CHILEAN BLUE EAGLE BUZZARD a species spotlight

- I’ve wanted to make this one for some time ; black chested buzzard eagles / Chilean blues , are quite unlike most falconry birds , and their potential here in the U.K. has hardly been tapped into . Astounding display birds or powerful falconry companion: you choose!
Amazing birds, been wanting an extended video on them for ages! Surprised there aren't more people hunting with them, would love to see them really going for it.
I love how he looks like he's going to take the falconer's arm off when he stoops but then lands like a butterfly.
Yes! And that was not his bestcstooo ! But lands softly
Very lovely, always good learning about different species.
Deffo I agree there , some amazing stuff out there hardly flown here in thebuk
Lovely video Dave, well done.
Stunning birds. Just started working with one for the first time yesterday.
You’re very lucky I say!
@@falconry.davesharpenatureboy lol thank you Mr Sharpe, I sure am.
@thefalconrychef6660 hehe
Hi Dave beautiful bird keep up the good work
Cheers
Very nice bird indeed
Hi Dave - just saw your video about the Chilean Eagle - can relate a lot to what you say - I am a German falconer living in Denmark - I was one of the first German falconer flying Harris Hawks 30 years ago and I also was interested in the Chilean for a long time - got one 4 years ago in Denmark and for the first two years was just flying here in strong winds just for fun - she climbed up to 500-600 meters - a little point in the sky and came down like a stone - amazing stews - but she also was always after hares when she saw one - so two years ago I started to try hunting with here and in the first year she got 2 hare - last year I got 8 hare and 9 rabbits with her - so not to bad - I would say you need a lot of training and patience with such a bird but they are definitely capable - they might not catch as much as a golden eagle or a goshawk but they are certainly capable and grow with more and more experience - I fly may bird for hunting with 2,2 to 2,4 kg - summer wheight is around 3 kg - so a pretty big and powerful bird - so I hope it will be better and better over the years and is underestimated in falconry - but you need to be patient and don’t give up - reg. Lothar
Excellent feedback , and quite a big girl ! Enjoy ! Thanks for contributing
stunning bird
Thanks again for another great video Dave. I’ve always really thought the Chilean blue eagle was a really smart bird had no idea how much depth they had as a species that’s I’ve completely overlooked! Is there anything bigger it would take in the wild other than hares? Given that a female is nearly twice the weight of a female red tail? Fox cub maybe? Keep up with the great videos loving these.
Just watched the rest of the video you answered my question 😎👍🏼
Hehe
Are only some breeding lines actually blue, or does that only show up at certain age ranges, or does it depend on particular lighting? The black/gray/white coloration is wonderful as is, but the pictures of blues are truly exotic.
Brown and speckled for fits year or three and maturing into this . I think Some are more blackish I’ve seen now you mention it
First
They _are_ kite like, huh, I want one now, there's a ferruginous here I'm trying to get ready to trap, I don't want him getting into any poisoned rats, looks like he's been eating mostly ground squirrels and grackles because I've been finding a lot of hides and feathers.
Lothar again - forgot to say that I fly my Chilean from the fist and under the hood 😊
Nice one !
I wish I could get this this species in the US
Not allowed?
@@falconry.davesharpenatureboy Just darn near impossible to find. The only ones I know of in the US belong to zoological facilities and aren't available for Falconry
Great Video. I have a small Falconry Centre in Orkney, it is real windy here. Do you think a Chilean Blue could cope with Northern Isles wind. Really want the bird to use for hunting as it is mental windy most of the time😂 My personal winter enjoyment.
Off the soar outstanding ; off the fist in pursuit into the wind probably poor… deffo a bird fir soaring flights if it’s very windy
Could you do one on the changeable Hawk Eagle and Brahminy kite?
No! Hehe. Only because I have no first hand experience of either I’m afraid
A White-tailed Hawk on steroids...
what do you use to make your falconry perches bounce like in the back ground next to this eagle?
Tell me when in the video ? What minute in? I’ll take a look
Dave will these take ducks and geese on the wing? Or is it ground game only?
O the rise but never in straight line form standing start; rembered thyre designed to fly from the soar really
@@falconry.davesharpenatureboy so if the eagles already up high and the duck is flushed, the eagle will drop on it?
@kevinduffield626 well that could be a great flight ! But I bet no one has tried it with these yet …
@kevinduffield626 they do seem to like taking stuff on the ground tho
@@falconry.davesharpenatureboy im new to bops and i want something i can take ground game with, mostly rabbits with a few hares thrown in but also ducks and geese. I should probably get a gos but i do like these blue jobs :P
Thanks, Dave... lovely bird, certainly, maybe, "special needs"? But, as often said: fly them the way they are built to fly, on prey that's appropriate, and prey that's *available*!
Or, so I've heard.
Deffo
I am told the females CAN be as big as a male golden eagle surely this isn't true
Female Chilean can go over 5lb ( don’t know top end flying weight ( small male goldie 6lb ish ( Japanese race maybe less ) so similar ball park I guess
@@falconry.davesharpenatureboy wow
I fly a female she will fly at 6,1/2 pound but is sharper around 6 an amazingly intelligent species you have to be on the ball with mine or she will just take advantage.
@prestigeworldwide661 that’s freaking massive!!
@prestigeworldwide661 that's awesome. I have a male eagle owl 🦉 at 5.512lbs I am looking to get a male golden eagle next or a female Chilean blue, can't make up my mind about what to get next lol
