@@MercerFalconry Agreed! Canada uses the metric system like the UK. Smartest way! Also loved the part where you were pouring the drink. It had me dying🤣
Giant-hood is a carrying box, I thought the name was funny myself. In America the hunting season is for the animal you're hunting for, if the bird catches something out of season he can eat it, just not allowed to bag it.
08:30 game over. thanks for playing. thanks for the video and this format. i am just starting the learning of becoming a falconer so this is very helpful. edit: i like this version of you - cheers.
Thank you so much for these videos. They are very helpful! I didn't pass the first time so am going back to retake soon. Taking it anyway (needed more study time) helped me to narrow down what to study harder.
It doesn’t surprise me that people don’t pass the first time, there really are some bizarre questions, let me know how the second time round goes for you and good luck!
@@MercerFalconry The way they word some of the questions is a little tricky and I agree about the questions. I listened to part 4 this morning on the way to work. Thanks so much, and I will definitely let you know how the retake goes.👍😊
This was so much fun! I'm a US-American who learned falconry in Germany, and I've loved all of your Ami-test videos. Tonight with the added lure of you testing with shots, I got my German husband to watch with me (new like & follower, by the way). We both LOL'd when you said, "Oh my word, Americans..." about the measurements!! I've heard such from him many times. Although I'm a native speaker of English, I learn often from you that there are many English falconry terms I don't know! I should start taking notes... Hope you didn't have too much of a headache the morning after shooting this video! And I'm very glad you gave up the chilis. 😅🍺
I got very drunk when I went to Germany, they certainly know how to have a good time over there 😂 I have a few more videos planned about terminology so hopefully they will be helpful to you!
Well, there's operative conditioning in action. If it weren't 8:30 AM I'd join you to celebrate 26 correct out of 30. Yeah! Common sense in animal handling, rehabbing a couple of corvidae, and a decent working knowledge of medieval history. This was so much fun. After I watch my way through all your other vids I might be able to pass the exam for real. If I find myself a widow any time soon maybe I will seek out that apprenticeship.
A yard is three feet, comparable to a meter. An American football field is 100 yards, so 50 yards is half of that. Maybe that will help you visualize the distance. Well done! I didn't vote for Trump. :)
Hard to even picture how long IS a football field when one havent been next to one! Also, voting for Hillary wasnt any better. Choices you had were bad and worse and in that particular case, Hillary seemed to be slightly crazy, slightly psychopathic and slightly megalomaniac!
"What the heck is a yard?" Exactly!!😂 This will help me a lot. Thanks Mercer Falconry!
Stupid measurements 😂
You are very welcome!

Ah that makes a bit more sense now, I was just picturing a really big hood 😂
@@MercerFalconry You should do a review on The Simpsons episode where they had Daniel Radcliff play the American falconry kid.

Dan, we Mercer's have been using this type of positive reinforcement for years, as you well know 😂🍻 Brilliant video, as always x
I will definitely be using this method again! 😂

Where is the next video! I've enjoyed the mini series.
Should be on its way soon!

Best type of enforcement love the video
Do the other parts of the rest of the questions please sir❤
Salud 😃
Cheers!
Awesome you can pass the American Falconry Exam. Just one note, in the US you MUST hunt your birds to be a falconer. Have you ever hunted your birds?
Yes

Thank you, I’m the last person to be able visualise something compared to a football field, im useless with sports 😂
