I am an avid amateur of raptors and currently serve as the president of the Black Hills Raptor Center (a raptor rehabilitation facility) in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. I am currently training my first peregrine and can appreciate the amount of work it takes keep your business afloat - or more specifically, on the wing. Thanks for the wonderful and awesome video - you have a new subscriber
What a wonderful way to make a living. To be in the presence of these magnificent, winged hunters. A beautiful experience with the natural world. Thank you so much for sharing this. Peace and love from the Bronx.
I am in Mexico and figuring out which new hawk or falcon to get for my bird abatement work. I have flown two male harris hawks (separate seasons) in blue berry and strawberry high tunnels
Awesome vid, always chill vibe. What are the ankle bands with the number, or who are they for? I found someone's dead bird the other day while running. It had ankle bracelets and a # band. I dug into it some, as I'd wanna know if I'd lost an animal, but I didn't find anything. Just curious if there's a registry or something.
Thank you! Birds of prey are federally regulated and captive-bred raptors are required to have these bands for identification. Pigeon racers also band their birds for ID purposes but it is not required by the government. If the bird you found was a raptor, and you still have the band number, send it to me and I will post it in some falconry groups online that will likely be able to locate the owner. If you have any photos or know what kind of raptor it was, that will also be helpful.
Does the raptor ever get smacked by the lure? Seems like it would be tough considering the capabilities of a bird like Legend for example. I'd assume you have to keep very focused to stay one step ahead of a peregrine. Just passed my exam!!!
Hello, this is a dream job form me! Do they allow you to camp on the property making it easier for you and less travel? I’d love to know your set up if you do stay on the property.
@@MeganTheFalconer most hybridized species are man-made, and are conceived via artificial insemination. Peregrine x prairie hybrids were actually a natural occurrence that was a result of the u.s. breeding population of peregrine diminishing due to the dichlordiphonyltrichloethane pesticide and was an evolutionary adaptation which enabled the peregrine to still pass on their genes to the next generation in a mixed brood.
@@jackkrell4238 Yes, I have worked for several breeding operations that specialize in hybrids. I was illustrating to Harold which species (hybrids) require two transmitters. Gyrfalcons and Sakers have also been known to interbreed.
Although they are encouraged to chase birds if they choose to, my falcons have been trained to receive their reward on the lure from very early on in training. They know that when the lure drops to the ground, that's where the food is. They will often leave a chase to come back to the garnished lure because it is an easier meal than trying to kill something. Quite a different training method from what is done with the gamehawks.
@@MeganTheFalconer Thank you, that makes a lot of sense that they are trained primarily as an abatement bird. I was hoping to get my Red-Tail into abatement but my concern is that it's too far along in her training to try and switch things up. There doesn't seem to be much for literature on bird abatement and the training process; but based off of your response the key is just to never enter her on actual quarry. Thanks again for the response, this should help during the training of my second bird if I can manage to find one. Respectfully, Chris
@@freedominusfriends I'll also add that some brids are just made for abatement, and others are made to be gamehawks. My female peregrine started out as an abatement bird but her prey drive was too strong, she just kept killing stuff so I switched her over to being a gamehawk exclusively and she has excelled. Other birds, like Odin, love to chase...but don't really care if they catch or not. Birds like that obviously make better abatement birds. They are all so different. If you decide to get into abatement make sure you get a captive bred bird, as birds trapped from the wild cannot legally be used for abatement. Best of luck this season!
@@MeganTheFalconer I was not aware that a wild caught bird could not be used for bird abatement. Thank you for that information, otherwise I probably would have found myself in some trouble. Like I said before, there doesn't seem to be much for literature on bird abatement but you seem to have all the knowledge necessary for people like me looking to get into this aspect of Falconry. I greatly appreciate you sharing your insights with me. Just curious, what is your experience with Merlins in bird abatement? During our time trying to trap one for falconry we witnessed them run off everything from crows to Bald Eagles and everything in between. Their small size implies that they would struggle with abatement but again we have witnessed them handle larger birds with ease. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and experience with me. -Chris

Who can make the dreaded 9 to 5, the hated daily grind, look so elegant?

💕🤜🐦🤛💕That's Who!
Thanks for the kind words
فديو جميل 👍 وهوايه جميله 🍇 وحيوانتك 👍 جيده

Great stuff! I recommend you try a 360 video camera attached to the training decoy string. Could create some epic shots for you.
Making abatement and hawking my future.. currently sponsor hunting in the lower mainland... cant get enough..
Such a relaxing way to work. Brilliant
Good work. Takes me back many years when I flew falcons over vineyards in Cambridgeshire UK. Excellent filming.
Beautiful filming 🤘🏿 Kalen was too work in like plants
B-E-A-UUUUTIFUL!! 😍😍😍😍
Your videos are the best I’ve ever seen great job
I like the video 🎥 looks like you went to the lure stooping school cool job
your bird/birds are beautiful. this is what i want to do with my life hopefully in the near future.
Nice Video!
Respect from an amateur! 🙏Keep it up! 💪
Peace. How are you. Miss you and your special clips. One of your fans from Saudi Arabia. wish you success.. ✋❤️
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. I am doing well, life has been a bit busy lately but I plan to get some more content out soon :) cheers 🍻

So beautiful falcon 👍🇩🇰
I love your Chanel! Great videos! Why give up on it?

How cool 🌻

Now that's a job I would love
❤❤❤❤
👏👏👏
love it!
جميل جدا ❤️😍
Megan why have you stopped posting hunting vlogs with shiva the peregrine falcon?🤔
Your'e flying only imprints in bird abatement or you leave the youngn falcon sometime in the chamber with his or her parents before taking up?
Hello, this is a dream job form me! Do they allow you to camp on the property making it easier for you and less travel? I’d love to know your set up if you do stay on the property.
Megan, good morning. Can you help me out with a few questions?
Great video, Megan! Do you swap out transmitters between birds?
Thank you! And yes, absolutely. I never fly without 2 transmitters. It is actually required by law for hybrid species.
@@MeganTheFalconer When you say "hybrid species" do you mean the Peregrines you fly?
@@haroldbielstein3530 hybrid species like a gyrfalcon x peregrine cross

Tell me feeding time of falcon ?
Every time they return to the lure or my fist they are fed, then at the end of the day they get a substantial meal.
@@MeganTheFalconer dear i have a 25 days old baby
And you're flying male peregrines and not females?
❤❤❤❤❤❤ amazing taming 🫶🫶
Hey Megan, really impressed with your work and would like to lean falconry from you. Could you give me your email id so that I can reach out to you?
