That is awesome. The way falconry methods are used for birds of prey can certainly help with other non-raptor species. For example, I have used for Von Der Decken's hornbill, toucan, African pied crow and raven, and etc. It is interesting to learn about how others are working with different species, and hoping your work with your peafowl turns out good for you.
A poorly titled video. Should be titled: Traditional falconry furniture to secure and handle a captive raptor. This has nothing to do with preventing a free-flying, captive raptor from raking off (rake away) or escaping.
True, I did not address a free -flying bird in this video as this video was not intended to address a free-flying raptor. Situations such as raking away during free flight or preventing escaped was not the topic. Not all shows or presentations involve free flying a bird of prey to an audience. This would be a topic for another video. The intent of this video is to show how to use the hardware/equipment for control of a bird (not just raptors)' while bringing the bird to groups of people. When one wants to bring a bird into unfamiliar areas such as a school program, or other groups of interested people how does one keep the bird sitting there on the glove or perch while speaking to the people? During many of my educational presentations I have had people ask me how do I keep the birds from flying away from off of my glove/fist? The use of anklets, jesses, swivel and a leash system is how we keep the bird from flying away from us. During one of my shows at a zoological park I had a local imprinted peacock fly up to us to try and drive away my falcon. The proper use of this equipment prevented the bird from flying off in an unfamiliar area, and kept her safe. I will consider making a video with the aforementioned free -flighted bird in mind.
Many people have asked me during my education programs how I keep the birds on my fist, so this video is in response to this. Many find it interesting, and thanks.

Thank you very much super useful information.
Glad that you have enjoyed the videos. I am hoping to be adding more content in May.
Thank you for this
My pleasure!
Thank you!!! I really appreciate you sharing your expertise. I am learning falconry methods to apply in perch and flight training my peafowl.

Awesome,the kind of bird?
Spectacled owl, native to the Amazon ecosystem South America

That is a good idea, I can do a little video of using the swivel. It may be a few days before I get to it.

I have used for African Pied Crow and White Necked Raven.
