Hawk's crops are amazing. My Harris' Hawks can consume 180g (F-1200g, M-800g body weight), but it takes them some time to put that down. It's hard to say how is put down into the stomach each time. But it can take 3-4 hours for sure to put it all down. This is a full quail and they are fed this large amount infrequently during the season and frequently during the molt.

Thank you for the comment When I worked at a commercial falcon breeding facility we fed quail daily during the breeding season. Outside the breeding season they were fed a maintenance diet of DOC.

Love Dr Caldwell. See him working with Kevin Richardson aka the 'Lion Whisperer' and saw the results of the way female big cats who got ovariectomies and are not fully spayed grow the manes and get more aggressive when the remnants of the ovary change. Also, the pyometra infections they get. Kevin has enormous respect for him. As do l.

This video is incredibly eye-opening! It's alarming to learn about the drastic decline of African vultures over the past 30 years. Andre Botha's insights into the importance of vultures and the urgent need for conservation efforts are both inspiring and educational. The Practical Animal channel does a fantastic job of highlighting the critical role these birds play in our ecosystems. Definitely a must-watch for anyone passionate about wildlife conservation! Great Job Mr. Beaumont

Great information and visuals! Well done! 👏 I really hope that this work goes towards the growth of the population which is essential in keeping a fine eco-balance in our mountain range. I also hope that the trapping and snaring of these beautiful cats for muti is given the highest priority and that jail sentences are given to the culprits. I also hope that Minister Creecy's Department is aware of this information and more effective and interested than they are in the baboon management field here in the Western Cape Table Mountain range. I read recently that lions and leopards don't have a taste for feline meat so perhaps in the Overberg Range, they and the leopards should exist happily.

I do agree that we should think about the welfare of the birds and dont let public views push falconrys direction. For some reason Falconers get on with the job of an age old art and conservation, and a minority of the public have energetic views which can be wrong, or not fully aware. Usually these peaple are against all animals in captivity, fish, dogs, horses, there would be no end. The problem is they protest we dont. Good interview.
