How to tie the Falconry Knot | Tie a knot with one hand | How to tether a hawk

[@jakemurray8080]

Very clear Dan. I’m glad you said about the leash length that’s just as important and I always forget.

[@MercerFalconry]

People usually think the skill is tying the knot but the real skill is knowing how to get your leash the right length even if the jesses or perch change

Best Falconers knot video on You Tube. I finally get it

[@MercerFalconry]

That’s so great to hear, thank you very much!

[@mindfueluk]

Great demo Dan , don't know why but when I watched this video the first time I thought you was using a proper rope and not a shoe lace .... These are great videos for beginners like me ... Can't wait to see more how toos like this. Thanks a million . Ps I think you should do a book

[@neillackenby3626]

Fab video - plenty of demo’s very clear. Thanks

[@MercerFalconry]

Great, thank you I appreciate it!

[@fusedvirus8879]

Great video, now I always carry a sting in my pocket to practice. Could you do a video on the general equipment needed in falconry?

[@rajarizwanakhtar8401]

One of the best video

[@MercerFalconry]

Thank you!

[@johnhigby1442]

😊can you show it left handed?

[@harithomas1911]

Thank you this is extremely helpful

[@MercerFalconry]

Excellent! Did you manage to follow the steps easy enough? I have taught several people in person but never over video so wasn’t sure how well it would translate

[@harithomas1911]

@@MercerFalconry yeah the steps were fantastic, replaying the first looping on the draw a few times did the job. I do think, if you don't mind a suggestion, that another video with clear steps, possibly with numbers on the screen, might be helpful for younger audiences as well as older ones.

[@MercerFalconry]

I could definitely make a short version like that

[@harithomas1911]

Fantastic cheers Mercer

[@scummybraap518]

hello thank you for all these videos, one question please, what is the type of additional coating on the perch at 7:43 ? approximately how much is the diameter with the two thicknesses? Cordially.

[@rumpelppilz]

Is this the Queens English, it souns really funny but friendly.

[@MercerFalconry]

I’m from Yorkshire so northern England 😊

[@johnhigby1442]

Can you show it left handed?

[@MercerFalconry]

It’s exactly the same just mirrored

[@bobbyrichards1332]

What happens if the bird tries to fly away old being tied up ?

[@MercerFalconry]

Not sure what you mean by ‘tied up’ but if they jump and flap while tethered the equipment stops them going anywhere and they just jump back onto their perch. All the equipment is removed when they are flying free though

Helo

[@MercerFalconry]

Hi, how are you?

[@thegg5097]

1 knot is sufficient

[@westcoastfalconry]

I have had more than one bird untie their knot. Luckily no one was injured; I'd rather be safe than have a vet bill.
