First Free Flight
Here's some footage of my taking my passage male Red-tail on his first untethered flight. Falconry is a legal sport in the US but requires special licensing and is highly regulated. If you have any questions, check out ehfalconry.wordpress.com or shoot me an email.

Flying A Red-Tailed Hawk On A Creance
Переглядів 49 тис.11 років тому
Here's a short video I made showing how I trained my immature male Red-Tailed Hawk on a creance. I hope any apprentice falconers out there find it useful. Falconry is a legal sport in the US but requires special licensing. The photos in the beginning and the end are by Wil Weiss. If you have any questions, please check out my blog at ehfalconry.wordpress.com or shoot me an email.
Trapping an Immature Red-tailed Hawk
Переглядів 2,5 млн12 років тому
This is a video I made about trapping Red-tailed Hawks for use in falconry. This ancient sport is still legal today in the US and is highly regulated. No birds were harmed during the trapping or during the making of this film. We used a bow-net to trap the hawks in Monroe, NY. For more about falconry please visit ehfalconry.wordpress.com/

    I’m not a falconer yet. I’m just reading the California Hawking Club study guide since I’m studying for test. I’m guessing that they changed the method of putting stockings over them cause it’s dangerous. Cause I’m reading it and it says that method is dangerous as the bird can’t mute and it gets overheated quickly. I know this video is old but I’m sure they changed that rule.

    You people need to learn how to handle a wild hawk. You do Not take the bird ! You cover it with a blanket and put blinders in it . You need to check your tactics . In experience shows and you put the bird in alot of danger.

    NEVER Tape the feet together then sock the bird ! Sock the bird first THEN tape the tarsus (legs) and feet together around the SOCK. Just in case the Hawk gets loose. Other wise if the bird escapes the feet and legs will NOT be taped together, And the Hawk will survive.

    Friend of mine started falconry with kestrels and prairie falcons. while he liked the kestrels, they were more of a "training" bird (this was back in the 70s when peregrines weren't available) so he moved up into "stressful" relationship with a Prairie Falcon named "Bruiser." He quickly learned PFs were just too free-spirited and temperamental for effective falconry, so he got a tip to try red tails. He's retired from falconry now, but he stuck with red tails the last 10 years because they were so trainable, predictable, and fairly low maintenance compared to most larger falcons.

    Interesting. After the comment that said that most rappers died within a year or whatever that was it said I looked up the average life expectancy for a hawk and it says 10 to 15 years 20 in captivity. I don't know about you but if I was a hawk I'd rather live 10 to 15 years in the wild than 15 to 20 in captivity.

    • @Toothandtalon

      Landon Ohlinger that’s only if they make it past their first five years. About 10%- 20% make it past their first year and only 5% make it past their first 5 years. The wild is not as forgiving as you think it is.

    No use arguing with ignorant liberals.they are too stupid to recognize who the true animal conservationists are.all the do is cry and wave their signs in ignorance about a subject they know nothing about ,because they are emotional wrecks who think on emotion instead of using logic. emotional people don't think and thinking people don't think on emotion.logic is king.

    What horrid technique, I've seen Spaniards doing it better with eagles, they don't use the spring net trap, instead they surround the decoy bird with nets so when the raptor attack then it gets stuck in the nets before even approaching the decoy bird. They also hood the animal right away which is the most important thing to calm the bird down.

    why are you not training it to fly to the fist first? using a lure instead will cause nothing but problems in the future and what is worse is then watching you call it from lure to fist...... Falconry has not needed changing for hundreds of years so why change it? What will happen when you go hunting and your red tail catches a rabbit to then letting go and fly off to your fist because you trained it that way. Sorry bad falconry being shown here of maybe you know no different.

    It seems strange to throw the hawk to release it. Hawks can go into shock and won't fly, so if you throw them they can just plop to the ground like a sack of potatoes lol Is it too risky to set them on the ground?

    • @beresclements2211
      @beresclements2211 4 роки тому

      if you put a red tail on the ground it wont fly it will just look at you, this is the best way to do it in most cases. the bird wont just drop out of the sky it knows to fly lol
