How to Swing a Lure for a Falcon | Training falcons to a lure

In falconry, lures are often used for training and building fitness with a bird of prey. In this video I show how to swing a lure for a falcon. I break it down into steps for you to follow as this is an important skill to have if you want to train a bird of prey.
Flying the fastest animal in the world is not easy, while flying a falcon you must know how to swing a lure.
Knowing how to fly a falcon, and how to train a bird of prey can be broken down into key steps and stages. Training birds to free fly will differ between every bird and trainer and each step will take different amounts of time and patience, however these are the steps I take when training falcons for falconry displays.
It’s a long video I know, so sit back, relax, and enjoy my video about how to train a falcon!

What I like about your videos is that not only do you show and demonstrate what you doing, but then you take the time to actually explain why you do it that way. And what I see, you are totally spot-on! 😎📹🤙

[@MercerFalconry]

Thank you I really appreciate this

[@rictheseagull392]

Love this on how well you explain how to use the lure properly and also why. I only wish I could find an expert to help me out, but unfortunately no one locally to me seems willing. Its vital, as a falconer, that this is done properly and correctly, so thank goodness for videos like this to help one prepare to train us and show is in steps how it should be done.

Amazing video , really enjoyed that and I can't wait to see if Santa brings me a lure to start practicing.

[@MercerFalconry]

I thought you already have a lure….. oh wait, never mind 😂😂😂

[@mindfueluk]

@@MercerFalconry yeah a dog ate it lol but that was a rubbish thing I'm wanting to get one like yours with the handle as well

[@MercerFalconry]

Definitely, a proper weighted handle

Great video!

One of my favorite things to do as a falconer. A dance in the sky. I signal my falcons not with a whistle. But I dangle the lure in front of me for a moment mid swing and it signals my falcon to come in for the last pass.

[@MercerFalconry]

Interesting, everyone has their own little variations!
