    Appreciate your approach at handling the bird right from the get-go, you are CORRECT in stating that the training/taming starts now. Nice technique you show.

    What a beautiful bird! Can't wait to see how she does in training, she's bigger than the one captive bred redtail I've worked with already.
    I've been really interested in Kazakh eagle falconry, apparently when they trap passage eagles they look for battle wounds to show that an eagle has already hunted and killed fox, their intended quarry. Super cool!

    • @FinsandTalons
      @FinsandTalons  3 місяці тому +1

      I didn't think she was that big when I got to her at the trap, but now that I've got her on the glove, she's pretty thick. Yes fox hunting with eagles would be sick!

    I’d like to have a pattern for those anklets, or a place to order? Taking my falconry exam next month pretty much got all furniture made but a place to attach a bell on the anklet just makes sense. If not I,ll try my luck at making a set. How many can I mess up?30?40? thanks I’m learning. An old retired guy but excited about the future with these birds.

      @@Gregory-en5kq They are a blast to hunt with! Baba Yaga on Facebook is his name if you want to reach out to him. I would recommend cheap anklets and hood first since the Red-Tails like to scratch the hood and bite the anklets for the first month or two.

    I'm having the most difficult time finding juvenile birds. I have trapped and released several hags, but it's getting to be discouraging. I never got one last year, and so far this season I've only had adult birds come to my trap.
