the path of aggression, it can turn bad quickly. Every spring I have to implement some of these same changes temporarily with my female Harris or else she gets really aggressive during the breeding season. But if I keep food aggression and territory aggression levels down, she is fine again by late summer and hunting season in the fall.
Use a Lure ! Let him to let his agrassion out on the lure ! Sounds like he needs to kill something .
It's a funny thing...i #think that "aggression" is not #quite the right word, because, as you say, it carries a negative connotation for us; there must be a better word for that natural "fire" that drives hunting animals. After all, without it, they would die! And, what would you call your own drive to hunt, and the enjoyment of the partnership, and the success of the kill? A lot of "agrarian-minded" people can't understand it, and find it, to them, perverse; if they were starving to death, and a rabbit walked by, would they be so 'squeamish'?? So, "aggression", hmmmm.'?
In dogs we call that "prey drive". I think it may also be appropriate here?
