Getting Finley the Red Tailed Hawk ready for the 2024 Falconry Hunting season.
This will be Finley's 2nd hunting season with me. Finley is a female Red Tailed Hawk. I am flying her to the glove in her chamber (Mew) to get her ready for falconry this fall. This is her 2nd year. I have recovered from my heart attack in February for the most part and I am looking forward to flying Finley in her 2nd season. She is a supreme hunter and has a great temperament. She is very easy to work with.

    Great video. Falconry is so damn interesting. You said this was the 4th session of the day - how long is each session? How long do you wait between sessions? How do you know how many ounces of food to start with after trapping? I just wonder how you guess your baseline amount of food so you can increase or decrease weight as necessary. Are the first days mostly trial and error? You also mentioned Finn was fast to feed from the forceps - only 18 hrs seems amazing. What is a more typical time frame? What would be too long/too slow? Thanks in advance for any answers - just very curious about the whole process. Ill be sure to check out your other videos as well.

      That is a great question. We mostly hunt squirrels together so I probably won't bother with that but yes you can train a red tail to catch birds. Turn this summer he'll mostly just get to eat as much as he likes and molt his new feathers

      Hah, yeah that would work. This form of hunting does not involve firearms, that is the role of the hawk. However, I do have a slingshot that I can use to try to get the squirrels to move around.

      It's a very small amount and makes them slightly hungry and provides food motivation that is used in training

    Thanks for the info .I tried the hood on my passage peregrine but it just doesn't like it at all! So no hood now.i think I broke the built up trust when I tried the hood as u had him coming to glove and feeding from it to zero after the hood so I had to start all over again but 3days after it he was back lol so now I won't teach with hood but I should I know.he has lived through fireworks and hand fed every day I have had him 7weeks.i am doing the same as what you said build the trust then work ,definitely right as I broke and he did nothing so I had to build all that again now better thank god even the lure but can't get him to Mann on glove for long unless he is eating he just goes mad the the upside-down squealing lol..
