Your guide is Journeyman Falconer Joanne Bentley, a practitioner with fifteen years experience in the handling and schooling of raptors, and her young assistant Leah Danielle, herself a student of the Art intent on deepening her understanding of the (at least) 8000+ year-old practice.
With light-hearted humour, and a gentle, informational approach to conveying the techniques of “winning” one’s Feathered-companion into first working with us, then for the eye of the camera, Jo and Leah’s desire is to inspire established and new participants, wildlife enthusiasts, birders, and the wider public to inform and teach humanity about the intangible “living human-heritage” which every one of us may lay claim to through the Art of Falconry.
Thank you for watching!

HI...Thank you for this video, and actually all of the ones I've check out so far are very instructive....I'm practicing doing Jesses right now, but I cant find the proper cream to protect the leather...with one is it you use in this video? Thank you very much and best regards from South of Spain!

[@ronposuniak942]

Dang, Jo look good! And Leah your looking fine as ever! I cut a bunch of strips of leather, when I'm doing it, so I don't have to mess with that part. Than store them., the rest is easy when I need them. Happy New Year you two fine women!

[@TheFalconLady]

That's a great idea! Keep rocking it, Ron! :) -Leah

[@freebirdofreason1994]

Hello and thank you again for your lovely video. I'm in the process of making some jesse's for my female harris hawk which I will get next year as I mentioned in another video comment I made. It may be to soon but I am practice really. My question is if I'm using 10mm eyelets how wide should the Jesse's be would it be 12mm .thank you again and I look forward to your reply. Have a nice day.

[@jantirpak7902]

Hi, you need medium-sized predators like haris 6 mm eyelets, for large predators like golden eagls 10 mm.

[@uliketurtle]

Hey Jo have u ever done a video on your sponsor when you first became a falconer? Or your start? I don't particularly remember.

[@TheFalconLady]

Hey Dominic, in our very first video Jo detailed a little bit about her experience learning falconry: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXepnqSchdB1gck To be perfectly honest, she learned from "the best negative experience" if you know what I mean. We probably won't dive into that too much in upcoming episodes if I'm honest, but if you check out our first episode above then it'll give you a little insight. :) - Leah

Do you have Celtic ancestry? I felt the vibes, lol. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@jantirpak7902]

@ falcon lady Hello, this year I want to try heating cables in bows for haris hawk. In winter it is -5 ° C to -17 ° C, with goshawks it is not a problem. I don't want to heat the entire Mews. The raptors must burn fat stores in winter and pathogenic microbes do not multiply in mews.

[@TheFalconLady]

Very interesting, please let us know how perch heaters goes! We are also experimenting with some strategic heater additions in the mews and will be creating an episode all about that soon :) -leah

[@jantirpak7902]

@@TheFalconLady Good evening, I have never used them until now, I just heard about it. They are heaters for terrariums and aquariums, and have a thermostat. I would like to use the power of 10 W and the length of 3.5 meters. Wrap it under the braid bow sitting. Temperature control is a problem. If the outside temperature is below the set temperature, the thermostat switches on. But if the predator does not shut down on the bow, because the outside temperature is still low, but the predator's legs are warm, this is the place for the greatest heat loss. First I have to find out if the predator burns his legs during a very long sitting. Therefore, the power of only 10 W. The temperature on the bow even when insulated feathers must not rise above 15 ° C. If it works, then I can use it with predators. I'm sure I'll let you know.

[@ShelliG]

Why do you need the hole in the mews jesses?

[@TheFalconLady]

The hole in the mews jesses is so that the swivel can fit through the bottom of the jesses, which connects the jesse to the leash. Check out this episode to get a really good close up of Scirocco's furniture: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHjaoJmKhbF1brc Thanks for your question, Shelli! :) - Leah

[@ShelliG]

@@TheFalconLady I meant the flying jesses...oops

[@TheFalconLady]

No worries! We actually don't want any loops or holes in the flying jesses, anything besides a smooth piece can get caught in trees which could possibly be fatal. That's why we switch out the mews jesses for the flying jesses when Mohave goes out for free flying. We have an episode coming soon in which Mohave gets dressed, which will detail the process! :) -leah

[@ShelliG]

@@TheFalconLady But you say to put a small hole in those... that is why I was asking.
