I live the costume changes per era, her knowledge and anecdotes about the subject make this video great to watch

Gosh falcons and hawks are just so beautiful and they're big eyes are so cute even if they could just quickly rip my face off. Amazing creatures. Thanks for this interesting video.

Ah, that takes me back! I used to do a lot of falconry years ago, mainly flying a wonderfully loyal Harris hawk and a beautiful Ferruginous hawk, although I've flown quite a few others as well in my time. Your documentary really lifted my spirits, thanks! đź’›

looks up falconry places near me Thank you for such an informative video! I've always loved birds of prey, and I love English Heritage!

The historical costuming/clothing in this video is soooo good! Perfectly fitted and fitting to the said era’s. Hats of on that. I have my chicken and she makes for a lousy bird of prey. But I’m mostly training my horse to be okay with flapping birds. One day perhaps I’ll dive deeper into the art of falconry. This video is a treasure of information.

I went to a Bird of Prey Day in 2019. It was very different but the birds were the same doing the same things . I love all birds particularly owls . I really enjoyed the video and thanks for the walk through history.

Beautiful Video! Thank you! There's historical \ reenactment falconry in Germany as well and as I love medieval fairs, I've seen quite a few wonderful displays with these amazing creatures. Each time a treat! I was also able to hold a smaller falcon and a young owl once and I can definitely see the appeal! It's a very special feeling to be trusted by such majestic entities!

Reminds me of a Falcon rescue I looked after for awhile when I was younger. Since then I’ve yearned for one but I can’t justify getting a couple since I don’t have much time to dedicate to their care and exercise. Perhaps in a few years I’ll be able to do so.

falcon goes SQREAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKK. id love to imagine the peoples reaction when they saw him with a tamed hawk. the reaction must be priceless

Very interesting! I wish you had mentioned Emperor Frederick II of Hohenstaufen but I understand this is more so about the British Isles. If anyone searches his book "De Arte Venandi Cum Avibus" here on Youtube, the first result is a wonderful facsimile of the emperor's highly detailed and scientific book on falconry.
