One more word of advice if its a long wing when the time comes do not fry to feed it off the glove or you will end up with a night mare
Ya there is a cord that runs down the spine if you disconect it the screaming will stop.lol just kidding. You could try increasing the food. Run the food through w sassage grinder or mince it up put...
I went to elementry school next to the almaden winery in san jose, a long time ago. i used to go up and down the street lifting the lids on the water meters and catch tiger salamanders.
Traping,manning,hunting, thats a direct hit, in the end that is as simple as it gets and thats what it is all about.
Getting an eyass not to scream or mantle is no great task same with a passage bird believe it or not there are lots of falconers that have well behaved birds and kids take me and my kids for instance...
Dillon i respect your take on these matters. But you say you read all these books and devoured the info but did you ever see their birds in the field. Its easier to write a perfect falcon than to...
Thats a cool video, but i seriously hope that the theory wild raptors dont mantle was not based on this video.
falcons and hawks do not have to consider you as another bird of pray to feel you are a threat. I do agree that the falconer should be looked at as a safe place to be and in no way to,be a threat....

So dillon how long have you ben a falconer, just courious.
Dillon here are a 2 cases that have happend to me several times both,on a lure and on a kill what about when a wild peregrine comes in and circles 20 to 30 ft above your bird with you standing 3 to...
Dillon,i respect yoir thoughts but to say birds the wild do not mantle is way off base. Manteling,iw a natural instinct that you and no body else can ever curve. some birds are going to have this...
I remember the gdood ol days when i used to man birds and it was a fairly simple process it seems any more i skip the maning process and go right into training. As far as a bird manteling on a kill...
By the way that bird in his first yr looked identical to the bird in the middle of this site
I am not sure if this is what you are looking. I imprintet a for the sake of argument a gyrxbarbary but in my opinion he is gyrxperegringe all the way. Any way i flew him for a few yrs and to yrs ago...
