#falconry
This falconry video compares two iconic falcon species. The saker falcon and the prairie falcon. These two falcons seem similar at first glance, but are very different. Saker falcons have been used in falconry for thousands of years. While prairie falcons have only been trained for less than 100 years. Both falcon species have unique abilities and unique limitations. This video will go into depth comparing the two species.

The only drawback to these videos on the different types of birds is that it makes me want everything. I want all the birds!

In Uzbakistan there are gry sized sakers. They are used to hunt in a mixture of peregrine and saker way. So they fly above hundreds of feet and dive into the prey. If they miss, they tale chase till the prey gives up. Sometimes preys try to hide to the back of the falconer when they cannot escape , which is funny and shows how incredible sakers are. Also they excel at quick turns when chasing. They are also used to hunt rabbits in Khazakhistan .

I flew a peregrine x prairie falcon for a couple years and it was an amazing hunter, I kite trained it to wait on and it hit with amazing force and seldom bound on the initial hit but would take head shots or slice a wing. I was living in Virginia and trained it there but took it to Texas on its first hunts on duck, in 4 days it took 4 ducks 2 of them in one flight, she smacked on duck in the head killing it instantly and pitched up and grabbed another duck. She was an amazing hunter, but personality wise she could be cantankerous and through fits when things didn’t go her way. I would fly one again in a heartbeat, her name was Kira.

Nice video, I flew a Saker back in the mid 1980's in England, due to my inexperience and a bit of bad luck with land access, she ended lure bound, but we had a great time for eight years, flying most days. A smaller bird I flew her at around 1lb 14 ounces and she would be keen and obedient. 2 lb and she'd go sit up a tree for an hour, 1lb 12 and she lacked a bit of stamina, really was a great experience.

I had a Saker on the glove this weekend. My second raptor ever held! My sponsor owns and operates an Eyries here in rural, MO.

In Uzbakistan we have also red-napes shaheen, which is an amazing bird to fly.

I've seen photos of passage tiercels Sakers that I would have bet money were Prairie Falcons. Surprising they're not more closely related.

Among birds of prey (order Falconiformes), falconids, caracaras, and new world vultures originated exclusively from the New World while accipitrids, ospreys, old world vultures, eagles, and secretarybirds all originated exclusively from the Old World, the seriemas which are now found only in South America are considered the oldest birds of prey alive today.
