Falconry Diary | Cloud the Goshawk | Part 2

[@antprice8826]

I so miss all of this, I’m 66yrs old and disabled now but I have lovely memories of my Falconry past, thank you so much for these videos, I’m as excited as you are watching the birds progress 💕

[@LP-ht4nr]

You make lovely videos, really informative and relaxing to watch.

[@wingsandwildlands]

Thank you - I try to make it interesting to everyone. A chance to chill in a crazy unpredictable world x

[@nikkired4925]

Exactly. Made my blood pressure come down 😂😊

[@zimtt1276]

You are such a joy to watch. You have a natural calm that comes through so wonderfully on your videos. Even though I originally came for Fable, I am excited to see all your videos and I'm developing such an interest in falconry, and all your teachings. Thank you.

[@strawberrylover1684]

Same! I love it :D

[@luminair11]

Me too!

[@fennburcham5739]

I was having a panic attack and couldn't find a way to calm down. Between this video and a bunch of frog TikToks I'm good again now :)

[@Dean.Hilleary]

Just don't combine the two - then it's just frogs having panic attacks. For the record I totally relate, it's just easier to hide things with poor form attempts at humor.

[@ShizoMoses]

@Dean Hilleary It was a benign joke (humour from community, not superiority) and you explained right after. I liked this entire exchange. Very wholesome, thanks for that! Have a good one! @Johny Burcham I personally watch ducks or seals. I might give frogs a try now, maybe there's untapped potential there. Have a good one, as well!

[@Fredwilson45]

Things suck right now. This channel makes things a little a less sucky just so you know

[@suewilson1801]

True! I watch this,and a raccoon Whisperer in Nova Scotia. No tv. No news, too depressing.

[@serioushex3893]

why do i feel like cloud is like "huh, i dunno about this scale" and fable would be like "wheee, it bounces up and down!"

[@6falconsue]

Hex I think Fable would try to take the weights and hide them with his treasures :)

[@catzkeet4860]

Well, ravens are much smarter than raptors.....no shade on Cloud, raptors don’t NEED the brains of a Corvid, since they’re designed to hunt for their food.....sight it and attack rather than forage thru various types of environments, with all the attendant issues that can arise. Play.....using imagination to use things for other than their intended purpose, for fun, is both a result, and an indicator of intelligence. This is why the raptors can be put out to weather and be perfectly content. They have things to watch, they have sun and rain and wind, water and they’re happy. Fable tho, needs all the toys, and company, and activity around her to keep her mind occupied, because she’s always thinking, always investigating and without any outlets for that need she would be a very unhappy creature, which she obviously is not. It’s so cool to watch Cloud developing a trust. Won’t be long before he’ll be flying at this rate.....exciting

That is so amazing to see the progress! From him not wanting to be near you and hiding his food from you to him being ok with hopping back on your hand! I can see how much you really care about your birds!!

[@s10m0t10n]

Cloud is a handsome chap and I have a feeling he's going to be dazzling us all with his abilities before too long. Another hugely informative video, Amy, thank you.

[@ThePatriotNurse]

I LOVED this and watched the entire thing. It's beautiful to watch on a big TV too. You're an inspiring lady, and I'm sure there's lot of young people watching this channel thinking, "Hey, maybe I can learn that one day!" Blessings

[@Neilhuny]

Yes! It's great quality video on a big TV

[@mattmedina9808]

I’m so glad to have come across your channel. I love the way you explain the training. Thank you.

[@wingsandwildlands]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@LeeAnnM]

It’s hard to believe this is all new to Cloud; he seems like a pro. I’m so happy for both of you!

[@MichelleLevasseur]

I've never had such a difficult time keeping my word...I wait for my partner to be free and then we watch your videos together - It was very difficult to have to wait until this morning but it was sooooo worth it! Yay Cloud! Loved seeing your silly excitement Amy - felt it with you :D I hope you truly feel how much we appreciate you, your work and your videos!

[@elizabethguy]

I am really enjoying this series! It's so heartwarming to see a wild animal slowly begin to trust a kind human, and we get to watch it up close. Thanks so much!

[@jess.elaine808]

I read "H is for Hawk" a book about the Author's journey training her own Goshawk and became fascinated by the process & the birds. I love your channel and that you're sharing Cloud's training! :) I've learned so much about falconry from your videos.

Threading the creance through that gromit is a bit of brilliance. Gonna steal that.

[@maneshwar9377]

So true about adding his two cents

I think in a couple of years, he will wear his dad's crown just fine. He seems to be a smart, laid back raptor. I look forward to watching his growth!

Thank, thank you for this beautiful relaxing video and showing us your beautiful creatures! Just what I needed on this awful day here in the US.

[@lauradaley5519]

Amazing! I live hearing the sounds he makes. That beak looks sharp.

[@catzkeet4860]

The beak isn’t the painful end, the feet are. A bird of prey doesn’t use its beak defensively or in aggression....it’s purely an eating and preening tool. The feet and the talons are the weapons.

[@MaryMac199]

And I love the lighting on Cloud over his left shoulder, good grief he is gorgeous. He also studies you as your talking to the camera, what fierce concentration

[@pascalpiqued818]

Your knowledge, understanding , empathy and love for your work is so very obvious and admirable. You are the perfect partner for the Prince's Of The Heavens. Congratulations , The Princess of all Birds of Prey.

[@phyllisbaird2423]

What a wonderful bird! Thanks for sharing.

[@antimonycup7066]

I'd be interested to know how much of your methods are hundreds of years old and how much is based on more 'modern' developments in falconry. Thank you for the video, truly fascinating to watch.

[@wingsandwildlands]

Pretty much all the methods I use have been done so for 100s of years. It's amazing!

[@Dean.Hilleary]

@@wingsandwildlands your audio and editing are pretty damn good for being such old techniques. More than a few content creators could learn a thing or two from you. You also lead to me recently learning that the Australian Magpies around here aren't actually Corvids. I think it's a credit to you that your content isn't just informative, it encourages a further pursuit of knowledge. Or, it's been done for hundreds of years but you've probably been responsible for maybe 100 000 more people being interested in knowing more about it that the total number otherwise in the last century.

[@timpanda3780]

I marvel at the relationship you’re building with Cloud....he’s magnificent and to hear his ‘voice’ is wonderful. Congratulations on what has been achieved so far and thank you for sharing this journey with us.

A young goshawk (6-7 months) stayed in a tree on my tiny Ontario farm for four days one fall. I fed him well so he had no interest in my free-range chickens and young turkeys. His beauty amazed me. All we did was sit and chat. Then he went ... south? Am not sure of their migration destinations from Canada. Thank you for showing Cloud to us.

[@BOD-ch8fp]

It’s definitely one of the best feelings ever when your bird starts to trust you fully best decision I ever made when I was 18 was to get into falconry the feeling of something needing you to keep a routine everyday and getting into the countryside got me out of a depression especially where I live with some of the best hunting ground in the whole of the uk(Scotland)

One of my all time favorite books is The Once And Future KIng by T H White which I read the first time as a kid. The scene were Wart is sent to the mews by Merlyn is just riveting, it still thrills me. It took awhile to find a copy of The Goshawk, but it was well worth the effort. Finding this gem of a video that actually let see into what I thought was a bygone world was just the best. The video is so good! I found the commentary very clear and concise. I really enjoyed the falconers calm patience and obvious respect and affection for the hawk. And that bird, Wow! I shared this with my 90 yo mom and she was so struck with how beautiful and engaged the hawk was. I can't say enough how much I appreciated this video. Thank you for sharing!

Hes a stunning little gos! I rescued a male Harris last December and have been enjoying the retraining process, though dealing with some terrible trauma and behaviour issues too, weve seen a lot of positive progress too. Loved watching the video, great production value and wonderful to see XxX

[@jessjtadesigns]

Congratulations to you and Cloud! How blessed you are to be his master🦅

[@catzkeet4860]

The relationship of a raptor to its human falconer isn’t that of master to servant, or pet. It’s partners. Yes, the human is the partner “in control” but remember, once a bird is trained, as Cloud is being, they’ll be flown free. That bird can decide to just leave. It can decide it doesn’t want to hunt. There is not a damn thing the falconer can do to MAKE a bird stay, or hunt. They can make that behaviour “easy” for the bird, but they can’t force the behaviour. These are not domesticated animals, they’re still wild.
