An often overlooked aspect is building trust. So here's some thoughts on how we can build a bond of trust with our birds and why it's important.

Thinking about and understanding our raptors psychology and natural behaviours is an important part of being a falconer as it allows us to bring out the best in our birds.

  • I love falconry because, unlike most animal-human relationships, falconry birds can just leave if they’re unhappy. That kind of mutually beneficial bond is so special, because you’re not just telling yourself that your pet is happy; them being there is proof that they’re happy.

    this is identical to good leadership advice. I should send this to my managers...
  • The algorithm gives me what I need! I wish I had the means to become a Falconer today, but there is always hope for tomorrow!
  • Your professionalism is 2ND to none, and your birds are beautiful ❤

    Your birds look in fantastic condition. I am curious about falconry and appreciate the dedication, commitment, investment and responsibility it takes. I've seen some sorry looking raptors in the past I'm afraid. Thank you for your channel. It's good to see the wonderful example you set for any thinking they might like to have a go at it.

    As a pilot, I like to watch the flying characteristics of the best, and I like their low approach and rise to your perch. Effortless airspeed reduction! Great job, thanks for sharing!
  • Falconry can teach other humans how to be better humans and how not to mistreat and abuse each other... wonderful hobby. I just wish most humans would approach relationships with each other the same way.

    I am very proud of your professionalism. I was always fascinated by these birds but sadly never had the chance to work with them.

    Thank you for your in depth information on how to build trust with birds. This morning a Red-tailed Hawk found itself trapped in my carport from the wild. The unique opportunity presented itself to take the information you share and put it to practice. Although wild, I was able to keep the Hawk calm and it was actually very light weight in my hand. When it was aware that it was clear for flight it was able to take flight from my hand and was such a surreal experience this morning. Thank you for your channel.

    Am a simple pet owner but I still learn from your videos. I just love animals and I can see that these birds are very special. Also I am amazed that people like you are able to build a relationship with these superb animals. You guys are just so special to my eyes. Love it!
  • @liisamaaritorr
    My new favourite videos to watch I just adore you and your birds

    I remember being a kid and talking with my parrot on the balcony... good times :)
  • Great to see how you do the falconers things, I learn a lot of you from the you tube . Greetings from The Neterlands.
  • This is so amazing: I’m not a “bird” person per se although I love birds! I think birds of prey and the like are beautiful to watch in action. I just don’t have that “gift” that you do and I truly believe it is both a gift and a talent to be able to work with these intelligent birds. I truly appreciate what you do and I love your posts!

    Beautiful birds and beautiful relationships built on mutual benefit. Very cool.
  • Kakav divan pedagog... Ova priča je i priča o svakom dobrom pedagoškog radu.... Logično, praktično. Identični pricipi ovog rada su i u radu sa ljudima. Hvala na trudu i posvećenosti. Inspirativno....!!!!

    All really good stuff here. Especially "always finish on a positive" that was one of the first things I was taught.
