- The next level of the basic fundamentals about lure training a bird of prey. An introduction to those who are interested in learning more about falconry and flying a bird of prey free in the wild. See a falcon and a hawk work the basics of learning to fly free and taking it to the next level.
This is Part 2 - taking it to the next level. Please see Part 1: How to train a bird of prey to the lure, getting started.
Once I have a bird flying to the lure on the creance, I tend to do the rest of my training out in the field. I move right into the areas where the bird will be flying. In my case, giving birds of prey educational presentations at a zoological park, I also work my birds with crowds of people in the areas where I plan to free fly the bird.

Falconry is practiced in many countries around the world, and the viewpoints of other falconers may be different than mine. That's ok, because there are often times many ways to get the results that we are looking for in our birds.

Nice video. Sometimes I just don't put meat on the lure and I get a bit in my glove, then I call to the lure and when the bird realizes that there isn't meat there it jumps right away to my fist. I do that every so often. I also had a Harris and I never used a hood and I had 0 issues, but each bird is its own individual. Thanks for taking the time to do this videos, new subscriber here!!!
Welcome aboard. Exactly, that is what I have found to be the best way to get a bird to fly from the lure to your glove. Either periodically have no food or very little food on the lure then have some food on the glove visible to the bird so as soon as done on lure and the bird starts looking around for more, he/she sees the food on the glove. Thank you for your comment.
This video is taking the lure training from Part 1 to the next level. The transition from using the creance to total free flight of both falcon and hawk.
I cannot believe I just found your channel out now! This was very helpful. Big thank you from Turkey❤ Can you please do part 3?
Hello, glad you found my channel and that it has been helpful. I have a new Lanner falcon that I will be working with. We are not yet to the point to begin introducing the lure, but I plan to capture her lure training on video for editing and posting to my channel. I would hope to see the video posting sometime towards end of October 2023.
Ok! I will be looking forward to it. Good luck with your new lanner falcon.
Hi mate enjoyed the video. Quick question .my young lanner falcon will fly a short distance to the lure but will not go for a grab when I'm swing the lure and drop it .any ideas. Glove response is good so I have kept her feeding of the lure now but she's not putting in the effort to come a distance to grab it
Many thanks
Hello Stew, Glad you liked the video,
With the information you provided is appears that you might have to drop her weight a bit more. Another thing you can try to do is if she is coming to the lure at least a short distance 10-15 feet. Just dangle the lure off the ground a few feet from the ground while standing back 10-15', see if you can get her to come to the lure and grab it while in this position. Even if she lands by it then jumps up to grab the food. If so, then you can start swinging it back and forth like the pendulum of a grandfather clock. Keep stepping back further and bring more motion to the lure. Sometimes when you sing a lure in a full circle to a young/fresh bird it kind of intimidates them a bit at first. See if this helps, but it also may just be you need to drop her weight more. Personally, if she is responding well at the weight you are using - I would only drop her weight more after you tried the dangling lure idea a few times. Let me know if you make progress, and good luck to you. My Lanner tiercel was flying with me at a zoological park this past weekend for fall festival. Just wanted to add, that I really like the Lanner falcon for lure flying!
@@falconquest-birdsofprey7326 thanks for replying mate👍I will certainly try those tips .really appreciate the advice. I've dropped her about 3% .but definitely think your right she may need to come down a bit. She's a great little bird though.😀 .
I let you know how I get on
Keep those videos coming. Really enjoying them.
Best wishes
Stewart 👍
Hi mate your tip worked a treat 😀👍she's going well now the penny has dropped .I dropped her a bit and then brought her back up.
Thanks for you help and advice👍
@@stewgordon9291 Awesome, I was fairly certain that if you just dropped her a bit more that be the ticket, and glad it worked out when you tried it. Appreciate the feedback.
