Falconry: Understanding the role of food

Рет қаралды 6,247

2 жыл бұрын

This falconry video dives into the psychology of how raptors view food. Understanding this psychology is vital to any falconer or wildlife trainer. These principles are not the same as how food is viewed by other animals. Proper understanding of raptor psychology towards food will prevent aggression, vocalization, and lead to success in flying and hunting.
Understanding these principles is vital to success in falconry and raptor husbandry.

It's a male red tail. A tiercel is a male peregrine. The classic names, such as tiercel, mean specific things.

Thanks, Ben, great video! I am a first year apprentice and almost every problem I have had this year with my male HH, I have had to address with or around food. He got sticky footed a bit so I started throwing his food tidbits to the ground, after he came to the glove, problem solved. He didn't like the hood, so I made sure to give him a tidbit each time it came off, he mellowed on that. He also goes right into his giant hood now after training, to get his tidbit. I don't fly him with jesses anymore since he started doing that. He didn't like me petting behind his head until I started trading them for a tidbit. Now he doesn't care. And on and on. Now my problem is him carrying so yet again, a change to his food as I am having to weight it now.

@thomasbergeaux2647 2 жыл бұрын

This doesn't sound like you are working with a passage HH. Have you had a passage bird before this? If not I strongly recommend talking to your sponsor about you getting a passage bird, specifically a red-tail if it is available to you.

@SL-vx1sx 2 жыл бұрын

@@thomasbergeaux2647 First, I want to thank you for the advice. I knew going into this that my experience with a captive-bred HH would be different, easier and likely more forgiving of my mistakes with him. My sponsor jokes that I cheated. I do plan on getting a passage red-tail in the future, but for now I am limited to this one until my license allows. I know that it will be very different experience when I do. Thanks again.

@thomasbergeaux2647 2 жыл бұрын

@@SL-vx1sx I do have to agree with your sponsor lol. I have never personally flown a HH but I have hunted with them and they are a great joy to hunt with and so so easy. Definitely easy to get spoiled to. However, I dont know if I will ever fly one because there is something behind the magic of trapping a wild bird and hunting with it, and then eventually setting it free. When you do get a wild bird make sure to go out and trap it yourself. The experience is breathtaking

@francoisquintal2784 2 жыл бұрын

Weight management also change the bird comportement on a kill. A hungry bird will eat asap. A too low bird will mantle more and trade poorly. If too high, they tend to carry and become nervous on you're approach ;) Good vid! :D

you have a way of explaining things like no one else, I am a second-year apprentice flying a new male Red tail, he tends to be Footy only when taking off the jesses before I put him in his hood and go hunt. He has yet to catch anything but has had and a few grabs. My Sponsor says it will stop after he catches something. What are your thoughts

It certainly is a Falconry channel when every video has "Falconry" in the title. That's not bad, but it's important to share information that's true. Much of what you're saying is pure conjecture. That's surprising because it's possible to research these topics before making these videos. Half way through the video you start teaching people things and, at the end, you seem confused and tell apprentices watching this video to go ask their sponsor. At least that's good advice. Thanks for sharing your personal experiences and how you've handled problems you've had with your birds.

@Wildhydro 2 жыл бұрын

I strongly disagree with the statement that much of the video is pure conjecture. This is a discussion on the psychology of how raptors view food, based on a good amount of experience. And to refer people to their own sponsors is one of the wisest things to do - as there are people all over the world watching this, who's local falconry 'meta' may vary greatly, and that's why input from a sponsor (local to that viewer) is relevant and important

@thomasbergeaux2647 2 жыл бұрын

I am no expert falconer but Ben's perspective on this sport is very true. Everyone sees it in their own way but his is very easy to understand. He is very wise in keeping it open to debate at the end and always asking your sponsor about what is being learned. You never stop learning and as an apprentice your sponsor is your biggest asset.

@MayhemKeys 2 жыл бұрын

@@Wildhydro If it's not conjecture then I would ask for other sources and evidence. Nothing in Falconry is really new, or very rarely is something new discovered. Someone else must have written these concepts of Falconry psychology in a book, and It should align with what this person is teaching. I don't doubt he's a great falconer or anything like that. I have fundamental problems with information that's not correct or properly presented. It's unethical.

@MayhemKeys 2 жыл бұрын

@@thomasbergeaux2647 I strongly disagree based on my knowledge shared with me in books and experience. Why am i wrong and Ben right? Making Falconry video is difficult and simply saying it's not a Falconry video isn't an out. The title says "Falconry", he's teaching people technical skills of the sport, and he's referring people to other videos for more knowledge. By definition, that's making Falconry education videos for the public. When someone does that it needs to be presented much better than this. I know exactly how he's formed this concepts. I understand what he's trying to say, but he's done it wrong on this one. Thousands of people may come to this channel for information and it's best to give them information that is correct to the best of one's knowledge, and it should be generally accepted in the community as true. Random psychobabble presented as Falconry education isn't ethical.
