Kestrel Trapping 1-27-19

Falconry trapping a kestrel with Bal-Chatri Trap. I'm looking forward to hunting this guy on starlings.

[@oldsagerat]

Thanks for sharing. In my opinion, you need twice the number of nooses and half the size. Did you keep this little spitfire ?

[@RedTalesFalconry]

Thanks for the input. Yea I kept this little one for a season.

[@cryptolegend6803]

Dude get a critter saver on that Bal-Chatri trap LOL

[@RedTalesFalconry]

Ha ha ha!

[@killyhawkaan2076]

@@RedTalesFalconry Yeah, it depends on the bird. I had a BC that was a half inch width on the cage, lost two dumb mice because they poked their heads out and lights were out. I made a trap with 1/4 width holes and mice were safe. making tiny nooses are hard, but as long as the poundage is 3-6 lb weight tested bird should be good

[@RedTalesFalconry]

@@killyhawkaan2076 I've definitely had kestrels kill a mouse threw the wires. I typically use this trap for red-tails and it works fine for kestrels, so I go with it!

[@killyhawkaan2076]

@@RedTalesFalconry yeah the trap worked great the mice were just dumb enough to poke their faces

God dammit, this is why the planets dying lol

[@joshuacarter713]

🤣

[@RedTalesFalconry]

Not sure why you think this makes the planet die. The bird is still hunting and is eventually released back to the wild. Chances are it would die without me working with it so in all actuality I'm helping to increase numbers of wild kestrels.

To tight to buy yourself a legal bird to hunt with!

[@RedTalesFalconry]

Stephen Philpott not sure where you are located at but in the USA they are Every where So not sure why anyone would buy one. Because of that very few are bred here.

[@stephenphilpott6772]

@@RedTalesFalconry if there everywhere do what any decent falconer would do, find a best, take a chick and do it properly, you've put to much stress on that bird already, I would of hated to see the state of that birds keg after struggling so hard to escape the wire slip, what are you wanting a kestrel for? They only eat insects, sparrow sized birds and anphebians. Do yourself a favour and save up some bucks and buy a Red Tail or something similar and leave the wild kestrels alone, if there everywhere there' doing well.

[@RedTalesFalconry]

Stephen Philpott again anyone here in the states would trap a RT in the same way, nobody would buy a kestrel or red tail, it is not about money, I have a Harris hawk that I paid for because they aren’t native to my area or I would trap, I use kestrel to hunt starlings to feed my other bird

[@stephenphilpott6772]

@@RedTalesFalconry You use a kestrel to catch Starlings to feed a Harris Hawk. I've always found Harris Hawks so easy to train and will take a multiple selection of prey. Why don't you hunt with the Harris and let it catch it's own starlings (food). Catching a wild bird of prey and taking its freedom and stressing it out untangling from the trap, keeping it in a cage (aviary) and the process of manning the bird is not the way of a true falconer, your supposed to show respect to your bird (of prey). You would be fined here in the UK for doing such a act and fround upon other falconers. Release the kestrel back to where it belongs and wait till spring and get yourself a chick mate. Be a good falconer and not a cunt👍

[@RedTalesFalconry]

Stephen Philpott not sure why you have to get hateful, this is very common here so your standards of a true falconer do not apply. Many would consider buying a bird not true falconry. The kestrel in the video has already been released after serving its purpose. It now has the skill and confidence to take out starlings so is a better hunter then when I trapped it. I’m not fined here in the USA because it is perfectly legal and the most common practice of hunting with kestrels.

[@BirdsTrap]

wow con mice nice

[@RedTalesFalconry]

They work quite well to trap birds.

[@Troy-Echo]

Nice video. I've seen similar traps with a two layer cover so the birds cannot reach the mice at all, so you never have an injured mouse during a trapping session. I think these were hand made, but still very effective. I am fairly certain I saw these on Ben Woodruff's channel. Gorgeous female American Kestrel. I'm working on learning more about falconry and have some hunts set up for this season to see if it's something I want to dedicate the time, effort and money into. Do you have any videos on weight management for Kestrels? They are such tiny birds, and I know a lot of people have not flown them and may not be able to do videos on their weight management.

[@RedTalesFalconry]

Every now and then a kestrel will injure the mouse. I don’t have any videos on weight management. Maybe I should document more of that aspect of it.

[@Troy-Echo]

@@RedTalesFalconry Mercer Falconry from the UK touched on this a bit, but not in any real depth, unless I missed a video. I've heard others say Kestrel weight management is tough, even using a scale that measures in grams. In the Mercer videos from the UK, his Eurasian Kestrel was fluctuating by 10-15% of it's body weight on many days. His Eurasian Kestrel was mving between about 170 to 195 grams I think?

[@adamwilson2905]

It's illegal in the UK, all falconry here is done with captive bred brids. How do you go about training a wild bird to the point it won't just fly away?

[@RedTalesFalconry]

@@adamwilson2905 It is really pretty easy. Typically the regulations require it be a passage bird (less then a year). Then you spend time with it, get it to feed from you or in your presence and then get it to jump, then fly to you. Then take out hunting and put up game for it and it realizes life is pretty good.

[@MD_falconry]

Your lucky that bird didn’t kill itself. Those nooses are way to big

[@RedTalesFalconry]

Assuming you are familiar with trapping I'm very close by so as soon as it is hung up, I make in to get it. I've trapped a lot of birds with this and never had one even get close to being injured.

[@MD_falconry]

Kirk Graves yes I am familiar with trapping. I am a falconer and it only takes one for the DNR to yank your license

[@RedTalesFalconry]

@@MD_falconry I figured as much just by the way you spoke. I really don't understand why you think DNR would yank a license for trapping a bird with what you perceive as to large of nooses. I follow every letter of the law, I really don't think our DNR would take a license for following their laws. They do not specify or mention anything about the size of the noose. They do acknowledge that there is always a risk when trapping and that is why the regs say I am responsible for the bird if it were to get injured while trapping.

This is awful. What if they break a wing or leg trying to escape? Let wildlife be, they’re not ours to take. Isn’t there something else you can do besides trapping innocent wildlife? Get a pair of binoculars and enjoy them from afar. LEAVE THEM ALONE. Trapping birds of prey should be ILLEGAL.

[@RedTalesFalconry]

I've never had one injured, once the bird is caught I'm there in seconds to secure it. I have many other things that I do but working with birds of prey is a passion of mine that I enjoy. I do get binoculars and enjoy from a distance but there is nothing as exciting when a wild animal allows you in to their world to enjoy what they do with a front row seat. It is quite fascinating and many bird lovers also trap birds for scientific purposes. In many cases this is how things are learned to then make better societal changes to preserve wildlife.
