My uncle started me with a Harris at 16 and my god I was scared I’m 33 now and I can’t wait to get back into falconry Comment from : Luna Catalan |

In Colorado, apprentices can fly gyrfalcons! They are perhaps the most difficult species to deal with, yet in the infinite wisdom of the Game and Fish, they approved the species for use by complete beginners You'd think they would have asked some practicing falconers what THEY thought about this issue, but, of course, falconers are not legitimate experts according to the bureaucrats making these rulesbrbrBTW, the passage red-tail gets my vote for the first bird Mine was an unreal hunter 36 jackrabbits, 20 cotton tails, 2 pheasants, and 4 snakes in the first season The snakes were accidental Trap one in October if you're up to the challenge They are easily tamed, even tempered, and capable of catching just about any quarry Comment from : matsfreedom |

In Oklahoma (central us), we have 2 options for a starter bird Red tailed hawk and American kestrel It also depends on your sponsor, some of them only give you one option if you want to do falconry Comment from : Chad Albee |

I’ve always been curious about falconry, I’m not looking to hunt but simply have a bird because it looks fun but I don’t want to get a bird simply displaybrbrI’d like to interact with my bird but not using it for hunting so I’m doing my research on it so I don’t affect the bird’s life in any negative Comment from : ItsEliza5 |

as a falconer that has 20+ years experiance im glad ur shining alot of light within our community/lifestyle as iv heard of ALOT of birds have been killed/lost or hurt due to no experiance or knowledge of what they wanna do the more people know the better alot of people dont notice the amount of patients, time and effort that go in to just keeping these birds healthy Comment from : NorthernLoki |

How would you recommend getting into Falconry? I am currently have no experience with large birds and I am about to go into the army but once I'm out in 10 or so years I would like to get my own bird of prey for hunting is there anything you could recommend me to do in the meantime to learn what would be required to properly look after a bird of prey?

The Harris's Hawk is Para-budio not a Budio Comment from : Larry Dotson |

I've been researching falconry, especially for a first bird and this has really helped However, I'm still struggling to figure it out I think I'd be suited to a falcon, since in my area there are lots of open fields, but I'm not sure what specific species I know that kestrels and merlins are too small, and most others are better for experienced falconers Do you think you could help me at all?

My first bird was a golden eagle He is now a gentle and smart bird, not aggressiv and a good hunter BUT i say all my students that is a very bad idea, because these birds a very sensitive and can be very very dangerous I am so happy that you say the harris hawk is NOT a beginner bird I have two harrsi and they are so different, the one is a high aggressiv bird, the other is a softie Harris hawks are so intelligent, so you can make so many mistakes with these great birds In germany is the goshawk a traditional beginner bird, or the peregrine falcon Thanks for these good video!

Hi Dan, my name is Heather I'm a pro photographer and have waited 30 years to be sure about having a bird of prey as a companion that I can keep along side my dogs I do not wish to hunt I do want to only ever own one bird and make sure it has my full attention I'm now 53 and I finally think I'm ready for my dog with wings I'm going to try to spend this year getting ready for our adventure I am terrified! It has to be said Do you train people or can you suggest anyone who can I'm based in Bolton but willing to travel to get this right I have been through all the types of bird and did feel a owl would be best, but they do seem to get very attached to one person and I'm worries it may fret when I'm away , I'm away around 6 times a year for a week at a time Due to the Harris being so good socially and such a clever versatile bird I'm likely to go for a male Harris What are your thoughts X Comment from : Heather Beckett |
|
So, you're mad that people call Harris hawks beginner falconry birds because they're good in every category? Comment from : Mr Hollywood |

Amazing video, looking forward to my journey into hawking 💕💕 Living on 65 hectares in moderate climate part of California with plenty of rabbits and flighted game birds Would love your thoughts/opinions on what possibilities I'd have at giving one of these birds an amazing partnership with myself and my English Springer Spaniel Comment from : Round Two Resellers |

How do you guys keep Harris Hawks in the winter? brHere in NY the temperatures drop way below freezing point when hunting season is open Comment from : Felipe Ramirez |
|
Sorry but keeping an owl isn't falconry, it's pet keeping brbrFalconry is the pursuit of game with a trained raptor Comment from : Falcons Ledge |
|
Would the climate of the area of your permission affect the birds that would be best to fly because different birds have different temperature ranges that they prefer and perform best in Comment from : KawakamiBenimaru |

Thank you for mentioning the outcome of all the "beginner" Harris hawks! Great birds with such potential but unfortunately it's rarely reached Comment from : Liz Hall |

Delighted to see the new Common Buzzard you got! Could easily become my favourite out of all your birds - I’m so weak for buzzards it’s unreal 😅 I am getting a Buzzard as a first bird very soon I know they’re not as efficient as some other birds for hunting but after volunteering at falconry places I just love their personalities A few bunnies a year will be enough to make me happy Anyway though, I’ve been watching for a fair while though even if I haven’t commented much and I love your stuff, thanks for it and keep it up! You explain complex concepts in a really easy to understand way which I adore Comment from : Winter Moon |

Great video Dan I’m fortunate to have several species of hawks owls and falcons where I live A couple of years ago I found an active red-shoulder hawk nest across the street from my house 2 years ago a red a gray morph pair ,the female was red and the male was gray, of East red screech owls nest in a tree at the end of my drive way A while back not far from my house I found a red-tailless hawk nest that is still being used today 2 years ago a pair of great horned owls took over that same red-tailed hawk nest last year I saw a pair of Merlins exhibiting courtship behavior in my local park I was unable to find the nest I hear and see all of these birds frequently with the exception of the great horned owls As a side note I was wondering how your caracara is doing?
