The "acorn" type bells were created by Pete Asborno decades past. His workmanship was superb and, because of their construction, bells on opposite legs had different pitches.

[@WildlifeCommandCenter]

Yes, I'm 56 and my hearing is not what it used to be so having the different tonals helps me keep up with the birds, especially when I have three in the woods at the same time. Pete Asborno was a true craftsman, I'm never come across any of his bells.

[@WildlifeCommandCenter]

@Alex Roberts jingle all the way

[@renaudverdiere]

Brilliant stuff nicely put together"

[@WildlifeCommandCenter]

We have an excellent camera/dP/editor name Cole Hieronymus

[@ehiggins7476]

Fascinated by Hawks and learning all I can about them. What's the purpose of hunting squirrels? Population control? Just curious. Thanks for the awesome content!

[@WildlifeCommandCenter]

Food, for the hawks and for myself, better than killing chickens

[@nuneaguayo3466]

Love your videos!! I like the knowledge!! I would suggest a thread zap, 12 bucks at hobby lobby or Amazon. So that way there is no open flame around feathers!! Keep up the great work!!

[@WildlifeCommandCenter]

That is a great idea!

[@jikulemendik5464]

Nice creativity

[@WildlifeCommandCenter]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@lowlightevangelist9431]

When the fella bit the string thought he was going to try to bite thru. Almost turned off the video before he lost a tooth.... whew. Prolly a heat shield would work When applying flame near the feathers.

[@UTAHtheN0bleBirthright-]

Will that legwarmer skirt floof grow back over time? And how cold is too 🥶 cold for them to be out hunting w/o it?

[@WildlifeCommandCenter]

yes, it will. Harris hawks don't do well below 25 degrees. they pretty much let you know they aren't going if below 25.

[@AndreBarnettJohnson]

Getting those bells on looks challenging, yet beneficial. I saw photos of squirrel chaps covering so much of a hawk's foot looking like a leather skirt.

[@WildlifeCommandCenter]

Yes, they do look like skirts, just too much for the HH's, I like to run them lean!

[@ceankrooster_94]

sorry how about the black wing kite around 1 month old (Elanus caeruleus) suddenly paralyzed

[@ceankrooster_94]

sorry i’m new about falconry

[@WildlifeCommandCenter]

Kites typically do not make great Falconry birds

[@ceankrooster_94]

@@WildlifeCommandCenter why? then just release him when he’s independent yaa

[@M.WinklerProductions]

this bell might not work for me. do they have anything like this for the hearing impaired? gps or blinking light?

[@WildlifeCommandCenter]

Yes, both are available, the GPS systems are especially useful !

[@teddiliza]

I am horrible at handling superglue ...and with feathers nearby oh no!

[@WildlifeCommandCenter]

Dont worry, I always end up gluing a few feathers and fingers together!

[@teddiliza]

@@WildlifeCommandCenter Question: Is trimming the 'floof' optional? I understand needing to clear the base of the deck feathers to tie on the bell, but can I just rubber band the floof out of the way while doing it, so my bird can keep their leg warmers?

[@WildlifeCommandCenter]

@@teddiliza absolutely in colder climates certainly, however if you keep breeding hawks it’s good to move the extra fluff out of the way of “other” things

[@stanhill3980]

Camera should have did a close up

[@WildlifeCommandCenter]

yeah, you learn as you go. thanks for commenting
