New Mews Overview For Falconry
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- After passing my Falconry test this year, the work began. I consulting with my Sponsor and we came up with a game plan for the mews. I got it built and thought i would share it. looking at other peoples Mews was a big help in building mine and here is a overview of it. The building is 10x14 with the main chamber being 10x10. the dead room is 10x4. Just big enough for my equipment and daily weighing of my bird.
love the mews. would love to see more about your journey on becoming a falconer.
Great job! I am working on now.
Really appreciate the video. I just passed my exam and am gonna build my own mews. I've never built a wooden structure in my life other than bushcraft/survival shelters from paracord and trees. Should be a real shit show. Thanks for giving me a direction to go in!
Hey! Im taking my exam at the end of the summer. How difficult was it when you took it?
@@MadiChampagne Well it was about as hard as I expected. Look at the quizlet flashcards online for it. Those are pretty close to it. But you're gonna get quizzed on equipment, hunting /flight styles the most. Bird anatomy was pretty light. If you do the flashcards and read a few short falconry books you should be fine. I read - Falconer's apprentice, four fundamentals of falconry, the red tailed hawk, and a couple others but the quizlet flashcards are enough to pass.
@@codycox2685 Would you mind providing me with the link to the Quizlet you're referring to?
@@MadiChampagne google - Quizlet falconry exam. Several will pop up and they're all pretty much the same. I didn't stay with a particular one. I would get good at one and then try the next one so I got exposed to lot's of questions. You'll quickly see how similar they are once you dive in. Pick one and roll with it Madi. But don't neglect the actual books, which is what will lead to you actually understanding all the flashcard shit you memorized :)
@@MadiChampagne You need to really really understand the differences between Accipiters, Falcons, and Buteos without simply memorizing them. Then move on to what they eat and how each hunts. After that I would suggest developing an understanding of the required gear, then move on to the actual care and husbandry, which was surprisingly the least touched topic in the test.
Your mews is spot on. I love it! What did you use for your vehicle window bars? Where are you located? Do you have need to insulate it? I'm in Minnesota so that would be something I would do. Very well done.
I dont have it insulated. In the wild they are not insulated. In the muse they do have shelter and have a wind block
What is the floor in the outdoor part? Did you plywood everything or is there gravel in the outdoor part?
What if you don’t have any shade to build the mews under? Is it required to have the mews shaded?
What do you do about cleaning the floor, it’s made of wood , won’t it rot ?
Why do they have to have a fancy name for a pen?
Chris I had watched this before but didn’t realize it was you when I was at the academy back in August
Was good to meet you.
That mews is perfect. Good job.
OSH :-)
I looked at alot of them when planning mine. Thats why I wanted to put it on here to give others that was in my shoes more food for thought. Thanks for the comment. The equipment room is working out nice.

I don't usually give advice, but I think I should in your case. When you free loft birds, they tend to get restless. They're going to fly around and if you only have two perches, they're going to get bored with those and start landing on the ground, the ledge where you're vertical bars are and possibly start dulling their talens. I would recommend putting a couple more perches higher up, the like that. Just something to think about.

Awesome
Cool video very interesting!
Nice job , how much $ do you have into it?
I already had some of the materials and did the work myself. Cash outlay maybe 800
Sr I wonder if you can help me I going to take my test in two months I wonder if you can recommend a good book to get prepared for the test or if you can told me what tipe of cuestion are in the test thanks
California hawkers guide. There study guide is great. I really do need to make another video on that subject.
@@georgiamountainoutdoors8538 thanks man I actually have the book order good to hear that is a good book I will be waiting for moar videos be nice talk about what Cain of cuestion we should be prepared thanks for the imfo
There's an apprentice study guide. Go to the California Hawking club website, you should be able to order it from there
I believe every US falconer needs a copy of North American falconry and hunting hawks by Bebe & Webster.
I've got the apprentice study guide ( www.mikesfalconry.com/Apprentice-Study-Guide-p/4000.htm ) recommended by my potential sponsor. He also strongly suggested reading The Red-Tailed Hawk by Liam J. McGranaghan ( www.mikesfalconry.com/The-Red-Tailed-Hawk-p/4003.htm). I've not regretted my purchases so far.
I'm really excited to start this next year! I'm 14, which is the age requirement to start falconry in my state. I need help finding a sponsor, that's the main obstacle right now
Zatch 101 good luck!im planning taking the test next year and having the same problem. I know in my state they have hawk meetups and groups so maybe you can find one there?
Nice video!
What books did you read to study?
I am behind on my vids. Sorry about that. California hawking club. There study guide. Georgia falconry associations study guide.
@@georgiamountainoutdoors8538 ok awesome, and with those 2 you passed?? I just want to make sure I get what I need to pass haha
I read alot of stuff on the net but that is what I studied. I also read a book called the red tailed hawk. It's good for the actual training and I guess it reinforce what's in the other 2 books
