Falconry: HOW TO TRAIN A GOSHAWK . A film by Dave Sharpe

[@5pintwonder869]

Brilliant video mate I always wanted a goshawk friends had them

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Thank you

[@PeterMD100]

You make training a Goshawk look easy even when it’s going wrong 🫣 I wonder how many people will watch the video and think “I can do that!”. Great video

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

If I can they can ; but research needed! My first gos wasn’t too easy hehe

[@PeterMD100]

Ha! I’m new to falconry (but have had a keen interest for 30 plus years) and have done a lot of research, along with this video I think it reaffirms this amazing bird is not for me yet!

[@davidhuth5659]

That was great to watch! It brought back memories of my first redtail, especially getting footed for the first time. The difference was, I was more nervous than the bird while you were cool as can be. Congrats! She's a beauty!!

The hour and 20 mins 'flew' by watching this. Giving me the itch for my Gos, his last 2 tails are almost grown, a few more days.

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Enjoy the season!

[@alfiewhippet.]

Looking forwards to watching her progress through the season.

[@lynziloopot]

Another superbly honest video- thank you. She is stunning

[@stephenpower6616]

Great Video as always Dave. Matches my experience with my PR male Goshawk Blitz. Anyone with Experience with a PR Goshawk knows just how intense the tiny steps are that take time to build a good relationship are!! I always see imprint Goshawk vids but very Rarely see PR training, Sums up the Goshawk mentality, ever on edge with a dash of hyper Focus and a splash of Heatseeking razer shap, explosive Hunting Power ... amazing when it all comes together but very time consuming and sometimes downright frustrating!! Keep up the good work can't wait to see her Progress 👍👍

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Cheers and deffo keep progress coming here !

[@richielatham414]

Well done Dave great to see have a great season ❤

[@NS-hy7gg]

A brilliant video Dave. Thank you for all the time and effort that goes into making them. Even us oldies can learn something new from them. Very much appreciated.👍

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Thank you

[@JamiesRaptors]

Cracking video Dave! Made it look easy 🤣 especially parent reared

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

It’s not over yet hehe, having to make some more adjustments this week! Thanks for that tho

[@JamiesRaptors]

@@falconry.davesharpenatureboy it's a constant battle with a gos 🤣 but when you get it right. My god it feels good! Tbh I've really done well with my first parent reared gos. Got her first pheasent second time free, we'll mannered and got a really good bond

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

@JamiesRaptors nice one!

[@Thewelshhawker]

Well done Dave and great video 👍👍

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Thank you

[@freebirdofreason1994]

Brilliant watch, great to see the progress you managed to achieve within the first couple of days, a beauty for sure.

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

More work needed tho at mo as recall gone weak!

[@CCarty1984]

Fantastic video, thoroughly enjoyed that! Great to see her journey thus far and see how you handle each scenario. Also, well done for embracing the new tech! The Mic alone, has transformed the viewing experience! Well done Sir 👍

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Actually it stops the wind noise etc but is out of synch so I found it more excruciating

[@CCarty1984]

@falconry.davesharpenatureboy just blame it on Science, light does travel faster than sound after all... 🤣🤣 Haha, I guess you will always be your worst critic, but honestly, it's fantastic content that's extremely well presented, and it keeps you hooked! New mic setup is definitely a step in the right direction 👌 As always, looking forward to more 😎

[@KevinKevin-pw2lx]

That alula winding me up. As you said probably won't effect the flight of the bird too much. But I all ways want my bird too lucky perfect. just as you said same as a little scratch on a new car. Good luck with her

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Yes I wasn’t sure , but deffo didn’t affect her flight noticeabley at least

[@rouleurcoaster]

Fantastic.

[@burtuch13]

Спасибо большое за советы про капюшон! У меня такой же ястреб , но с очень невным злым характером , и мне помог ваш совет. Спасибо!!

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Superb and good luck

[@LewisWilson-z5g]

Great video although I thought it was Ann summers party at one point 😂

[@rookbirdblues]

Might be Marmite, but I think the Albidus goshawks are just the most beautiful birds maybe ever. An absolute dream bird for sure, no way I can fly a gos in my current situation, but Accipiters were the bird of choice for my ancestors in the Medieval era. Some of them lived in Siberia, I do imagine that one of them flew a white goshawk at least at some point. Great stuff, and so much important information in this video. ETA: I hate to inform you that hippos are in fact omnivoristic, and will actively hunt other animals! Worst of both worlds haha

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Now I’m never going to Africa!!! Hehe thanks for the input

[@dennislorenz7709]

Hi Dave, thanks for sharing this video, I enjoyed it very much. Out of curiosity, what size hood does she wear? Thanks Dennis

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Checked and no size inside ! So I don’t know ….

[@dennislorenz7709]

@@falconry.davesharpenatureboy ok, thanks for the reply

[@OnBetamax]

Have already read Aplomados and Harris Hawk books that you have shared so far. I might never have a bird but found them really interesting. Which books would you recommend for goshawks? Thanks!

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

Hmmmm I’m actually stumped on that one , they are out there but don’t think I have any specific to the species , oddly

[@williampinchers]

I THINK THERES A FEW VETS WHO CAN TIE BACK THE ALLULA FOR YOU DAVE.

[@falconry.davesharpenatureboy]

I did wonder and even thought about doing it myself early on, she’s flying perfect luckily tho

[@MegaTerryNutkins]

The length of that train you can see at around the hour mark is ridiculous!
