BIRDS OF PREY, FALCONRY AVIARIES, MEWS AND HOUSING. For hawks falcons owls and eagles

[@trevorgorman4844]

A walk through the Aviarys, mews & weatherings would hav been nice too ?

[@theoolivier2973]

Thanks for this. I work for a rehabilitation centre in Zambia, Africa. We specialise in orphaned elephants, but over the past few years we had to look after birds of prey and other small mammals. This year we are planning to build a state of the art rehabilitation centre and these tips in the video will help us a lot. Awesome channel!!

that's great to hear, thanks very much. keep sharing and subscribing 😊😊😊

[@tobybutler6724]

Great video, I put a light inside all my aviarys for feeding during the winter nights 👍

[@Hawk-riders]

[@Hawk-riders]

your welcome share like crazy

I like your cat🐈

[@Hawk-riders]

😂 thanks

[@biggazz3r789]

I live in England, most of the year it is cold but in winters it can be particularly cold and wet and so I have installed heated flat perches within the aviary as a method of climate control. Great video keep it up

[@Hawk-riders]

That’s a great idea, most of these birds will be living better than us at this rate 😂

[@what2watchyt]

Nice aviary. Tips apprecited.

[@Hawk-riders]

Your very welcome

[@Desert_wings]

Nice video.. covers all you need to learn if you are starting to build a mew.. 🤗🤗

[@Greyskull1988]

I think your videos mate are very educational on falconry, straight to the point and explained spot on. I will be looking to build an aviary and mews with in the next 12 months. I would really appreciate when you get some free time, if you could make a video of inside your aviaries and mews. 👍🏻 I also think you have done great with John and wick 👍🏻

[@Hawk-riders]

Hi lee really glad you like the channel, definitely share it round if you like, would you like a video on the type of perches or substrate ??, haha thanks I’ve got part 2 of there video coming out this year as well

[@Greyskull1988]

Falconry TUBE I will share the video no problem . That would be great if you could make a video on perches, I’m currently trying to soak in as much information as possible. I have been to a couple of falconry centres as well, my next step is to do a 5 day course. Then hopefully get ready for the hunting season next year 👍🏻

[@wojciechjakubiec8495]

Thanks for the video, really educational. Could you tell me what size of mesh you use in free loft ones?

[@Hawk-riders]

Thanks I’m glad you liked it, it’s all an inch on them 😃

[@wojciechjakubiec8495]

@@Hawk-riders thanks ! Really appreciate it 🙏

[@solidgold3610]

Awesome and informational video! I am studying for the falconry test right now, could you do a video where you give a tour of all your mews and aviaries?

[@Hawk-riders]

Yer sure it’s going to be a new video coming soon

[@racingeventsmotorsporthosp7280]

Hi. Interesting video. What are the dimensions of your 'hunting mews' please (as seen at c'1.45 of video) and what is the covering at the back (for ease of cleaning). Thank you. Gary.

[@Hawk-riders]

RacingEvents MotorSport Hospitality hi Gary, depends on the bird mate but I try and keep them 1 and a half times bigger than the wing span, we use hard duty laminate wood for clean it down

[@racingeventsmotorsporthosp7280]

@@Hawk-riders Thank you for your very prompt reply, appreciated. I have Female Red Tail, Harris Hawk, & Gos.

[@freeandcriticalthinker4431]

Good info , maybe consider trying to mitigate the audio echo

[@Hawk-riders]

Yer I no what you’re saying, was an old video this one

[@newfalconer6075]

Nice video

[@Hawk-riders]

Thanks so much, feel free to share

[@Ptyasm]

Hi, could you please do a video about this Steppe Eagle?

[@Hawk-riders]

Hi I would love to, but we don’t have her anymore, she’s gone into a breeding program

[@jackspringall714]

Can you explain the difference between an aviary and a free loft?

[@Hawk-riders]

There isn’t really any mate to be fair

[@jayduffy3305]

Hello what is the best mesh to use on a aviary for a harris hawk

[@Hawk-riders]

Hi jay, I think we use 12 gauge 😀

[@jayduffy3305]

Thanks for your help do you know what then best falconry books are i can have read of just getting in to it thanks

[@Hawk-riders]

It’s ok there isn’t really many good books these days there all pretty old

[@jayduffy3305]

Cool no problem thanks For your help

[@Zombie_Longwinger]

@@jayduffy3305 Falconry & Hawking by Phillip Glasier (This will teach you everything you need to know) and Observations on Modern Falconry by Ronald Stevens ( It will explain Manning and Hooding) both of these are old but the knowledge is timeless.

[@kinggkyee6861]

Hi joll😃

[@TeamAvode]

Mesh can ruin falcons tail feathers if they climb up it

[@Hawk-riders]

Indeed it can, bars work well in that case 😃

[@TeamAvode]

@@Hawk-riders yes I use broom handles and they work fine
