I worked with a Black Falcon that had road trauma and when it overcame the injury , I tried to man her to exercise her prior to release.She was aggressive from the start, footing, biting and screaming whenever I got close. She finally would allow me to carry her but as soon as she had eaten a small amount, she would regress. After months I gave up and put her in a large flight aviary prior to release. The next bird was a tiercel peregrine juvenile who stepped onto the glove the second day!
Ben, Thanks for all these videos! A wealth of info. I have a rescued juvenile Red Shouldered Hawk with some health issues. I would love the opportunity to pick your brain on what I could do to improve it's chances in recovery.
hello, very good video, I would like to propose a video idea in which you talk about different techniques to lift the prey once it is captured by the bird of prey, and differences between the technique depending on the bird, difficulties, how to teach the bird, etc, many Thank you and I would greatly appreciate your response, greetings from Chile.
I'm very thankful to you to creat a such knowledgeable videos and for positive response of our comments.I also want to know trade_off training of passage bird to leave it's kill gently and quickly come on fist or lure or on bate .I'm waiting for this knowledge Ben thanks❤
Hello Ben. I am not missing any of your videos. Thank you for sharing this exclusive, invaluable information. I would like to know about the peale's peregrine presenting in this video. Especially her weight, flying weight. May be you would consider making videos about your most prominent birds, their life. That would be awesome. You're excellent narrator, precise, vivid, submersive. These, would be videos, and those existing are gift for all worldwide falconers and bird likers.
Ben, have you worked with black Chested eagle buzzards, variable hawks or any other geranoaetus? If so, i would love a video about their behaviour and mindset, tips on how to train them etc. Anyway love all your content, thanks for sharing your knowledge
Hi Ben, fantastic content as always. I watch everything you up load, thank you. This one I've come back to as i am currently working with a Tawny Eagle that had been "retired" for 12 years. Her aggression towards me has lessened greatly after many months of perseverance. She now hops to the glove in her mew and feeds( as long as I follow the same routine every time). What seems to be harder to help her with is her agoraphobia. I have built an "open" area extension for her which she uses happily. Every time i remove her from her enclosure she gets extremely distressed. Even if we just stand in the open doorway. This sets back the "trust" work. I will continue the very softly, slow and gentle handling of her and her needs but if you have any tips or insights I'd love to hear them. Its only been 6 months so still early days, I have no time limits for her but would love for her to have a more enriched life. Thanks Ben, sorry its a book.
So is it not possible for you to interact and continue training a breeding bird during them activity breeding? It just feels wrong keeping them locked away as you described in your video, being so overwhelmed over the basic outdoor environment. It seems like an ethical issue to me. Not allowing the bird to behave in a way to keep them physically/mentally stimulated whilst on a nest. I can definitely understand them incubating/not wanting to get off in general. I just… I’m torn Ben. It seems wrong, but I don’t understand the entire process either.
Thank you, so much, for this, Ben!! Really helps me !! 😉 🥰
Thank you for the video.
Luar biasa burung bagus👍
Love the channel!
Well done. I've never held a bird in my hand but this makes sense.

Hey Ben! Thanks for another great video. Any chance you're looking for an apprentice? I'm in Highland/Alpine and would love to connect either way!
