I have to ask, you tipbit a lot rather than wait for Rip to feed from fist himself. This will slow his weight loss, but also slow his willingness to feed/jump to the fist. Keen to hear why you go this way training wise.
I find the more food that I offer makes him want to come to my glove quicker also what my videos don't show are the hours of sitting with a piece to or two waiting for him. I have a set amount of food that he will get whether he jumps or doesn't jump. Yes this can slow down the training but it's about building trust.
@@ACRfalconry Many thanks for.taking the time to.reply. Sadly we in the UK do not get to fly any wild taken birds. Always good to see different ways of achieving the same goal.
How do you manage all the defecating? Any info or tips on how to limit this, or maybe its not an issue? I think it's amazing he can be partially trained indoors, but my wife isn't thrilled about the idea...
I think it’s crazy how much different y’all do things, the “purists” where I’m from would drop an apprentice over some of the things you do, but obviously they work.
ive watched them all so far and enjoyed every one of them, keep them coming,,,,, excellent.
you must have the patienceof a saint.
Great work!
Thanks
Congrats on hitting 1k!
Thanks
I’ve just joined the Ontario Hawking Club too! Any advice on finding a sponsor?
Msg the hawking club or look up local Facebook groups
@@ACRfalconry I hadn’t thought about Facebook groups, thanks!
Nice job. Good luck 1000
Thanks
One recommendation. Don't use your bare hand to feel and allow the Hawk to associate it with food. Use a glove or forceps/tongs
I love the tongs for the first part of training for that exact reason. 🙂
now he's got it 😄😄😄😄
It definitely takes patiences. Thx for watching
the last couple of days he does'nt seem hungry enough to jump to the glove.
Nice 👍

I put down a sheet of plastic when kept indoors
Put a tarp under the bow perch

I agree. Never took more than 14 days for my birds to be flying free.
What are you feeding him?
Quail
May I ask what rip’s trapped weight was and how heavy she is now. I enjoy watching your videos. Thanks
