I bought an eagle! Introducing STORM the Steppes Eagle

- Back in early June Ryan was asked if he could look after Storm, a 9 year old Steppes Eagle (found in Russia, Asia and parts of Africa). It was only meant to be a temporary thing to start with, until the owner expressed an interest in selling her - after a successful 'try before you buy' scenario, Ryan agreed to purchase the bird (he even reveals the price in the video).

We lost our Tawney eagle last year, they were once considered to be the same as a steppe eagle, but now are put into a genus of their own. Ours was very red in colour much like a red setters coat! Its astonishing how many different colours they come in! The brother to our bird that was 3 years younger than Shakhana was completely different to her, almost a sandy colour biege, I have even seen them really dark, almost black! Brilliant manners and very sociable! Great Display Bird, but very lazy, to say the least! She was quite a character and completely different to any other bird I have had my hands on over the past 37 years! I was actually offered one for free last year! But we have recently moved into a smaller property and wouldn't have had the space! Hope everything goes well with her! Best wishes!
That's very interesting to hear and sorry to hear that you lost your Eagle. I have a little bit of experience with the tawny eagle and as the word 'tawny' means 'a type of reddish brown' that makes a lot of sense.
What a lovely bird 😍
Nice I got female golden pic up soon
That's awesome, I shall await a photo
@@owladventuresuk will do shore there be plenty just hope can do her justice the thort and is a bit scary to be truthfull lol
Hi, would you say a steppe eagle would be a good first eagle for some one who isn't a keen hunter. I really like the sounds of a steppe eagles temperament and low prey drive compared to a golden eagle. I feel I could fit my lifestyle around a steppe eagle as I would just like to fly the bird and have a bond with it rather than have it for full on falconry.
Hi, yes, a Steppes Eagle is a good choice. I would recommend having some experience with a hawk or some other birds of prey first but as long as you learn what is required then it is a good species of Eagle for not hunting.
@@owladventuresukthank you very much
What are your intentions when the new law comes in regarding tetherings birds
Hi. We are currently expanding our work with activities that don't require tethering, which will help if the law does come into effect. So far, there is no written evidence of what the new law (if any) will be, (unless someone can show me something, I certainly can't find anything). So it does depend on the wording of the rules. If we can't offer static displays anymore in the way we do now then I will look at a mobile aviary system, if that isn't feasible then we stick to the pest control, care home visits, etc. (I did an indoor care home visit today with all birds wearing just anklets or nothing but their rings and it went really well).
It’s close to impossible to get government permission to keep a Eagle in the US , even for Master Falconers. They also have you under their thumb surveillance rules as long as you own the bird . When your bird dies , they take the body for the feathers. Certified Native Americans wait for them .
It is incredible how different it is - perhaps I should make a video comparing the different things about falconry UK vs US.
