thanks so much for all your wisdom. This is valuable information and funny as hell.
Stay well. Your presence has been missed.
Great to hear from you Ben !!
Welcome back, hope recovery goes well!
Hope youre feeling better ben!!
*Spot On* info Ben. 👍
So happy to see you back but sorry for why you were away. Take care! I'm so happy you got your Lanner!
Glade you are back, Ben. I had a science teacher in 7th grade who brought his falcons to school. I've been interested in them for a long time. I will probably never have one myself but I get to watch your videos. thank you
So glad ur back! I missed ya bud, GODSPEED!
This is the exact video I wanted. Definitely worth the wait! ❤️❤️
I’ll have more on this guy showing the subsequent steps. It will be a fun journey to show. Stay tuned!
He’s so pretty ❤️can’t wait!
This is great!! I’ve always wanted a Falcon and maybe getting one next year and the Lanner looks a good option
Great timing! 👍
Great to watch 👍interesting talk. Get well.
Happy Healing journey ! Thank you for the most helpful video series !!!
Glad you're back. I hope all is well
Beautyfull boy, wish you two good luck😘
Happy to see you producing content again. Hope you keep on the path of healing. The lanner is a cute little fellow to be sure!
Thankyou for these videos. I have a new Lanner and this video has been very helpful. I may live on the other side of the Atlantic, but ALL the information is relevant. Love the video also on avoid8ng screamers. I only hope I get the manning and fist feeding balance right.
Good to know that you're okay Ben, love the lanner falcon looking forward to seeing more on the lanner.
Been waiting on a new video for so long!! Its here finally!! Thanks Ben!!
Hope your are back to 100 percent soon! Best wishes on your recovery. Glad to see you are back at it.
You really explain these things well. Good job and thank you. I find this incredibly interesting. I found a juvenile bird who was hurt and researched just in case he was unable to be rehabilitated. This takes a lot of skill and know-how to be able to do
Great video as always with so much great info thank you again for putting out videos like this can’t wait for more
So sorry to hear about your accident. Wishing you a speedy recovery! Thanks for your videos, interesting as always.
Love your videos they’ve been really helpful as I have begun my journey to become a falconer. Hope your doing better
Shogun show brought me here. Cool listening to bird nerds.
Excellent information!
Sorry to hear about your accident , best wishes for you and your family during the recovery.
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and knowledge 👍👍
Glad to see you well and intact!
I'm in similar situation resulting from same cause.
Peace and blessings
Hope you heal quickly!
Loving good training
ben i’m new to your videos. a similar accident in 2003 really took me out. honestly the silliest thing helped bring me back: i played a word game called word whomp (on pogo), & truly believe it helped me create new nerve pathways over time. i had a bad concussion & lost about 60% of my vocab & had alzheimer’s symptoms. so i was in worse shape & it took a long time to be able to compensate for memory/word recall functions. that silly game helped a ton. i played it as often as i could. i recommend it ben i’m new to your videos. i had a similar accident in 2003 that really took me out. honestly the silliest thing helped bring me back. i played a word game called word whomp on pogo, & i truly believe it helped me create new nerve pathways over time. i had a bad concussion and lost about 60% of my vocabulary and had alzheimer’s symptoms. so i was in worse shape & it took a long time for me to be able to compensate for memory/word recall functions. that silly game helped a ton. i played it as often as i could.
Just discovered this video, GREAT content. I absolutely love your passion, it comes through on screen and its infectious. As a new enthusiast, finding content like this is very helpful!
Appreciate another good vid Ben. Hope your alright from the auto bender. I've know what that's like. Also I'm looking forward to checking out the new Lanner Falcon project vid you have in the works. Sounds like it'll be another good book to get into.
Be well,
Regards,
Fellow Falconer,

Enjoyable and informative 👍👍👍 .... Waiting for more ❤️ love from India ❤️
Really hope you're ok sir! and make a speedy, full recovery!
Hope you have healed well. Thanks for the video.
Would be cool to see a video in the future talking about equipment. Specifically leather vs. braided. Clips or no clips. Your favorite types of swivels. Which works better for each species. Etc. Love the videos
Make a comprehensive video on various hybrids.
Oh wow hope the healing journey has been good zeek.
Ben, your video was very helpful to me.✨✨
I have a common kestrel in Japan☺
Recently, I was worried about the transition from bite-sized food to bit more-sized food, so I would like to try the contents of the video.
Thank you very much.
Sorry to hear about your injuries Ben
a1 info! keep it up
Commotion is no fun... Happy to see you are doing better! ;)
I'm interested in learning.
45 years old always wanted to do this
Ben, been watching all your videos on loop since the beginning of the pandemic. I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say that we are incredibly grateful for the work you put into sharing your knowledge, and so glad you’re okay and on the mend. Keep up the great work! (Rob in LA) PS: Maybe a short video some time about what’s involved in “shipping” someone’s prized Lanner (or any) Falcon?
Hey there.
I realy enjoyed your videos they are helping in my falconry knowledge😁
I am 10 years old and would love to start falconry soon, plus I have all the equipment needed.
I wanted to know how old you were when you started😁😁
Big fan
Kate
Same age as you. I started when I was ten 👍👍👍
Fantastic Video, but talk a little bit
slowly for your wordwide fans
and interested people around the
World by watching your video.
I hope you and everyone involved are fine about that accident :(
Your manner is so easy to watch and the content is very helpful. I am not sure whether you monitor these comments but how can we ask specific questions relevant to the subject?
I'm so happy that you are feeling better from your car crash take it easy and have a great day
Hey Ben, get better from your accident. I went through that lower back neck and head contusion, from auto accident, the guy hit me from behind and totaled my Lincoln Town car. The kid that hit me was totally trashed and they DUI him and arrested him. Make sure you hire a good attorneys and do not settle before legal counsel, the insurance company's are really good at taking our money, but they're not good covering. Your battle is with the insurance companies. I went to that process several years.
But the reason I'm writing you is because we live in Florida and my girlfriend is making friends with a apparently wild paragon falcon, he's missing one set of talents, so it can only stand on the good side and has a stump on the other side. Irina feeds him every morning, right now, feed chicken hearts and hamburger the bird likes raw hamburger meat better. Probably going to switch to Frozen rodents thawed and maybe ground up chicken with the bone for more nutrition.
Currently, that Bird's seems to be a dependent on morning feedings from Irina. And it seems to be starting to imprint with Irina. The bird let's my girlfriend come right up to him and feed it.
I hope there's going to be a way to put a prosthesis foot or talon on the missing side where the stump is, if possibly. The bird is kind of crippled because he can't fold the injured leg back in flight it's hanging down in the air slip stream.
Anyhow I am trying to gather as much information on the subject as I can hopefully your channel tol gathering information on the bird.
As a side note, when I was in the military US Air Force I was an aircrew member and my squadron was called the Arctic falcons. Whatever the heck that meant for us.
Anyhow I sure would like to help this little falcon out.
There is another one that comes with it in the morning for feedings on raw meat.
It could be a sibling which is getting bigger but I still think they are juvenile.
They usually show up together. A few weeks ago they're around the same size but the injured falcon is a lot smaller for assumed reasons, it's disability.
Hopefully the bird for survive long enough for us to figure out how to help him.
I may have to try to build some kind of shelter here on the property that it can feel safe until it learns how to survive with its disability one missing talon. Or else it's going to have to be taken care of the rest of its life.
I'm afraid to bring it to an animal shelter because they'll clip his wings and it will never fly again. I just couldn't see that. So trying to figure out so far it comes by every morning with the other bigger one.
If you got any advice throw It My Way thanks, Regards, Mark
As another side note the squirrels knows that birds not normal one squirrel tries to chase him off and he spreads his wings to scare the squirrel because the bird doesn't know how deadly his talents or beak are yet. At least the one set of talons that it has.
Any chance for a part 2?
Question, How long does the "manning" or "socialising" needs to be for a parent reared falcon before the main training programme please. Thanks.
Hi Ben. Noticed a Black Sparrowhawk at the beginning of the video. Will you be doing any videos on that specific bird?
I would love to spotlight the species. But I need to get more footage. Hopefully in the coming months I can cover it.
@@benwoodrufffalconry Thanks a lot. Will be looking forward to it.
OMG HE'S SOOOO CUTE (ok, ok, I had a *squeee* moment, don't judge me)
Great as always! Curious? How much does he weigh?
I’ll have a video on that in the next few days
0:13 Could anyone tell what this is? So massive!
Just got a 5yer old male pera x barb he’s imprint but not had much done so he with me now lotroly 24/7 for first cuple week he’s doing raily well now
How would hybrids of non conventional raptors like kites would do? How would hybrids of smaller birds like kestrels, pigmy falcons do?
I have not worked with kites personally. Other than in rehabilitation. American kites are quite small. Many kites in other countries have more potential and are sometimes flown for flight demonstrations. Micro hawking is very popular and as the world becomes more urbanized, I believe small Raptors and small hybrids will become increasingly popular. Supposedly there is something called “hybrid vigor” where hybrid birds seem more spirited and game driven.
I fully support exploring more micro hybrids.
@@benwoodrufffalconry thank you.
How do I contact the lanner breeder?
Ben, I have a question. How do you train a sparrowhawk(for example) to eat only on your glove? Like...I saw a video on yt with one bird that caught sparrows and returned back to hand to eat but I never saw that irl
I don’t normally train them to do this, but I have done it many times in years past. In the video you saw, I do not know the technique that they used. But here is what I did. I first train the bird to eat off the fast and make it more important to do so than I usually do nowadays with my birds. Then I train them to go to the Laura, and then train them to land on an ungarnished lure (no meat on it) and immediately kneel down by them with meat on the glove and they hop up with the lure. If they completely let go of the lure and don’t bring it with, then I need to get them to be moderately possessive of it so I will put a little bit of meat on or a scrap of a few feathers. Once this routine works of grabbing an object and flying to the fist, I extended the distance further and further. Eventually I switch the lure for some bagged sparrows or young quail. I did this with Kestrels and Merlins. I have a friend in Canada who has done it with a Harris hawk that she uses to patrol her vineyard. It is a matter of constantly fine-tuning things. If the bird is too fat, it is more likely to fly off with the kill. If you have too much or too little meat on the glove this can also throw things off. But it is a system that can work with many species. It just takes a few extra steps to get it to work.
@@benwoodrufffalconry Perfect explanation, thank you so much, you made it much easier than I thought it would be . I am interested in trying this with my second kestrel, an early imprint atm. Do you suggest getting to it in the first flights ?
@@Nero-yz2xv if you are doing it with a kestrel, be SURE to also train in this technique ua-cam.com/video/Mcnu_kKq3qs/v-deo.html
That will reduce the risk of the kestrel developing carrying off behavior. I would start the technique you are going for early on so that it is all the bird knows.
@@benwoodrufffalconry I learned that with my first kestrel in my early months of falconry..I didn't care much about carrying off back then since I was just flying him to the lure. But one day, the food fell of the lure while I was swinging it for the stoops...he saw that, grabbed the food and went straight up in a tree. The sun was slowly going away so after he ate, nothing could get him down. I recovered him the next morning tho but I surely don't want that level of stress again 🤣
How much did the Lanner falcon cost?
How long does it take to train a falcon?
Hi! How can I contact you for some help ?
Can falcon be trained to protect racing pigeons
How is GMO and selective breeding scene in falconry?
In the United States there are a fair number of breeders, but because our laws are so strict and inhibitive to people getting into breeding, we have not done nearly as much with exploring all that can be done with hybrids and selected bloodlines. Don’t get me wrong, that has been done in America. But Europe, Canada and the Middle East breeders have explored the possibilities much further, And I believe that is largely because of looser or nonexistent restrictions in many other countries.
OUCH
What if falcon don't show any interest in food at all ? Just bites it and doesn't swallow's it ?
Wood u say an older bird more nervous supspected imprint bird can still learn to be come part of bizzy life as in keen to be re maned every sistuashion if can understand me
Your idea of how ur bird would sound is hilarious 🤣 at least do a good Egyptian impression
Sorry brother for what happened to you. I hope you are doing well.
Dear friend i am from india. Did you collect falcon sperm. I really it for my research.
I want a falcon so bad now. I can’t stop watching falcon videos. I don’t know how I stopped before when I was a teenager. But I feel a strong connection with falcon birds and yet I know very little about them. I am probably going to talk to my parents and my brother about getting licensed for a Lanner falcon that I can train and do everything with. I think it would be so cool and so much fun. Plus I can brag to my nieces and nephew and siblings 😂 purposely make them jealous 🤣 though doing this would mean I cant have a cat anymore 🥲 but honestly who cares?! Falcons are insane gorgeous predators. And I love predators. Plus Lanner Falcons can do lots of hunting tricks, and are a nice size. 🥹
