Falconry Diary | Cloud the Goshawk | Part 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2020
- Welcome to the second part of a series of training diaries documenting the process of training a falconry hawk. I hope to give you an insight into the work involved and the way the hawk develops as training progresses.
There are lots of ways to approach falconry and training raptors. This is a way that works for me. Often I will tweak what I do depending on the bird as each are individuals. That's, after all, what makes falconry so challenging and interesting.

I so miss all of this, I’m 66yrs old and disabled now but I have lovely memories of my Falconry past, thank you so much for these videos, I’m as excited as you are watching the birds progress 💕
why do i feel like cloud is like "huh, i dunno about this scale" and fable would be like "wheee, it bounces up and down!"
Hex I think Fable would try to take the weights and hide them with his treasures :)
Well, ravens are much smarter than raptors.....no shade on Cloud, raptors don’t NEED the brains of a Corvid, since they’re designed to hunt for their food.....sight it and attack rather than forage thru various types of environments, with all the attendant issues that can arise. Play.....using imagination to use things for other than their intended purpose, for fun, is both a result, and an indicator of intelligence. This is why the raptors can be put out to weather and be perfectly content. They have things to watch, they have sun and rain and wind, water and they’re happy. Fable tho, needs all the toys, and company, and activity around her to keep her mind occupied, because she’s always thinking, always investigating and without any outlets for that need she would be a very unhappy creature, which she obviously is not. It’s so cool to watch Cloud developing a trust. Won’t be long before he’ll be flying at this rate.....exciting
@@6falconsue Right!? lol Goshawks seem a bit more serious... Well Fable has been around for a while too. Takes my mind off things for just a bit.
@@6falconsue 'Snap' :)
Things suck right now. This channel makes things a little a less sucky just so you know
True! I watch this,and a raccoon Whisperer in Nova Scotia. No tv. No news, too depressing.
I was having a panic attack and couldn't find a way to calm down. Between this video and a bunch of frog TikToks I'm good again now :)
Just don't combine the two - then it's just frogs having panic attacks.
For the record I totally relate, it's just easier to hide things with poor form attempts at humor.
@Dean Hilleary It was a benign joke (humour from community, not superiority) and you explained right after. I liked this entire exchange. Very wholesome, thanks for that! Have a good one!
@Johny Burcham I personally watch ducks or seals. I might give frogs a try now, maybe there's untapped potential there. Have a good one, as well!
You make lovely videos, really informative and relaxing to watch.
Thank you - I try to make it interesting to everyone. A chance to chill in a crazy unpredictable world x
Exactly. Made my blood pressure come down 😂😊
You are such a joy to watch. You have a natural calm that comes through so wonderfully on your videos. Even though I originally came for Fable, I am excited to see all your videos and I'm developing such an interest in falconry, and all your teachings. Thank you.
TL:DR - Boop Boop! Ohh Shiny!
Same! I love it :D
Me too!
That is so amazing to see the progress! From him not wanting to be near you and hiding his food from you to him being ok with hopping back on your hand! I can see how much you really care about your birds!!
Cloud is a handsome chap and I have a feeling he's going to be dazzling us all with his abilities before too long. Another hugely informative video, Amy, thank you.
It’s hard to believe this is all new to Cloud; he seems like a pro. I’m so happy for both of you!
I read "H is for Hawk" a book about the Author's journey training her own Goshawk and became fascinated by the process & the birds. I love your channel and that you're sharing Cloud's training! :) I've learned so much about falconry from your videos.
I think in a couple of years, he will wear his dad's crown just fine. He seems to be a smart, laid back raptor. I look forward to watching his growth!
Threading the creance through that gromit is a bit of brilliance. Gonna steal that.
It's something simple but once I realised how well it would work I wonder why I've done it any other way!
@@FalconryAndMe yes I thought the same , brilliant.
There was one through her bag and one through her shoe also I guess!!
I am not a falconer but I am gonna steal her fashion sense for those shoes :D
Yes, and the one handed swivel trick was nicely done as well.
I’m so glad to have come across your channel. I love the way you explain the training. Thank you.
Glad you enjoy it!
I just love watching & listening to you go through the training. 💜
I am really enjoying this series! It's so heartwarming to see a wild animal slowly begin to trust a kind human, and we get to watch it up close. Thanks so much!
This girl should have her own TV show.
No they will over produce it so it won't have the genuineness that I feel is what I find attractive about it.
@@michaelgough4920 yeah the last thing the world needs is Amy being driven around in a limousine, drinking out of a pimp cup and acting like a screwy celebrity.
Seriously though she is pretty impressive.
@@jiveturkey9993 pimp cup?? 😆😆😆😉
@@michaelgough4920 Agree!
@@jiveturkey9993 🤣🤣
Falconry thy name is PATIENCE! Bravo!! 🥰❤️👍
It really is!
I've never had such a difficult time keeping my word...I wait for my partner to be free and then we watch your videos together - It was very difficult to have to wait until this morning but it was sooooo worth it! Yay Cloud! Loved seeing your silly excitement Amy - felt it with you :D
I hope you truly feel how much we appreciate you, your work and your videos!
Cloud is such a beautiful bird!
I LOVED this and watched the entire thing. It's beautiful to watch on a big TV too. You're an inspiring lady, and I'm sure there's lot of young people watching this channel thinking, "Hey, maybe I can learn that one day!" Blessings
Yes! It's great quality video on a big TV
I'd be interested to know how much of your methods are hundreds of years old and how much is based on more 'modern' developments in falconry. Thank you for the video, truly fascinating to watch.
Pretty much all the methods I use have been done so for 100s of years. It's amazing!
@@FalconryAndMe your audio and editing are pretty damn good for being such old techniques. More than a few content creators could learn a thing or two from you. You also lead to me recently learning that the Australian Magpies around here aren't actually Corvids. I think it's a credit to you that your content isn't just informative, it encourages a further pursuit of knowledge.
Or, it's been done for hundreds of years but you've probably been responsible for maybe 100 000 more people being interested in knowing more about it that the total number otherwise in the last century.
Yeah! Cloud is doing so well.
He was adding his 2 cents at the end as well. LOL xx
Yes, I noted his 2 cents worth at the end. Guess he needed to join in the chat...
So true about adding his two cents
A young goshawk (6-7 months) stayed in a tree on my tiny Ontario farm for four days one fall. I fed him well so he had no interest in my free-range chickens and young turkeys. His beauty amazed me. All we did was sit and chat. Then he went ... south? Am not sure of their migration destinations from Canada. Thank you for showing Cloud to us.
Cloud is a magnificent bird, you are extremely lucky to work with such amazing creatures
Just heavenly to watch! I didn’t want it to end!!
Hi Craig
It's so cool to see the process of building trust in your relationship with one another. Your videos are fascinating and so fun to watch! Yay, Cloud!! He was such a little fuzz ball and now look at him! Stunning. I loved hearing his cute voice, too. 😆👍🏻❤
😭
Thank you for that...I am a young 60 year old but in my late teens I trained and flew Sparrowhawk and Buzzard and Kestrel and also manned a Golden Eagle, Eagle and Snowy Owls......you took me back to happy care free days> sweet peaceful memories:) Thank you.
theres so much to learn here, these birds really seem like a full time responsibility
Absolutely fantastic thanks for all you share.
I love his "baby bird" vocalizations.
So beautiful! I love the stripey tail!
14:40 "Hey, you got any more of that?"
This is the second time I've watched this all the way through, stopping to look at the closeups of Cloud. What a stunning creature.
It is so magical watching you with your birds!! I enjoy every video!!
*We want fable!!!*
*Joking, all you're vids are awesome!!*
More Fable coming soon :D
Necessity is the mother of invention.
Hope that helps.
Simply amazing!
Thank you!
Your knowledge, understanding , empathy and love for your work is so very obvious and admirable.
You are the perfect partner for the Prince's Of The Heavens.
Congratulations , The Princess of all Birds of Prey.
What a wonderful bird! Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Love this, wonderful to see you’re work
Cloud’s eyes are amazing to watch, so intense. Thanks for another great video. 💗💗💗
That was so interesting and well narrated. You’re very good with one hand! What a beautiful bird and it takes patience..which you have!
Take care 🇨🇦 ❤️
Adding to my vocabulary: I “bring him on.”
He “mantled” to hide his food from me.
As in drawing a mantle, or cloak, around the body.
Amazing!
I live hearing the sounds he makes.
That beak looks sharp.
The beak isn’t the painful end, the feet are. A bird of prey doesn’t use its beak defensively or in aggression....it’s purely an eating and preening tool. The feet and the talons are the weapons.
What a wonderful lesson in patience and perseverance, thank you!
Thank, thank you for this beautiful relaxing video and showing us your beautiful creatures! Just what I needed on this awful day here in the US.
Cloud as he pounces on his food reward: "MINE MINE YAAAY MINE!!"
With his forward facing beautiful eyes and streamlined body you immediately know his purpose .
Pretty sure Jet fighter designers are also Birds of Prey fans .
Look at the Hawker harrier & Hawker swift...🤔
And I love the lighting on Cloud over his left shoulder, good grief he is gorgeous. He also studies you as your talking to the camera, what fierce concentration
It’s definitely one of the best feelings ever when your bird starts to trust you fully best decision I ever made when I was 18 was to get into falconry the feeling of something needing you to keep a routine everyday and getting into the countryside got me out of a depression especially where I live with some of the best hunting ground in the whole of the uk(Scotland)
That first feed on fist never gets old after 30 +years I love it
Someone I work with has family who breed and train birds of prey and so this is extra interesting for me to watch! Thank you 😊👍
I marvel at the relationship you’re building with Cloud....he’s magnificent and to hear his ‘voice’ is wonderful. Congratulations on what has been achieved so far and thank you for sharing this journey with us.
way to go cloud keep up the good work both of you and what a beautiful looking bird he is
I loved the opening shot of "wtf is this, wtf are you?!"
You are so good with your bird's, your patience and love for them really shows, you truly are an exceptional Falconer and I look forward to each of your videos. Thank you for sharing the interactions, and training you do with all of your birds.
Fantastic , watching you and cloud develop and bond is simply amazing. Thank you for the vid.
Enjoyed sitting in on Clouds training sessions. Excellent video, narration and editing. I admire the Falconers way of life. Well done Amy. 🐦
Well done Amy!!! 🌸
I agree. You make these videos with such calm. I could watch them all day long! Such beauty.
I came for the Boop Boops, and now I’m hooked. Your dedication to these birds warms my soul. Thank you!
Fascinating training video Amy! Obviously, one has to have an incredible amount of patience to train these majestic Birds of Prey. Looking forward to watching how Cloud progresses with his training. 👍😉
Remarkable, such skill and patience on your part. It's a privilege to watch - please continue posting these videos!
Lovely video Amy! Such a great and intelligent bird, he learns well doesn’t he❗️
Your technique is patient and strong-
Which inspires trust as a trainer,
Great to watch🦅
You are the best Amy! These videos are so well done. I know GOD loves your work and loves how you love your birds. Boop boop.
This was so well made! I love these
That was the most incredible thing I've seen in quite some time. Honking at the end even.
I get so excited when I get notifications that a new Falconry and me video is up. I love watching how Cloud is developing.
Hubby caught me smiling ...? -"What makes you smile that
way ?" Cloud! - "Huh" He does not understand why I love these videos a lot. I had an uncle who was training birds a long time ago. Question: How old is that scale? Cloud definitely deserves a big crop for his work today.
Glad you like them! My scales are about 13 years old now!
Beautiful creatures, how can people harm them, look forward to the next one.
What a beautiful and rewarding job - keep 'em flying.
Fantastic to watch, it’s lovely to see the connection forming, Cloud is a lovely name, I’m sure you two will be wonderful team.
we are looking forward to the next episode, thank you.
This is so kickass.......I would never go near a bird that looks like that!! LOL!!
I love your content. So beautiful, entertaining and interesting.
That was really enjoyable to see Cloud advance.
That's fantastic to see the progress up close. Thank you for sharing...love it
My dad does a lot of falconry, so watching this has shown me a lot of familiar behaviours even if goshawks aren't a species we ever trained; it's interesting to see what's common and what's not between the various raptors.
Oh my,.. he has gorgeous markings. Well done, dear lady. I've learned so much.
Wow! This is just beautiful! Congrats to these awesome achievements 🥰
Yay! I was waiting for this Cloud is doing great! keep up the great work Amy/Cloud!
So magnificent.
Thank you Amy.
Magical content and such great music. Loving this.
Fascinating! - and beautiful
These birds are so beautiful, it's hard to believe they're real.
Another nice vid.Lovely bird,coming on really nicely.I hope when he’s fully trained we get to see him hunting.x
Love seeing the passion you have for your birds
Thank you. Such a treasure is your work and channel.
Thanks for that great vid Amy. It was really interesting and informative.
You're amazing and doing amazing work. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful! He's beautiful! Thanks for sharing!💜
Loved this video! Cloud is beautiful & you make it look so easy! 🦅
It is so wonderful watching you both, thank you.
well done,both of you,cheers.
One of my all time favorite books is The Once And Future KIng by T H White which I read the first time as a kid. The scene were Wart is sent to the mews by Merlyn is just riveting, it still thrills me. It took awhile to find a copy of The Goshawk, but it was well worth the effort. Finding this gem of a video that actually let see into what I thought was a bygone world was just the best. The video is so good! I found the commentary very clear and concise. I really enjoyed the falconers calm patience and obvious respect and affection for the hawk. And that bird, Wow! I shared this with my 90 yo mom and she was so struck with how beautiful and engaged the hawk was. I can't say enough how much I appreciated this video. Thank you for sharing!
Great production..! Enjoyed immensely...!
Amazing! Beautiful bird!♥️
Loved watching you and Cloud and your amazing progress! Terrific video and look forward to future ones.
Absolutely Beautiful! I love listening to him.
Straight thru the heart !!! 💖💖💖
Love you guys ...... 💯 💝
So enjoy your Cloud videos! Glad to see he's progressing nicely :-)
Well done Amy and Cloud!! So proud of your work together! Keep up and *boop boop* !
Excellent. So pleased to see him come on with you..
You have a lovely way with your birds. And with your videos. Thank you.
Most informative video ive found so far. Thank you for this!
