Falconry Basics | Daily Checks & Basic Handling

[@yayoatmeal]

This video is clinically relevant for many types of birds in veterinary medicine, well done!

[@MCrvngraddip2013]

Was literally thinking the same. A veterinary nurse here who has learned something new. Could you show us how you deal with their talons and beaks when they get too long? 😊

[@Racinek]

Indeed we kept cockatiels and a lot of the signs of health and illness are the same. Ours liked to preen out of place hairs too :)

[@bigbiemacaw]

its the same for all birds be they hunters or pets , I free fly macaw ..

[@Blaster53]

Blast, I am impressed with you young lady, it is incredible pleasure to listen to you because you are incredible expert and you know what is important and what not. I subscribed to your channel after seeing you earlier with your beautiful raven. Thanks for your videos, I find them very educational and that is very important for me. Best of luck and regards from Berlin.

[@boblowney]

riveting! But I cannot stop realizing how large he is on your hand! Wow! What a majestic and noble creature.

[@AnniesHours]

The wonderful thing about these videos is that even if you aren't planning on taking up falconry - you get to learn so much and get to see these fabulous birds up close and personal! Amy is Awesome!

He's a big boy. You're very knowledgeable. Your birds are very lucky to have you looking out for them.

[@tylerfox7269]

Thank you so much for posting these video's. I'm stuck in lockdown in NZ at the moment & these are my go-to soothing, calming KZbin vid's! Odd because I've never been particularly interested in birds, in fact, the word traumatized springs to mind, after being chased by a flock ( not sure if that's the right word, seemed more like a herd ) of large geese & other assorted feathered companions for my bag of bird food when I was a young teenager visiting the incongruously named "Rainbow Park". A park attendant had to rescue me from the corner I'd been bailed up in, much to my family's amusement. Maybe watching this is cathartic?! Any hoo, I just wanted to say you are SO very knowlegdeable and informative, you obviously have great respect & care for your birds, which shines through your vids. Also your presentation & voice is so calming, combined with your beautiful, enthralling birds. I'm so impressed. I've been annoying hubby by unintentionally, randomly saying "Boop Boop" today - he has no idea why! I love Fable! So just wanted to say a BIG thank you for making me smile during what is an horrific time worldwide. Stay safe, best wishes & heartfelt thoughts to you & your family & anyone reading this during Covid19 pandemic.,

[@agharameez2704]

Great video Amy. Thanks. Would really appreciate if u make such a detailed video about the manning techniques for a wild trapped bird . Have a Good day.

[@PonderingStudent]

I'm pretty sure that in the UK its illegal to trap wild birds to use for falconry, so this is probably not a video she could make.

[@agharameez2704]

@@PonderingStudent ahan..i see. Well in my country we trap wild juveniles for falconry and release in the end of the hunting season or before them getting adult. Only licensed falconers can acquire birds.

[@josi4251]

Lucky birds to have such a dedicated and knowledgeable falconer. One of the greatest privileges of my life was to hold a sleeping owl (rescued after being injured on the highway; sun came up and owl went to sleep). He was safely transported to a rescue/rehab center. I have always loved birds, grew up in the woods surrounded by them, and they are amazing. What this lady does is one of my dream jobs!

Hi Thereasa, glad you enjoyed the video. How exciting for him, I hope he is able to follow his passion to the full! I will definitely do videos on manning and training, which I hope will be of help to him. Good luck!

That's one gorgeous bird. And I'm not a bird person. But these birds are so beautiful.

[@marykayryan7891]

I'd sure like to know more about you. How did you get into this? How many birds do you have? Do you travel around to shows or competitions or something. How do you "hunt" with the birds? This looks like it could be a very expensive practice. I wonder how you are able to support it. Not to be nosy. Just all so interesting. Well, done, BTW! I LOVE birds and particularly birds of prey. But also corvids.

[@csabaszucs1688]

The end of the clip, when you give your full attention to the bird, Almos sense it straight away :)) Where from the name Almos? If you don't mind.

[@wingsandwildlands]

From Hungarian meaning "dream"

What a beautiful operation you've made...my goodness. Betty bathes in her water dish. It is too small but it is what she's had 13 years before I took over her care. I've tried leaving shallow unspillable dishes of water but she doesn't use them. How can I entice her to try a different bathing tub? When she bathes in the water bowl, water goes everywhere. I put towels down of course. Oh, she is a Congo African Grey, 27 years old and her water bowl is 3 1/2 inches by 2" deep. I don't know how she gets a decent bath. When I had a shower she'd shower with me. I have to keep topping off her water bowl. Thank you so very much.

[@livjsp]

Great video! Almos is wonderful

[@runwiththerunners8152]

This is brilliant. If possible (unless you have already done it) do a video coping a beak? Thank you for posting really enjoyable.

I just subscribed to your channel! I love animals and I like to learn new things about them especially birds of prey. Your channel is very informative it's really great. Somehow, I find him very cute. Every time you pointed at his feet he seemed to be curious about it too it was almost like "why are you pointing at my feet what's wrong with my feet?"

[@Emon7543]

is the Peregrine at :18 holding its wings down for drying or regulating heat? seems unusual, never seen that.

[@Lowlandlord]

Hmm, cool stuff, parrots have a file on the inside of their upper beak (really), so mine sits around grinder the lower part all the time, the upper is the problem. He mostly looks after it, but every few months I need to help him get some of the old stuff off, really just at odd positions. My previous parrot never really learned that stuff, vet had to file it down the same as her talons, she also never learned to fly. She was four when we got her and had some issues, loved her, miss her.

[@Rusty_Gold85]

Its good they dont pay attention to your right hand waving as you talk and the camera lens reflection . Its that due to training or their long distance eyesight ? Also would the dirt and fur ( like from a wild kill ) be helpful for their gut ?

[@stefank264]

What do you think about biothane for furniture???

[@ornithologydude8649]

[@LindaEll89]

When I aproach birds, waterbirds in my case, I shake myself also like them and immitate the stretching of the wings with my arms/ hands, they react like" okey you look different but you are at ease with me/us." Especially with swans * mute) with their youngs I'm then no treath for them and feed them some grass. You have beautiful birds. ☀️🇳🇱

[@bamboosa]

Amazing. It is the same here in Hollywood - some folk have a tendency to focus aggro - as the kids say - attention on those who appear weak, I call it the Predator Syndrome. I was suckerpunched by a tweaker (methamphetamine addict) two-an-a-half-months ago because I forgot to hide my anxiety and it showed in my walk. To walk with anxiety in Hollywood is to invite unwanted attention and the kid saw my weakness of the moment. When walking (I am 66 and I walk for transportation with occasional bus) I need to adjust my tempo to my state of being - if I am feeling low energy then the walk must be slow and steady - "steady" is the strength in the walk. Just because Hollywood currently looks like a ghosttown is no reason to exhibit weakness as the people out on the streets are particularly nervous (ones with homes) and some street folk are particularly aggro due to lack of food - the bins have no food or water for the last three weeks and many street people have reached the point of expressing the fact that they have nothing to lose in attacking an old man, for instance. One of our local residents is the redtail hawk and I have no finer role model. When a murder of crows is squawking and harassing and dive bombing a redtail that has sauntered into crow territory the redtail does not respond to the crow behavior if there is no direct contact between birds. If a crow dive bombs the redtail will flash a talon and discourage the crows attack. Smooth operator doesn't begin to describe how cool redtail behavior is. I have never seen a hawk act awkwardly away from the nest. In the nest, occasionally a redtail will misstep on a ledge and then instantly recover and say, "I meant to do that to test you". Again, I have no finer role model for living in an aggro community. Thank you for this fine channel.

Is falconry a paid job or just a hobby . I'm just wondering because I want to do ornitholigy and I think I could do falconry during college or just having it as a hobby. Also brilliant videos they teach me alot my fave bird is a white faced owl I've held quite a few birds of prey. keep up the great work

[@yaz1517]

It’s just a hobby but you can turn it into a paid job (pest control, school visits, displays)

[@Eric-kb2xt]

What is the process of coping? Is it something you do manually with an instrument, or something you put in the cage for the bird to use? Is it difficult to get a bird to comply with a chopping session?

[@armourdillo1236]

From what I've been told it's very similar to trimming a mammals or even your own nails. You can cut them to a certain point without them feeling anything but if you go too far and cut into the quick (probably the wrong spelling?) It will hurt and probably bleed.

[@tracyrain4941]

Ive seen parrot and tortoise beaks trimmed with a Dremel. Maybe something like that or some kind of file would do it.
