Can You Pet a Falcon?

Published 2023-09-08
🦅 Ever wondered if you can pet a falcon? In today's video, we're diving into the fascinating world of falconry to answer that very question! Meet Dolph and Churro, our two adorable American Kestrel falcons, each with their own unique personalities and preferences when it comes to human interaction.

👉 Dolph is an imprint bird, meaning he was raised by humans from a very young age. As a result, he's more comfortable with human touch and interaction.

👉 Churro is a passage bird and she was captured from the wild as a juvenile. She has a different perspective on being petted and is generally more reserved.

📌 What You'll Learn:
- The difference between imprint and passage birds in falconry
- How Dolph and Churro react to being petted
- Tips for safely interacting with falcons

    The fact that Churro accepted you as a hunting partner ... That is something I never thought would happen.
  • @bladebrown7342
    I never thought I'd be so interested in this, but man im enamored
  • @sgm7013
    I hadn't realized how tiny they are. They are adorable little killers doing important work. 🥰
  • @Strattou
    They're both so cute, and Dolph is so peepy!!
  • @SaudBako
    Thank you for not making this a 25 minute monologue
  • @heidi22209
    Im a bird lover. Watching your lil friends take out starlings brings me so much joy. This was adorable to meet them in person vs mobile projectiles! ❤ awww...
  • @williezer0
    bro, I appreciate the direct information, many other youtube channels would stretch all the information you shared in this over an 8 minute video with over editing, thanks man!
  • @mgpBLARG
    Omg, I need more. I can't see myself actually getting into falconry, (too poor) but I need to live vicariously through you
  • @KingsDaughter.
    Oh my gosh they are super adorable!!!! I dont know why YT suggested me to watch Dolp catching a leaf, but that was funny 😂
  • @FU-Utube
    These videos providing a light into falconry is very cool. Nice to learn what an imprint bird is, you had mentioned that Dolph was an imprint to me in a short, but I had no real understanding of what that was.
  • @Boba_And_Scusi
    Fascinating - seriously. I love Churro and Dolph. Birds are so unreal! ❤❤❤
  • @daniell1483
    It is amazing to me how much birds (and animals in general, really) can adapt to tolerate interaction with humans. To understand such an abstract thought really demonstrates how intelligent these falcons are. Blows me away.
  • @Jussi-pu4vw
    I absolutely love falcons. Keep these videos coming
  • @H1GH.FL1Y3R
