American kestrel training

[@alanjohnson2662]

Such lovely birds. My experience as a young teenager raising a male chick, they are loyal to their person. After initially training mine to come using treats, I never needed to use treats when he was an adult to get him to come to me. He could be hundreds of yards away, and he would fly to me when I blew a whistle.

[@kadeendallas5470]

This reminds me of a book I read called "A kestrel for a knave". Great book. Its about the bond of the boy and the kestrel, the training and journey.

very very very good job and very good explanation of the training course with all the details including the weight.

[@berserker96]

[@wyattwalth4612]

When you were swinging that sack attached to string I thought it was the Kestrel 😂😂😂

[@tiborjokovi5257]

[@paumasia475]

Nice vídeo!!

[@Red-Tempest]

I did free fly training with my cockatiel and this is like how I trained her

[@chrispomianek3470]

Do they normally catch on so quickly?

[@Anxiouslydisengaged]

What kind of whistle are you using here? I have sports whistles but don't like them as much as the one you are using here.

[@NebulousArray]

He's very pretty. Do you ever take him out to big feilds to do releases?

[@macwooten9263]

Awsome

[@brandonmundis4018]

How much do you feed him per day?

[@demibrinkhuis9261]

Vet cool man

[@Hanzofalconry94]

Oke okee👍

[@andreagalli9030]

Great work, I hope my owls will become like this kestrel

[@rocketraccoon9898]

You own owls!? I remember wanting one after watching guardians of Ga'hool but then I got into kestrels

[@andreagalli9030]

@@rocketraccoon9898 yep, actually one aftican owl and one Siberian. No regrets, I think they are better than hawks for amateur falconry. My first owl was named Soren..

[@HASSANAVES]

helpful

[@Latkins1989]

nice video how old is the kestrel in this video

[@stephaniepierce2136]

probably 8 years old

[@tiborjokovi5257]

Thank you, sorry for the late respons, in the video he's three years old

[@alexispadilla2606]

do you not need a glove for him?

[@tiborjokovi9411]

No not really, he's really small. It only hurts if one of his nails goes under my nail.

[@tiborjokovi5257]

one day old chicks

[@user-sk9lg3xx9x]

حركات باشق يحسبه صقر شكله هههههههه

[@waynekieft4952]

Never ever tie a creance down,if that bird jerks he will break his legs!

[@davidhollfelder9940]

I would have thought he’d be using a glove.

[@tiborjokovi5257]

Indeed grip is rather soft. Although it hurts when one of its nails go under your cuticle.

[@tiborjokovi5257]

I also think its a good idea to use a glove from the beginningon. So the bird is focused more on the glove instead of a hand, now its hard for me to touch him without he wanting to eat something from my hand. ''A lot'' of people breed them, so by searching via google and facebook it won't be hard to find kestrels
