It's varies so much because the males weights range a lot. One bird hunted at 24 oz and the other hunted at 27 oz .

When you first get the bird and you’re holding it close to your face. What stops the bird from reaching its head over and pulling out your eyeball with its beak?
@FinsandTalons 15 күн бұрын
We put anklets and jesses on the birds legs, so it can't reach up with it's feet (feet would cause the most injury). We also don't hold them real close to our face when the are newly trapped, but they aren't usually offensive, they usually only want to jus get away at first, then they start trusting us.

Hoods are such an important part of falconry, as a welfare tool as much as anything else. I have sensory issues and loud noises cause me to get overwhelmed, so I wear noise cancelling headphones. Raptors' eyes are so powerful that sensory overload in some places is inevitable. The hood makes it possible for raptors to coexist with humans! I always look forward to your videos and seeing Xena progress, keep up the good work

I was squirrel hawking the other day, when my red-tail make a b-line to a tree that was 50 feet away. I heard the constant sound of bells, which I knew she had caught something. I ran up to where she was hoping she had caught a fox squirrel. Instead she had nailed a great horned owl and they were both splayed out on their backs with their talons interlocking. I had to pry the owl's talons off of my birds feet and then toss a chick to the side to have my bird release the owl.
