[@RasamArsin]

[@eipebpeax]

I am the stage of learning a peregrine female to get up :) nice videos

[@jmw1983209]

Could you possibly do a video of your pickup setup

[@American_Falconry]

I'll include it with my next video.

[@davemyers7507]

What is the lime green mute your only indication of France or could you see lesions in her mouth thanks for the update immature birds get that a lot or immunity is not up to par

[@American_Falconry]

@@davemyers7507 I talk about it more in the video at 10:20 minutes.

[@Zombie_Longwinger]

@@davemyers7507Immature falcons are immune compromised the stress of being caught up or training or the whole process of learning their part in the human environment knocks out gut fauna/immunity that would normally keep these illnesses at bay. Older intermewed tamer birds have much more immunity to disease. Feeding a probiotic with immature falcons would probably be a good idea and something I want to start doing.

[@leonz7155]

Do you keep it hooded over night?

[@American_Falconry]

No. They are hooded only when transporting to, and from the field.

[@barnabyandanthonysofficial1497]

so are those homing pigeons? or if they're not gobbled up by your bird their just let to get on in the wild?

[@American_Falconry]

Yes they are homing pigeons from my loft.

[@barnabyandanthonysofficial1497]

cool :) how many do you keep at a time?@@American_Falconry

[@American_Falconry]

@@barnabyandanthonysofficial1497Dave and I share a loft and we have around 75 birds.

[@barnabyandanthonysofficial1497]

that's awesome! I'm assuming the breed on their own? What's the best/worst parts or how does an operation like that contribute to your falconry?@@American_Falconry

[@American_Falconry]

@@barnabyandanthonysofficial1497 yes they reproduce on their own quite well. They are indispensable for my falconry.
