Falconry in action with Gunny the hawk

[@goshawk1974]

You know what, this Falconer might make a couple of mistakes verbally, but his Red-Tail is in perfect shape. Feather perfect. That's a sign that he takes good care of that bird. To me, this is a good Falconer. Kodos Mark! LATE!

[@ReddJedi378]

hello sir i enjoyed the clip how do i get started in this hobby

[@locolobos0035]

What you call "broadwings", also called Buzzards, are in the genus Buteo, and what you call true hawks are Accipiters. They're both considered "hawks", though. So falcon, hawk, owl, eagle. if you're gonna consider there to be five I'd say Ospreys are a separate group.

Could you Train a Vulture in Falconry?

broadwing, falcon, true hawk, owls, eagle - thats five?

[@Garner557]

if a pesant were to take up flconry in the middle ages he was not limited to only one species of raptor he could of flown several different birds and the hobby and the kestrel would have both been a choice he could have taken he could also chose a sparrow hawk or a goshawk only the large long wings i.e. peregirine and gyr falcons, eagles, and merlins (for the ladies) were reserved for royalty.

[@Garner557]

you forgot the harriers

Are you sure that the Hobby was the bird they had if they were broke? I thought it was the Kestrel - hence the term "a kestrel for a knave!"
