[@danwagner5409]

That's so awesome!

[@mohammadimani5852]

Very professional😍

[@barnabyandanthonysofficial1497]

Fabio enjoys a vole almost sounds like a Dr. Seuss title :) P.S. Love the falconry brooch!

[@falconrywithkai]

Ay yes, he did very good today with the vole

[@barnabyandanthonysofficial1497]

I love dr. Seuss btw, I meant it as a compliment :)@@falconrywithkai

[@falconrywithkai]

@@barnabyandanthonysofficial1497 you can see him just swallow the end of the vole somewhere in the video. Idk minute mark bit its there😂. He swallowed it whole

[@barnabyandanthonysofficial1497]

yeah Dr. Seuss left that part out ;) but reminds me of how Ferruginous hawk can just scarf things down whole no problem :) @@falconrywithkai

Fabio is really cool, like an imprint but without the typical imprint behavior problems. Kai should consider going out with a long stick to whack the bushes and stir up hidden bunnies. Cottontails hunker down when predators approach, it's their main defense. They keep so still that anyone could be easily fooled into walking right by and never noticing. But if you beat the bushes as you walk, you may flush a dozen bunnies in even a small clearing. Fabio would appreciate the help. Falconry is a partnership, right?

Haha yes in hunting season we are out and about. He doesnt hunt rabbit though which has slowed us down. Hes up for molt now while I take care of some medical things that came up anyway. 🙂 He has caught many birds though when we flew this season. Almost caught a chuckar as well

[@enscroggs]

@@falconrywithkai Chuckars are very fast and a challenge even for a goshawk. I hope you gave him a good feed just for trying.

[@falconrywithkai]

@@enscroggs I sure did! He ended up with a fistfull of feathers 😁. Recovered him off the chase about 1/4 mile into the woods

[@oldschoolhawking8191]

Do you have any rabbits around there?🤔🐇

[@falconrywithkai]

We do, fabio only hunts birds though. Pigeons or larger primarily

03:03 he really does not look happy about the temperature Thanks for the birb footage

[@falconrywithkai]

He was quite upset over the cold weather. Hes a desert bird so likes the heat more
