Ok, i subscribed. 😁
Im a 43 year old white male. Ive been extremely passionate about falconry as far back as I can remember, but only learned that this way of life is still being done when RUclips first came out and a random falconry video appeared.
I was beside myself when that day i realized this could be an actual reality for me! 😲
Ive been studying and reading about it ever since. And today, I've come across YOUR videos for the first time and i really love your demeanor and professionalism! I'm actually shocked I've never seen your videos before. Well I'm here now lol
Once im able to buy my own home and property is when I'll be able to start my life as a falconer (as long as I can find a sponsor of course).
Anyway.....thank you for being you and sharing these videos with us!! I will be watching every one of them!
Hi there Dylan;
I'm so incredibly grateful the "random factors" aligned, and you were connected to our content.
We've been away for a while now, and just recently Joseph and I started discussing how we could go about starting up again.
Please let me know if you've got any questions I can offer some thoughts on, and I promise we'll do our best to get some new content up shortly.
Take care,
Jo
@@TheFalconLady Thank you... and yes... lol
.. i have many questions.
Thanks for Very informative and detailed video. Carry on uploading. You gain a new subscriber. Congratulations!!
Awesome! 👍 Thanks for posting! 👋
Thank you for enjoying it!! :) -Leah
Excellent idea about pausing after striking the braces. I learned something again, Thank you Joanne.
Good afternoon Ron;
You're entirely welcome - its all about both yourself *and* your Feathered-one having good habits.
By pausing for two or three seconds, you're helping your companion to understand a number of things, patience and "analysis" among them.
You can _still_ get a great slip from the hood (when you're hunting her); what this unhooding technique *will* do is teach her to take an extra half-second to _look_ for the quarry and _plan_ her flight as she leaves your gauntlet.
For those of us who aren't hunting our companions off the glove, teaching them to pause when the braces are struck tends to keep them in a calmer state (ie: less inclined toward bating) when the hood is removed entirely.
Thanks again for the support Ron - truly appreciate your enthusiasm and encouragement.
Best,
Jo
Lol! Still laughing. OMG still laughing! Best one yet! Loved this one. Great closeups! 🃏
We're here to educate and entertain dear lady!! :) -leah
Very nice and having Depth of Feild brings the production to a whole new level of professionalism.
Thank you so much Jason! :) -Leah
Hey Jason!
Thanks so much for the great feedback - so grateful for your insights and advice!
Best,
Jo
Great video as always! Would like to see a video of putting on the anklets. I may have missed it.
Absolutely David! We have not filmed that as of yet (so you haven't missed it), so we will film and upload that for sure! Thanks for the suggestion! :) -leah
you deserve more wayyyy more subs!
Well thank you very much for your words of encouragement and support, Wispy! Feel free to share our episodes with anyone who may be interested, we have really interesting and educational episodes every Saturday! :) -Leah
i find these vids so interesting. i had no idea you had to open the hoods with teeth!!
Thank you for stopping by to visit the channel - yes, removing a hood certainly _is_ an "experience"... 😉
Jo
This was a super helpful video! I'm studying falconry as a writer and trying to learn what I can to write it at least somewhat accurately. Thanks a lot!
Hello Kiki! Welcome to our channel and thank you so much for your kind words. As fellow creatives, we would absolutely love to help you out in any capacity we can - please feel free to get in touch with us here or via email if you have any questions! Not sure where exactly you're located, but we are running a workshop in Victoria BC in May of 2020 - hands on experience is invaluable as you know. Looking forward to chatting soon! :) -leah
Good evening Kiki;
We're so glad you're finding the materials here helpful to your writing.
I'm also working on a series ("high-fantasy") of novels where falcons figure prominently.
Please let me know if you've any specific questions needing nuanced answers for your story.
Best,
Jo
when do i get to read your guys' novels????
Which side of the anklet goes on the inside, against the leg?
I have a quick question. . . I've started working in the uk as a falconer for pest controle perposes. I'm still learning so i don't quite have my own bird yet but i spend every working day around falcons. My question is regards the swivel, as you said here in the uk we use the "D" type swivels with a large d shaped ring and a smaller round ring. The thing is i've always seen them used the other way around that is the jesses through the large ring and then the leash goes through the small round ring. Are we doing it wrong?
P.s. I love you video's, i'm learning lot's from them so please keep going with them :-)
Good morning Stacey;
Thank you for your great question - its *entirely* possible I'm doing it backwards!
The truth is, it made sense to me to employ the UK swivels in this way, so I trusted my instincts. Thus far - no headaches or issues, (knock on wood!).
Sometimes we innovate by accident, or stumble across a technique out of working in a 'vacuum'. Orienting the D-swivel the way I have _does_ work, however if you're comfortable using them the way you are currently using them, please stick with what makes sense to you.
I'm interested to know what kind of bird-abatement (pest control) you're engaged in - do you work at an airport?
Thank you again for your perceptive question!
Best,
Jo
100% wrong way round it’s now prone to jamming up well done for noticing that
please show me how you make jases
Keep it up I love your excellent videos.
here the equipment for falconry is very expensive, I made a hood for my bird and I lack the glove, the falconry slices and the pihuelas I also made them.
Greetings.
That is very cool my friend! There are some excellent resources online for making falconry gear and if you search "DIY Falconry" on facebook there will be folks that would love to help out! In addition, Mike's Falconry and Westweald Falconry have excellent anklets and jesses that are reasonably economical :) -Leah
Good evening;
Thanks so much for the wonderful support, I'm impressed to hear about you making your companion's hood!
What sorts of Falconry tools or items are on your wish-list?
What are you using for a gauntlet (glove) right now?
Best,
Jo
@@TheFalconLady Hello friends, in advance thank you very much for taking into account the opinions towards your work in falconry and friendship.
I tell you: I wear a small thin suede glove, and with that my son and I chopped it so that it begins to have confidence, and if it comes to the glove but we are afraid that some claw will get embedded in the glove, because it is very thin.
Thank you for your kind attention to all our comments.
Greetings ... keep it up
@@cibernet. Where are you located? Is it possible for you to purchase welding gloves where you are?
The specific welding gloves I'm thinking of are called "tig-gloves" here - they are robust enough to use as a gauntlet, and its reasonably easy to attach a "D-ring" to them.
If you like, Leah and I will shoot a #postcardvideo of me making one of these temporary gloves when we film the upcoming "equipment making" episodes.
Is there anything else you wish you had in your tool kit for working with your Feathered companion?
Best,
Jo
@@TheFalconLady
I had already thought about that but I thought they were too thin to withstand the claws of my bird, since the claws are large. But I will try.
millions of thanks...
Great content, I have a question please; is there any danger to your eyes 👀 from his beak. Just I curiosity
No, that is a misconception that birds will attack your eyes perpetuated by Hollywood.
The truth of it is that their beaks are not as strong as their feet. If you get a pinch from them on your finger, it's annoying but doesn't really hurt as much as if they "footed" you. Their feet are the strongest part on their body, hence the reason we wear the gloves. I hope that answers your question! If not, please let us know :) -Leah
@@TheFalconLady hat's right friend
Mohammad Al Shahrani, I have a white-tailed hawk and I am training him, my son feeds him and caresses him with his hands and has never attacked us.
As our friend Leah says it is false what they say about these birds, it is true that they defend themselves, but it is their instinct in the wild habitat. Regards...
what type of preys hunt sciroco with you
I want to purchase falcon hood and all accessories
how many years have that falcon
Good morning Gabriela;
'Scirocco' and I have been together for just over two-years now.
He's quite the handsome fellow, isn't he... :0)
Jo
The way you said “and there never should be” makes me think that you were thinking of a particular person..
Hi again Gillian;
You're _quite_ right - I *am* thinking of a particular person.
Some years ago, a "raptor centre" located near my previous home on Vancouver Island started promoting itself online with a series of peculiar (to say the _least_ ) videos.
One in particular absolutely shocked me to my core; the owner's eldest daughter was shown drawing the braces on the hood she'd just put on a Peregrine's head back so hard the falcon's head was ripped backwards.
Completely unacceptable technique, Unwarranted, unnecessary, and ham-handed in every regard.
Sadly, I've seen a lot of this, particularly in North America.
It is _wholly_ unnecessary_ , sloppy, and frankly cruel.
Best,
Jo
What’s the blurry bit on the vidio
Hello again William;
The blurry bit is my former assistant.
She no longer wished to appear on my channel, and now she doesn't.
Best,
Jo
Ok lass thanks good luck with everything you do , maybe one day I ll visit .
What’s up with all the blurred out parts
Good evening Barry;
My former assistant no longer wanted to appear in my videos.
Now...she doesn't. 😉
Best,
Jo
oh ok
Dat der hoood loooks more like a toque, eh? 😉😁
Serious question... If I'm hearing correctly, you refer to jesses "jess-ez" and what sounds like "jessies." I was under the impression that the word jess is singular and jesses "jess-ez" is plural. Are you being accommodating to people who may pronounce the word differently, is my understanding of the word flawed, or are the years of me being stationed with an artillery unit starting to catch up with me?
Good afternoon StoneE4;
Dat der hoood *_does_* looook more like a toque, no...? 😉
The correct plural of jess is 'jesses'.
its a bit of a mispronunciation on my part to say "jess-eez"...as you browse the old (and soon-to-be-replacement episodes), you'll occasionally hear me say "jess-says" (ie: jesses).
So whilst you _may_ be experiencing residual gunner's-mate ear-ringing, you've not misheard what I've been saying. 😊
I'll endeavour to be more consistent in my pronunciations - have a great day, and please stay safe.
Best ,
Jo
@@TheFalconLady - Thanks for the clarification (and for not accusing me of pedantry 😁).
One more question if you don't mind... What do you mean by "soon-to-be-replacement episodes" in your previous comment?
If I was u I’d change how u put leash in u have it wrong way round the swivel should be the other way with the leash in the circle then it won’t jam as easy as the jesses have more room the swivel then can do it’s job the circle end is made like that for the size of the knot lol 😂
Our apologies everyone - thank you for your patience. We uploaded this week's episode from a different (unfamiliar) location, thus the delay today.
Please share your thoughts and questions with us, let your friends and family-doctor know about us, and hit the subscribe/notifications buttons.
Best,
Jo
Absolutely!! I have to learn how to do that, so we will absolutely make a video about that! :) -Leah
Please come help me train, I will pay for airfare and accommodation. I’m in Jamaica
