Great jesses! They work on pigeons and kestrels very well, but I don't have an x-acto knife, so I used scissors (pinching the paracord and cutting along the edge), which was even easier! I am excited to make some for my new kestrel. I make smaller leashes and jesses but they are light enough for kestrels and tangle-free. I used 100 feet of paracord making these for my friends' pigeons... Highly recommended! (Yes, I put jesses on pigeons. for practice! Pigeons are stronger than kestrels and are excellent testers!)

Io sono italiano seguo fin all'inferno queto canale e lo amo veramente spero di vedere ancora nuovi video semplicemente spettacolare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@crowhawk6626]

Tap washers. The little rubber washers sold in hardware shops for sealing bathroom taps, make excellent buttons for parachord & braided jesses.

[@ArgieFalconry]

Great idea! I always did mine with leather and just now ive tried some braided ones. Paracprd seems like the way to go tbh.

[@rajayaqubkhan9908]

Brilliant.

[@RylanStone]

I'll have to make a video of how i make mine, but yours seems simpler. I have used para-cord on my red-tail with no button just a knot. It seems to work great. Beautiful bird by the way. Can't wait to see her hunt.

[@jesustiyacau]

Gracias por tan buena información y felicidades, espero poder observar mas de estos vídeos.

[@falconersapprentice9837]

I used Google translate for this, so excuse any errors! Usted es bienvenido y gracias por mirar! Me alegro de que disfrute de mis vídeos, estad atentos porque vienen más!

[@falconhunting4456]

cool!

[@Marianoenparapente]

es genial!

[@thelastfalconer]

Can you make a video about attaching the paracord jesses and leash

[@user-of9kq5zp3s]

good👍👍👍👍

[@doraparrot2066]

Have to be better than the day of my life in the past week but I have been a better person and have

[@MARCVSXVII]

Greetings from Italy! Thanks for the tutorial! I have a question for you: Which type of Para-Cord did you use? Sorry for any error but my English isn't very good :D.

[@FalconryTold]

Hello MARCVXVII! Thanks for watching! I believe that was 550lb 7 strand paracord, hope that helps!

[@MARCVSXVII]

Thanks for the answer and good Hawkings!

[@callmebadger4914]

@@FalconryTold can i use the : atwood rope mfg tactical paracord rg1151 Its 3/32 inch = 2.4 mm wide And has 4 strands I am sure its not strong enough for eagles and such But if i use it on: kestrel(falco tinnunculus) Or maybe sparrowhawk or goshawk Do you think it would work out? Iam curious because i originally wanted the 550lb one But i somehow screwed up the order and got this one instead I dont want to risk to lose all my precious feathered friends so iam asking first Thank you in advance Greetings from slovakia 🦅

[@ConnorHoyt]

How did you attach them to the swivel?

[@ryananthony2397]

Man. I need to get me one of those lol! Tons of starlings around here. But I am in Arizona so I have a female Harris instead. Maybe I'll try to find and pull an eyass this year.

[@amandastaffa8514]

Would this kind of jess and leash be appropriate for an American Kestrel?

[@cockatiels31]

Could you make a video on how to make para corn anklets

[@micahswett2505]

No... just NO

[@brockfitzpatrick8288]

I have a young North American Kestrel and wondered if you would still use para-cord?

[@9amma]

yes

[@altheachiara6707]

Are its strong enough for eagle?

[@giannigiorgi9971]

Where do you get youre paracord from

[@KitisTheMandalorian]

would these work for a Kestrel?

[@TheVeganMarshmallow]

Would you recommend these for a red-tail (male or female?) I love the seeming lightness and strength, but was curious how it would hold up with a 700-800g bird

[@falconersapprentice9837]

You can buy thicker paracord, which I would for a larger bird. If you tether your bird a lot, paracord is a stress reliever. If you like to fly your hawks light, paracord flying jesses are very popular.

[@KnottingKnots]

The outer sheath of 550 type paracord is rated at around 200 lbs tensile strength if I recall correctly

[@jackdaniels7913]

I thought the point of thin leather was to rot and fall off if your bird decides to return to the wild well out in the field or back yard...

[@tristenludewick3030]

That's the goal of leather anklets.

[@jackdaniels7913]

Thin ones are used wen first training and early field work as a precaution if I'm not mistaken then thicker ones made for a more trusted and reliable birds... but I'm no professorial just an educated observer with aspiration of a hobby that's a life style I'm not currently set to achieve lol

[@-Honeybee]

Wranglerstar uses same intro music quite often.... always wondered what it was....

[@lisettegarcia]

4:13 - what kind of viking helmet does that bird have on its head???

[@tyresesp9696]

Its called a hood

[@emanuelemandracchia883]

exscuse the wire used his name?

[@Kipperless]

Good tutorial! And her feet look so tiny compared to your hand and a red's feet!

[@falconersapprentice9837]

Definitely, for her body they would be considered good-sized feet, but definitely nothing compared to a red's whompers. Believe it or not I had to buy a thicker glove than my redtail glove because she kept piercing me through it. Never had that problem with a redtail.

[@trucloithanhthu9]

name of music?

[@fsbell1]

I would think that the paracord would lose its strength when you pull ALL of the internals out...?

[@KnottingKnots]

The outer sheath of 550 type paracord is rated at around 200 lbs tensile strength if I recall correctly.

[@taradead]

So, if the bird decides to fly away and the jesse gets caught in a branch, you just starved the bird to death.

[@justjess8552]

not suppose to fly the bird with the jesses on. these are mews jesses.

[@Limit05]

They don't work the inner strands snap when you try to pull it through to make the loop and the hot knife melts the inner ones to the rest I think it was a good idea but it doesn't work

[@usernamedaniedmrg]

Use a fid instead of cutting to pull it through

[@ikerredwarddeleon3041]

are this strong enough for my BK

[@gr33ndiamonds72]

Your Burger King?

[@trucloithanhthu9]

name of the music in video? pls ?

[@simmi8392]

can we use it for budgies

[@user-pm7bz9bg1k]

Kshama C Palekar

[@usernamedaniedmrg]

No, budgie feet are to small and fragile to use anything like this on them. Budgies will break their legs as will most other parrots except for maybe the largest ones but even then I'd be wary they would also break their legs.

[@AlphaSchweinGaming]

Do you use Para-Cord Jesses and Leashes yourself?

[@FalconryTold]

Yes, especially with the smaller raptors.

[@MuhammadAbdullah-cr2dw]

Mujha bhe ek

[@InfoSeekerOO7]

Great video and content. I'd rather you explain what you are doing rather than just show us what you are doing. It's not totally self-explanatory as you would believe through the video. If you melt mineral oil and bees wax together and then saturate the leather with this product it will NEVER deteriorate even after years of being in the weather. Though I do replace replace leather Jesse's every few years just to be safe.

[@anthonycella8897]

That bad.. and the bells should b on the outside of the leg

[@oldschoolhawking8191]

The bewit is designed to rotate around the leg.

[@HawkMother]

I have a blog: Internationalfalconryacademy.blogspot.com. I do not cut my par accord jesses. I use a need and cord from inside the jesses to thread through the material. Also, something called a ‘fid’ works well too. I would NEVER cut the paracord

[@HawkMother]

I do not cut the length where the jess is threaded though itself. See now I do it at www.internationalfalconryacademy.blogspot.com I like your videos though.

[@FalconryTold]

Cool! I will check that out. Thanks for the insight and the kind comment!

[@Rafa2648]

Very useful thank you very much.

[@callmebadger4914]

0:42 how the f.... Am i supposed to cut it like that with a knife It just tears into pieces And aim not buying x acto knife They are HELL expensive like 80-800$
