Training the Harris Hawk for falconry,

[@chrisbayliss321]

I have a 14 year old Male HH. We have shared each others company since he was 16 weeks old. It has been my honour to hunt with him all this time. I love your videos so thank you for sharing them..

[@Hawk-riders]

That’s a great partnership buddy, and your very welcome

[@NatMorland]

Always wanted to become a falconer….7 years now.! Luckily my parents live next to a falconry and we are all good mates but I just wanted a bit of insight and advice from yourself as you seem very passionate and knowledgeable. Thanks in advance Nat x

[@Hawk-riders]

Hi Nat really sorry about the late reply, I’ve only just seen this. The comments on KZbin weren’t coming in, what would you like to know

[@JeremyThePlayer88]

Smart training right there! You've developed quite a team of hunting partners! Also, the manning process was great too! I'm so happy for what you did for these hawks! You've unlocked their hunting potential amazingly well!

[@davepeace4037]

This is probably the best video I've seen about manning and getting the birds trained to the lure and rabbits, getting your hands in there and having them being used to being touched. Our season is about to start here in the US, and I think it's going to be a great year.

[@TrollingHistory]

On Alibaba etc you can buy knife proof gloves. They look like they'd be perfect for the feeding they aren't puffy gloves light weight look chain mail or woven wires but the videos look good. Razor sharp knifes so cut through them. These birds claws might peirce but mayb won't. Worth a try for 5.95 for sure.

[@johnevans382]

How do you loft them I keep my birds on bow perches do they stay together a frind of mine had one kill other bird a flying weight many thanks John

[@Hawk-riders]

Yer there all free lofted at fat weight and bowed out together in a big mew when there flying. Harris hawks can kill each other, but it’s rare it normally happens when there not bonded very well. Just don’t drop there weight to quick and get the sharing training sorted and you should be fine John 😃

[@ornithologydude8649]

Nice one, I'll be getting a Harris next season, hopefully i will fly him with my sponsors other two 👍🏻

[@ambishe]

Thank you for that great video! How would you proceed with two harris' from a different clutch but same age?

[@Hawk-riders]

Just make sure they will feed ok together 😃, and bond them well

[@brittavanderburgh7279]

Hey! I have a question, how does it come that the haws don't try to attack the ferret? How does it not see it as a prey? Amazing video by the way! I enjoyed it a lot and it was very educational!! :)

[@Hawk-riders]

Hey that’s a great question and really glad you liked the video, because the Harris hawk is a pack animal with lots of training and care they learn that the ferret is there to help. That’s why most people use white ferrets so they don’t look like rabbits 😃. Most Harris hawks will work over ferrets quite happily.

[@brittavanderburgh7279]

@@Hawk-riders thank you very much for ur answer, I understand now. I have another question, I have a almost 2 year old Harris Hawk myself but I'm quit scared for the first time free flight. I think he's ready for it, but I'm not so sure about myself. I don't really have some telemetry to my name yet. Any tips or advice? :))

[@freebirdofreason1994]

Since my last comment I have thought more about having a cast, I have a question, can the Harris hawks live together or kept separate, If they haven't grown up together. I heard that at fat weight they can, and at hunting weight the can’t. I would appreciate your thoughts on this , if I do get another should they be kept separate, I appreciate that there will be an introduction period that will be necessary.

[@Hawk-riders]

Yer just be abit careful with it; it all depends on how they get on, a good way is build 2 pens side by side then have a window so they can see each other

[@freebirdofreason1994]

@@Hawk-riders Thanks 👍

[@samcollinson2589]

The hands involved makes a lot of sense, but have you ever actually been injured and how do they differentiate between what is your hand and what is edible meat?

[@Hawk-riders]

it's just alot of training I use my hands, on there feet all there time, so there used it to

[@antonykeeble6043]

Hi great video. I have a 3 year old male Harris. Wonderful bird, not a brilliant hunter, but we are a great team and hunt 3/5 days a week. I would like to have a pair (not for breeding, so a pair of males perhaps). Do you think I will face challenges inroducing a second Harris to a mature bird? You raised the pair in the video together, just wondered if I would have problems inroducing a second, or are those group instincts reliable whatever the circumstances?

[@Hawk-riders]

Hi mate, I have 2 brother raised together but the rest I just keep together bowed out then start hunting and flying. As long as you take them slow and there nice birds you should be fine. Chief my male I just put in with them. And they all just bond

[@antonykeeble6043]

That's excellent. I'll give it a go. Many thanks!

[@evanbruford1476]

What are the rules and regulations of keeping a Harris hawk ?

[@frog1204]

Evan Bruford you need to have a falconry license. Google has lots of info

[@Charles61284]

Caitlyn O'Neill nope, Ive been flying and captive breeding BOP for for 30 odd years, what I will say is don’t ever think about getting a bird if you haven’t the time. They need to be flown and exercised practically daily, also all British BOP need to ringed and registered with BC. And have a A10 certificate

[@yayoatmeal]

Seems perhaps you are on to something, manning in pairs? They have each other for confidence

[@Hawk-riders]

it really makes a big difference flying them in a cast

[@leedawson8925]

Done it

[@ouardabenghida4115]

Why anyone would want to fly 3 hawks on one rabbit is beyond me. Just why?

[@frog1204]

Ouarda Benghida ask nature. Nature is the one that evolved Harris hawks to hunt small mammals in packs. Often packs much larger than just three birds.

[@cryptolegend6803]

More efficient and they can finish off more of their prey. Lots of reasons? Nothing more impressive to me than watching two harris hawks team up on a rabbit. Really the perfect raptor for falconry IMO.

[@TrollingHistory]

I want one. Like a parrot just sitting on its perch looking regal. They don't make much noise either. I'll feed it cooked chicken though im not risking bacteria like that. Cooked meats will be way better. Or ill just boil the 💩 out of the mice etc then feed. Bird still gets to open them up.
