Great question, the answer is yes , I don’t leave the hawk out alone, plus my two dogs have stopped all cate coming anyway near the garden. It’s best to be careful even a fox could be on the hunt and climb the fence.

@@freebirdofreason1994 thanks mate, starting to prepare myself to embark on this journey as well, will have to think about what to do to prevent cats/wild animals to "interact" with my raptor as there are a good number of neighbouring houses around me

Yes usually, but has chased pheasants upto a mile away. All depends on his weight to heavy and he will wonder off, a bit lighter and he will stick closer.

@@freebirdofreason1994 thanks for your reply. How do you know when to feed him on the glove and when not to when your out hunting?

@@user-rp7ob9qf7c start the season regularly calling back for tip bits, every 100 metres then I call back less as the season goes on. As long as he is following on, if he wonders off then less. As the hunt goes on he will start to follow better then a tip bit off the glove. If he doesn't catch his food rabbit or something then he gets his last part of his food on the glove and we go home. Repeat the next day with adjustment to weight from what I saw whilst out. Ie. if he was wondering off then not as much on the glove at the end, to bring weight down for next day Little adjustments. If he was almost on my shoulder to eager I bring weight up by giving extra. Always carry more food in case I need it.

@@freebirdofreason1994 thankyou for your detailed reply it’s my first season flying a male Hh so just picking your brains. Great channel I’ve subscribed 👍

@@user-rp7ob9qf7c Any time I can help just ask, difficult on occasions but if it can help feel free to ask.👍 Good luck.

It’s a GoPro 7, thanks

@freebirdofreason1994 thank you

@@ianwilson3510 Thanks mate 👍

Very much appreciate you saying, thank you.

Cheers 👍👍

@@kilakila992kilakila2 Very true it is strange how the seem to go a bit wild. I thinks they got a memory of just a few weeks or that's what it can seem like. He may creance quicker but my thought is at a higher weight that's what I'm hoping for. Thanks and good luck as always, happy hawking.

@@NS-hy7gg I really appreciate you letting me know how you get ready for creance work, it's great for all to read. It's good to share knowledge that's what gets me excited, like minded people. And thanks for the compliment I hope the new to falconry will get something out of the videos. Good luck. 👍 👍👍

Usually fun yes. Thanks for watching this one 👍

I use a natural oil but can’t remember which one, I’m sure it’s Rye oil

@@laurencebolton4447 cheers

That’s food normally, they can do it whilst wanting food just as they see it. Mine does it occasionally as I’m feeding or when he has caught and I’m sorting the rabbit so he can eat it. Just another Harris hawk noise.

That’s good news sounds like you are doing well. Hopefully we’re be out in a week or so. Good luck and enjoy.

@@oldschoolhawking8191 Thanks Mike.🎥🎥👍

@@harrishawklerinDE May another time would be great to see you Look luck and happy hawking.

Thanks it’s my pleasure.👍

Can’t wait, cheers and all the best to you and your team.

Thanks great to hear appreciate you saying. Wishing you all the best.👍

Thank you Mike we are looking forward too it, I’ll be warm in my OLD SCHOOL HAWKING hoodie. Cheers 👍🎥🍺

​@@freebirdofreason1994 Awesome Pete!🏆

That’s very interesting about Autism and ADHD , I bet the hawk feels similar at times. We wish you well with your new adventures, I’m sure you will do well and understand the hawks mind and needs. The hood is not used in a lot of cases where a hawk wood benefit, very true words you use. Take care and thank you for commenting.👍

​@@freebirdofreason1994The other example I use is noise cancelling headphones in noisy work environments with heavy machinery, human ears aren't made for that! Thank you, I feel like I understand birds better than people to be honest, they're more honest and slightly more predictable 😂

@@rookbirdblues very true 👍😉

I’m pleased you are getting some benefits from them. Appreciate you watching and commenting, good luck with your mews building and your future falconry hawk.

@@jamespaterson4834 hi James, have you come across Pete's song? 'Where has my garden Gone!?

Thank you Julie.

Appreciated cheers.

Thank you.

Thank you.😉👍

@@philipsutton8921 They hunt fine during their moult, but we give nature a rest, they would naturally take young rabbits as it coincides with less feathers , nature and evolution. We try to keep the hawk eating well during the moult and grow a find set of feathers. They live like Kings really. Hope that helps answer your question.

Thank you ,this is a male, and I totally agree about how they are looked upon as a beginners bird, that should not be in my opinion, to many will be passed on or become a second. Few people will take them to their full potential and see that they are much more. Thank for subscribing take care.

Cheer .

Ha ha , cheers Dave.

@@pelletandferretpestcontrol7367 Thank you I'm looking forward to the season, won't be long now, Good luck 👍

@freebirdofreason1994 thank you hopefully a good bit of ferreting for me

@@pelletandferretpestcontrol7367 can’t beat a good bit of ferreting, fantastic little creatures.

@freebirdofreason1994 me and the wife are hoping for a better season than last. We only had a few rabbits on my permissions so fingers crossed they have bred up

I very much appreciate the hoodie and hat, I’m wearing it now, very lovely thing to do cheers Mike. Take care and glad you enjoyed the shout out.👍

I took your advice and did a lot of research Pete. I collected my new member of my hunting team today. A twelve week old German wirehaired pointer today.

@@kilakila992kilakila2 wow how lovely, I'd love to see a picture. What name ,what colour, male or female. Fantastic.

That’s great looking forward to saying Hi, see you then.👍

@@danielperkins1987 Thanks 👍, 😄

Oh dear I wonder where that is maybe moulted whilst flying about. I think the nest was a pigeon.

@@freebirdofreason1994 yes maybe 🤔 when I first got him back he did drop a feather but thought it was from a wing. I should more attentive, and will be in the future.

Depends, if you have your hawk out of moult now I mean you are getting the hawk out and weathering, start training, weighing , if you have dropped some weight off I’d try jumping short distances every feed in creance area, you will see what’s needed. If you mean you have dropped some weight whilst in the mews and you see some keenness then get the hawk out and start training. Flying weight is what you reach you need to creance to that , but at fat weight it’s not going to happen. So some weight off and start to see what happens. Don’t spend to long on creance if you bring the weight down a bit first . If that’s what you mean, I hope that helps.

@@freebirdofreason1994 yes pal cheers

Very appreciated cheers and you.

I have always liked the GWP dogs, pro is usually steady can work close, very loyal and a fantastic family dog. Lovely steady pointer, learn well , but strong willed so need to be firm and they will enjoy pleasing you. Love children and get on with most dogs. Cons, need a lot of exercise that oks if retired and can get them out. They will get bored easily and look for things to do in the house if left alone, destroying stuff, possibly If exercised first then can be left alone for short periods . Or crate them if not in a kennel. That said, they will settle and lay about after a walk and a hunt. I recommend them lovely breed, I’m 63 now and happy that we have this breed.

Thanks Pete, just what i needed to know.​@freebirdofreason1994

That great I’m glad you like the channel always willing to help just ask if you need and help. The shed is 8 feet x 4 feet the same for the aviary which I built after. Box clever do mews and deliver them worth a look , check them out on google. Good luck.

Thank you.👍

Sorry all our birds are captive bred in the Uk if that’s what you mean, good luck with your falconry.

Cheers mate 👍

@@markmiller9845 Woody will not be going, as no birds other than display flying on site, as far as I know 👍

Just to let you know Woody will now be going.👍

That’s a great idea for sure,👍 👍 I’ll try it .

​@@freebirdofreason1994 Another thing we used to do, is put a sprinkler next to the bath pan, so the water disturbs the bathwater. (like rain) Sometimes that entices them to jump in.

@@juliealmond9546 No hoses for me thankfully although I'm sure I too would learn the benefits 😉 Ice lolly is the way to go. See you soon.👍
