Ben, I have watched almost all of your videos and wish you would do a video in which you share your setup...show your mews, introduce us to your birds, etc. Has this been requested before or have you ever considered a video like that?

One of his birds was stolen and his mews burglarized. He may be hesitant to show that now. His best peregrine ever was released or escaped from the pos who broke into the mews and was photographed with jesses on him and the photo went viral. Mr. Woodruff probably wont do that.

Good evening Ben, there is no legal capture of predators from the wild population in our country. Therefore, falconers focus on predators imprinted or bred by parents. And the second difference is between predators hacked or raised in the aviary. Predators hacked are very similar to wildly caught predators. Excellent video.

So from what it sounds like, falconry with a passage bird you trap and release is akin to giving that bird a big scholarship (a safe shelter against weather, vet care against illness, and food whenever hunting is poor) to help it through “bird college” (a.k.a the year where it hones its flying and hunting skills and struggles to survive long enough to be an adult) as long as it fulfills the terms of the scholarship (by being your working bird!)

How does it work with a passage migratory bird, though? Here in eastern Idaho, I would imagine trapping a bird in September/October would leave only weeks before they need to be released to migrate. Or do you spend a winter training, hunt for a summer, then release them?

Hi Ben.. I'm really intrigued by the 'family' bird. You say this stage is magic, but you only briefly talk about it. Can you elaborate on this stage? What their mindset is, why this is such a great time to take. How to take. What to do after the take? Would really be appreciated, thanks!

Where I lived (Mainland China) keeping raptor is almost completely illegal so most people practicing falconry is illegal and birds are nearly always wild because basically no one is breeding them. While in Taiwan they have a completely different set of law from Mainland and they could only keep captive bred ones which I am actually very jealous about lol.

That is unfortunate that Mainland China does not allow it. China has such a rich heritage and history in falconry.

Hey Ben, these are great videos. I understand that by no means are any of the animals that you work with considered pets, however, I wonder if Falconers ever experience an emotional attachment to the birds they are training. As a non-falconer it seems like the releasing of a bird that one has invested so much time in would be difficult.

I'm not Ben but I am a falconer, and a lifelong animal steward. It's a great privilege to release a capable, versatile bird back to her wild world. When we commit to an animal, it can only end so many ways: we die, they die, or the animal leaves. After burying many, many loved animals, the opportunity to watch one fly off free is a beautiful one.

just like @Elizabeth Kaufman , i am also a falconer and i would want to share my views that we (Pakistani falconers) love our birds just like our children. we here have migratory goshawks and sparrow hawks which cannot survive the harsh summer of our region so our love for them demands us to set them free in to wild. afterall they or some of their brothers come to us next year

Your comments on haggards not being used for hundreds of years is incorrect. They were still used regularly on Europe up to the mid seventies. I had Lanners, luggers and a haggard peregrine in the seventies. Read Mavrogordato, Falcon in the field as one reference.

Hi Ben, I have to disagree with your thoughts on the origins of falconry. Putting food on the table by hunting with birds of prey is super inefficient. If you had one trained bird you could easily spend half a day hunting with zero results and you still have to feed the bird. People with the skills to trap and train a falcon would easily provide more food per day by directly trapping it. I think it is much more likely it started as a sport and status symbol for those with the time and money to do it.
@michaelcho3564
@michaelcho3564 2 жыл бұрын
I both agree and disagree, I think it widely depends on the species. Say a falcon I doubt would be able to provide super consistent food on the plate and I believe would likely have been a sport or show of affluence, but a goshawk for example would be excellent at such a purpose. Goshawk even have the nickname "cook's hawk" due to how proficient they were at putting meat on the table. Goshawk can hunt pheasant, rabbit, squirrel, duck, goose, and doves and they have extreme success.
