I would certainly join a membership. I like the idea of asking a question and you can make a short video about it. I get a lot of abused birds in last few months en some of them have some health issues like bumblefeet, primary wing feathers that get thrown off every time they almost grown etc. Some issues I would love to have some decent videos about to learn how to solve them. We unfortunately have no bird expert veterinary to go to and the previous owners would kill the bird if I not take care for the bird. So I like that idea a lot!
I, for one, am grateful for you and the other Falconer RUclipsrs I know of for all the time you spend to inform us, provide tips, show us your birds and facilities, and everything else! I have often wondered why on earth you do all that, when we benefit but you, well...benefit less. The least I can do is tell you there are falconers in Germany who appreciate your work! My husband and I are both followers. As an aside, the wind doesn't bother me, though you've probably edited out the worst of it. We've spent time in Scotland and know that wind is simply part of the deal. 🙂 Cheers from fans in Germany!
Hi Dave , I already pay for a couple of monthly subscriptions , but me and the mrs would be more than happy to pay a subscription to your channel , we really enjoy your content and your doing more for falconry than anyone else we’ve def taken on board a lot of what you’ve said , also great to see you last week and thanks for the advice on freeloft for our gos
Good to see you both ; but briefly but the weekends are a bit if a blur ! Thanks for the input , over the next few months I’ll look into some sort of patreon type thing and what I could offer to make it worth it to folk as value
As mentioned above, lots of great content, Dave! It's greatly appreciated and enjoyed. I'd be happy to donate a few bucks here and there if there's a mechanism for that. Thanks for your time and effort!!!
Would love to see some of the more unusual species flying and even trying to get them to hunt - the black chested buzzard eagle would be great to see flying. Would also be cool to see if you could get one of our lesser regarded UK birds like a kestrel or common buzzard entered at something.
You have the best falconry channel, are these videos a precusor to your book? Your enjoyment continues to comes through amazing given the frequency of your videos. Bravo and i hope your viewers contiue to grow. Maybe a contest would give a little bump in views?
Dave your channel is doing great loads of helpful information you have provided. I do have an idea for you as for footage maybe on board camra on birds In high soreing thermals. Or maybe like a live broadcast where people ask you questions bit like a podcast. Just ideas for you if it helps
As per another comment, i think it helps "the algorithm" if more viewers just reach a thumb over to the 'like' button...i do it every time! BTW, it also helps when people let the video run to the end, so that every second adds to the "hours watched" total. I'm not sure how much it helps, but maybe a click through to advertisers, just click to their site and hang on a few seconds...i *think* that click-through adds to the income, or adds to the "desirability" of ads on your channel...
People pay for content in all kinds of areas - cable TV channels, Netflix, Disney, Spotify for music, podcast subscriptions - people should be/are willing to pay for content. You shouldn't be shy about asking for funding for the content you create. Getting £100 a month is a joke. RUclips (part of Alphabet/Google, obviously) generated $31 *Billion* dollars last year from ad sales - and that ad revenue wouldn't exist without your (and others') free content! You make the content and creators get peanuts. You'll know what content gets engagement and reach, so do more of that stuff! Short 'top tips' videos using old footage you already have might help, a few 'Top 10' and 'Do's and Don'ts' using stills might work (you'll know better than anyone). And you could maybe use free open-source software to edit footage and reduce wind noise with sound editing features. DaVinci Resolve is worth a look. Anyway, loving your work, the Harris hawk series was terrific.
Nowadays I freeloft mostly and only have them tethered when we are out there too. When I ran them from home I’d mix up big birds and little ones on weathering lawn . Nowadays you can get quite cheap wired enclosures if you google
Hi Dave i personally dont mind the audio issues you're outside it is what it is 😅 Id pay a monthly subscription as you said you donit to help people pass information on
Cheers ; I don’t want the main content to cost as I wan to get it out there . But maybe some sort of patroon type thing for those wanting a bit extra …
Wow Dave your channel is doing well, mine is not generating that, it’s more like £20 a month with one video a week, and filming daily many hours editing all week lol. I’m being TAXed double UK and America something to do with a tex residency form, I can’t seem to sort this out. RUclips algorithm is strange especially how a new video is shared and old ones just sit there, not good. Iv seen some channels where people can buy you a coffee, kind of nice, I have done this on some other channels I watch my self. I think your sound and filming is very good, overall it’s amazing from a phone. This channel deserves more so I hope you get some good ideas and all makes a difference.
£20; £100 when you think of the time editing and indeed filming , and the kit you buy just for it , it costs a fair bit to run a channel eh. Like everything there’s always more kit you need !
@freebirdofreason1994; Are you an American citizen? If som you're a bitbsone for, but, if not, but you're getting paid feom ghe USA, there is a form that you can do to stop them taking the USA "non-resident tax" i had to muck about with it for my stock photo agency income, when i was withr Tony Stone/Getty...it's a bit of a pain, but the USA likes to siphon off every penny they can!
@@falconry.davesharpenatureboy it's certainly not a business, just as you say good to share a passion , and in some way show the good side of falconry and try to combat the negative uneducated anti everything keyboard warriors.
One thing the viewers can do as ive noticed upto now there is 112 views but only 22 likes. Iff you like the video then press the like button as this helps the channel.
iPhone 12 mini , very selective now as to what it accepts plugged into its bum hole! Tried all the RUclips video help but it won’t have it ( so I record a twenty min video and there is audio recorders hehe)
Hi Dave - £100 per month well over paid!!! I saw a channel on RUclips that had a tip jar displayed on the screen, where viewers could make a donation to support the channel (this was done during a live chat session). Could you could possibly set a goal via this method to raise funding for a drone to help make better contact. While not a permanent funding stream it may help in the short term with the tech and get you up and running with, say a DJI Mini 4. You had also thought about running a falconry weekend, did you ever get a chance to think any more about it?
Dji mini 4 is the one on my mind for sure . Cheers for the ideas Ye sits still in the possibility bracket but I’m trying to sort issues out with the house here as to what degree I can do it. Stay tuned I’ll have an update at least soon

Here’s for that input ; lots to think about ! Keep an eye on channel I might try and get those in anyway !
Your doin a great job Dave!

If I was filming not watching the chillean would have done a great film! Mega!

Dave how do you keep your birds safe from predators such as foxes, especially when on the lawn? Or even rats at night?
Nowadays I freeloft mostly and only have them tethered when we are out there too. When I ran them from home I’d mix up big birds and little ones on weathering lawn . Nowadays you can get quite cheap wired enclosures if you google

Would love you to do a makeup tutorial Dave! 😂👍
Well I’d start by painting on some eyebrows!! Took statins ten years ago and my bushy eyebrows fell out within a week!!
Wow Dave your channel is doing well, mine is not generating that, it’s more like £20 a month with one video a week, and filming daily many hours editing all week lol.

Massively helps and costs nothing
There are some cheap drones you can buy for about £70 with decent recording cameras
Dave i loved your training a Harris hawk series, would you be likely to do a series on training a Gos?
Well……. Let’s just say I’m getting a secret new bird this summer ; ( if it hatches etc) stay tuned
@@falconry.davesharpenatureboy your secrets safe with me Dave ;)
Is it worth chatting to the lads at Fieldsports Britain? they might have some pointers
Could be ?
What kind of problems with getting a microphone connected to your iphone?(10, 11,13?),
Sometimes, one of your viewers could help?
iPhone 12 mini , very selective now as to what it accepts plugged into its bum hole! Tried all the RUclips video help but it won’t have it ( so I record a twenty min video and there is audio recorders hehe)
