    Thank you so much for the video. You explain things so well and make it interesting to know all these things about the birds and all what is needed in the falconry area.
    I have binge watched most of your videos and there hasn't been a moment when watching that I have thought about stopping the video and go back. I will never become a falconer let alone get near any birds of prey but your videos give so much information and your love for your birds and for the trade is so infectious. Besides you show us the fantastic nature where you live and how your daily work with the birds are. Thank you for that! And you, yourself, are a beautiful young lady! I loved to watch little Alfie being with Mom out to work with the birds. He was so cute sitting in his harness watching everything and taking a nap when he needed it. He is a lucky boy! 🙂

      @@wingsandwildlands Fun thing, I actually once was close with a crow. I knew a lady who had taken a crow inside her apartment as a pet. I don't remember how, if she found it injured or something so she took it home to heal it but it sat on the top of the door to her living room. I was hired to have a weekend course in the town where she lived and she offered to me that I could stay with her the two nights. So I came and saw this relatively big black bird sitting on the top of the door and I rolled out my air mattress and my sleeping bag two meters away from it. It didn't move or anything but on Saturday night I offered to buy pizza for us all, the lady and her two teenage children and myself, and while we were eating the crow became interested so it flowed down to participate in the eating. I have had a phobia of birds, I could watch them but I couldn't touch them so when the crow landed on me I screamed. It then went over to the lady where she fed some of the pizza to it. Then it flew back to the top of the door. I don't know what to say about keeping a crow inside an apartment as a pet, I don't know if it was something one should do. I just accepted that this crow lived like this and I left it to the lady to decide about the ethics of it. It wasn't my concern, I just noticed all the poop that hang down on the door and thought that it was a lot to clean up daily.
      Of my phobia of touching and holding birds, I haven't had the opportunity to work on it. I used to suffer from arachnophobia but lately I have started to become interested in tarantulas and now I find them beautiful and so interesting. I haven't tried, yet, to hold a tarantula but I am sure that I could if I was offered the opportunity. And now I have become interested in ravens so I'm sure I will be able to hold and touch a bird if I'm offered the opportunity. Working with a phobia to me starts with becoming interested in the animal that I have a phobia for and then watch videos and learn about them and then gradually overcome the phobia. Now I think I would have loved to try to hold that crow and caress it over the feathers. But its beak, it was big and scary... 😬

    It's so nice to catch up with you. Preparing new aviaries in a new part of the country, moving birds & households, not to mention your pregnancy & now a growing baby! What a busy busy season you & your little family have had. Hopefully now you are well settled for a long time. Which brings to mind the gorgeous countryside to train & hunt in! I pray God's blessings on you all. 🦅

    Amy, I’m pretty sure I’d watch you read the telephone book 📖 if they were still around! You know I’ve been a fan since very early on, then you moved twice I think, pregnant announcement, then the reveal of Alfie, and always time with *boop boop* Fable!
    I love to see you working the birds…it’s so awe striking to see nature and man/woman working together with dogs who are using their inbreed natural talents! I don’t understand how ppl aren’t gobsmacked at how nature has given animals, insects, even man a set of talents that nurture placed in the DNA 🧬 in every living creature?! Even ants have a graveyard for their fallen comrades! Mother Nature is as close to perfection as anything is!
    Amy, THANK YOU for sharing your talent and the birds talents with us…I wish your videos were longer, and I’d love to see more birds working.
    I do have a question: When Peregrines “stoop” is it for fun or for a kill, or both?!
    Sending Gratitude, and God’s Blessing’s to you for sharing the birds, the dogs, your knowledge and talent and how you all work together, and, especially for sharing your family with us…I think Alfie needs a new sibling to play with!! 😜 With much admiration, affection and delight, Jan Burton Marino 🇺🇸

      Hahah thank you for all your support :) I keep trying to make as many as I get time for but I think there's never enough hours in the day.
      RE your question, usually the stoop is reserved for the hunt, but they sometimes play stoop at other peregrines or if they are on the wind. We call it a false stoop sometimes. They also stoop when they have juveniles they are trying to teach to hunt, often throwing out food for their young to match mid air. Hope that helps :)

    Hey amy, it would mean a lot to me if you would reply to my question!
    There's this juvenile brahminy kite that comes to my backyard for over a month now. I think it's a juvenile because I've read that juvenile brahminy kites are darker and develop that white colour around their neck only when they are adult. I've formed a nice relationship with the kite and it comes for food to my backyard every single day. It even takes food from my hand. However it doesn't really like me touching it. So my question is, is it okay if I set up anklets and jesses on to it's feet forcily and provide it with a proper housing? Im just worried if I do so its gonna be aggressive and lose its trust on me. Is a bird of prey okay to be done that way especially when it's just straight out from the wild? Thanks. ❤️

    Can't agree more with having multiples of things. The number of mews jess I've lost in a field over the years is embarassingly large!
    With removable bells have you ever used Bullets to attach them? I used to have a bell on a bewit but my bird's quarters aren't in the countryside any more and the neighbours probably wouldn't appreciate the noise from the aviary. I never really got on with tail mounts though; I find them really fiddly and although easy to get stuff on them, almost impossible to get off again and I don't want to risk pulled feathers.
