He’s an adorable and fluffy baby.
Awe. When his little eyeballs rolled up in his head and he dozed off on the glove that melted me completely.
Just LOOK at that darling, cuddly baby toddling around on feet bigger than he is!!! I want to start hugging and cuddling! And he's so loving!!! It's wonderful to watch him climb and perch onto laps, and to play with that ball of yarn, just like a human baby would! And Duke grew up to be so BEAUTIFUL!!! Falcons are my favorite birds. I'm so envious watching your hands-on care! I'd sell my eye teeth for such an opportunity (LOL)!!
Your birds and you are beautiful... Thank you for sharing them with us especially Fable...
truly amazing to get to see the development from all gangly feet legs .... into such a powerfully focused force of nature!
Duke's first strutting walk at the beginning was priceless and his turning his back to the camera and splicing was wonderful political commentary!!!
Thanks!!!
Gerard.Manley Hopkins’ famous poem “The Windhover” presents an idealised and remote depiction of a falcon, but this video presents a more endearing and sympathetic picture. It takes us inside his world as he literally finds his feet as a wobbly, vulnerable chick and gradually learns how to be a fully fledged falcon. Love your beautiful garden btw!
Absolutely amazing! Had it not been for C-19 and trawling through Utube to find something to watch, I would never have known about your beautiful birds. Thank you for posting these videos and I look forward to watching many more.

Thanks
props on the music -- wonderful!
To go from a helpless, ungainly ball of fluff to a ravenous predator in a mere three months is amazing.
Happy hunting Duke!
Soooooooooooooooooo cute
The filming and music was perfect. Trippy moves they make when learning about their wings. Thank you for sharing this awesomeness.
Krystle Cague -- I noticed that as well. Appropriate funky music as Duke is developing, and then, later, "Inspirational" music when he begins to fly. Well done!
Omg I have seen it all. These little ones kill me. So fluffy and white. Looking like little ostriches. Oh so sweet. And that pooper shooter they have 🤣🤣.. wow what a transformation. The colors are stunning. Beautiful bird. Tysm for sharing this. Very interesting. Darn huge feet. Talons. ❤
I never knew that I needed this in my life.
Wonderful site and the music is great. Just right for flying.
Big hug & regards to Fable.
Oh my God, thank you so much for this. What an experience to follow along! Something of a mystical experience for me. Deep gratitude to you and your charges.
Such commitment and dedication to your little Duke.
Hard work and effort return the privilege to experience his (and other Falcons) life so very up-close and personal.
Thank you for sharing Duke's video story.
Top 3:
#1 Balancing on 1 leg was impressive.
#2 Falling asleep so adorable.
#3 Projectile poop! (Just like a silkie chick)
Bravo Duke!!
The difference between 21 days and 42 days is amazing! In just 3 weeks it went from half its feathers and barely able to walk to flying.
my first look at a Lanner Falcon...simply beautiful...I noted the blue coloring... wow
that's one of a happy healthy bird, so pleasant to watch it!
I am incredibly proud, moved and happy for you, your partner, and family of birds. Thank you very much for providing us this look into Falconry. For educating us on proper techniques, showing us your birds, and offering a glimpse into your daily lives. I can't wait to show my 3 daughters this channel and these fantastic videos :)
Wonderful to see the transformation from the ball of fluff at the beginning to the handsome bird taking flight for the first time! I watched this immediately after watching your "Introducing Duke" video, showing the gorgeousness of his fully developed plumage, which highlighted for me how much more development he still had to go through after his first flight. Thank you!
I love how birds go from adorably ugly, helpless little fluff balls, so some of the most majestic creatures out there. Except for kiwis, they look better as babies, all fuzzy and cute, because their so developed (that's the point of the massive egss) they grow into shy fat awkward creatures. Lol
I’d say it’s the second best puberty, after butterflies and moths
"Fat shy awkward creatures" I felt that.
I didn't know that people from New Zealand hatched from massive eggs.
Cutenesses doesn’t guarantee Survival.
Nature doesn’t give a fuck if you’re cute.
Its cool that you can have them in your home and have them come to you, he seems like you could pet him more since you brought him up from a baby, which he reminds me of one of those dogs where their paws are so BIG when they are puppies, his feet are so big for him as a baby lol, It looks like when he closes his eyes, its from the bottom up and not from the lid down like a human, does he also have 2 different eyelids to protect him from dust or dirt? I really like him, and his coloring too, it was such a joy to watch him grow up thanks
Handsome bird raised with care and patience
Damn you, I wasn't expecting an LBP nostalgia punch in the gut with those songs.
Thank you for an amazing video documentary. Birds of prey and falcons in particular are the most beautiful, striking animal. I have rescued and raised a 3 or 4 day old pigeon and I know, not nearly the same. :-) but I can relate to the growing process and to some of the training because I did actually so a bit of training with him. Pigeons are incredibly smart. Your video brings it all back to me and really makes me want to learn to be a falconer. To see them go from little fledglings into strong, self sufficient, gorgeous creatures, flying free .... I so admire what you do and the dedication involved in training.

It's very satisfying thing that you rescued anyone and watch he/she growing day by day and one day he is able to fly without any help
Tina Christyna Holland pidgins are smart? I never heard that before
Loved the music....it matched perfectly.
Sometimes I gotta come back and replay this video, too cute, and great choice of music 😁
What a personality! Watching him in the bath especially cracked me up. You did good with him.
I'm sure your wonderful birds are secretly very thankful for you...great video 🤗
This is a priceless journey to witness. Thank you so much for making this video.
wow, what a rewarding couple of months!
Talk about getting out over your skis! Duke is wonderful!
Omg so precious. I recently rescued 3 baby falcons and wow what an experience. I had to bring them to our local SPCA because I couldn’t get to the next. Just adorable…….
Oh My this is just cuteness overload 😇😄
The great king of flying. Very sensitive way of growing this most beautiful FALCON amazing performer 🌹❤♥️💚💗💛💙💜🧡
Beautiful blue feet and beak!
What a beautiful bird!
How stinking adorable!!! I love birds of prey ❤️🐦
oh my gosh! So Adorable!! Their feet are huge
You certainly have a wonderful gift with all types of birds of prey!!! So beautiful to Watch you raise and train and love these birds!!! 💖💖💖🤗👏😉😄
Fantastic ... fell in love with falconry ... long and exciting journey ahead ...
Best wishes for all
He really had to grow into those BIG feet! He is a Gr8! looking adult bird. Thanks for sharing him!
Thanks for highlighting my comment- assuming you did! Your videos are really good! It's funny how some people work so hard to get 50,000 subscribers. You are ABOVE that, and waltzed to over a hundred thou! Bless You!
Well done. Duke and all.
Beautiful, an old craft still alive today
Mastering those huge feet & wings in such a short time! I hear owls in my rural N. Georgia USA neighborhood right now. Have found some cool pellets to dissect, apparently there's lots of good bunny prey around. Appreciate your care for these sky masters, have you ever had a bird not return to you? Do they get the urge to breed?
Thank you for sharing your birds with us! I've been learning alot. Plus, with your videos and knowlwdge of falconry, it's peaked an interest in birds of prey!!!
Young lady this is a great Video. They do learn from you. Awesome place you have.
Thank you so much for your videos, they have helped me to get through some very difficult times.
Completely breath taking. You have a gift that is very special and the way you go about making sure you thoroughly explain every aspect on your videos is awsome. Thank you
Is Duke at adult age now So Cool how in just a little time how Duke grew. God Bless Love and Peace to You

That was so awesome seeing Dukes growth thanks for sharing it😍😍
the feeding videos where he is looping back really hit me in a weird way and i got pretty emotional with the way he was performing. the fact that those instincts could be brought to fruition through the aid of a human is very impressive and beautiful in a way.
Im a bird watcher. Thank you for Art, work and preservation of birds of prey.🦅
You are an excellent Conservationist. 👍👏
Poor fuzz dumpling!😚❤
They grow up so fast!
Groovy music epic characters
Truth
Its from little big planet
@@ReeceRedman AH i knew it sounded so familiar!
From cute derp to majestic freedom flapper
Beautiful. Classy. Thank you.
Lanner Falcon! I'm not familiar with this bird. I noticed how the stages of development in action /cognition coincide with the appearance of new plumage. The music works BRILLIANTLY on this excellent film. Thanks so much for this! 🌟🎶👍
Amazing! Thank you for making this video. It's a great delight to watch. I see why the love for this craft exists!
I've often wondered how training a bird of prey worked. Im sure theres much more to it but thanks for sharing a little insight to it. 💜 beautiful bird!
Duke is a bad ass. You are an amazing person!
Lost my Pere/Saker to a wild Peregrine strike last year and have just reserved a Lannerete - ready in two weeks. Having watched your great film - Cant wait to get him going and flying loose on the cliffs of North Devon.
+Chris Wileman good luck Chris. Lannerets are my favourite bird to fly. The have hearts of gold :)
@@wingsandwildlands have you ever lost a bird doing free flights? I can only imagine the stress of it. Old words come to me "if you love something, let it free. If it comes back, it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was yours". Spectacular video, such care & effort!
Here for my several-times-a-week rewatch. I adore this video ❤
Gorgeous little falcon! I'm thinking about getting one.
Is crazy you can train a bird that can fly thousands of feet in the air and miles in range to come back home every time.
Thoes big old feet are getting you into all kinds of trouble my beautiful friend 😂
Thank you!
Just wonderful
You have to enjoy what you do. Hes Fantastic
I just love how they go from bony muppet to real bird x3
He is a beautiful bird
What a precious baby dinosaur.
What a beautiful video
Wonderful video on a sport that's thousands of years old💙
What a cutie and such an impressive video. Love your stuff!
It's like watching a person get drunk in reverse - this little fella is sobering up!
Love the little big planet music.
Beautiful
Amazing
Little buddy is so cute!
...awesome video. Educational.
The cutest little wobble baby
Great video.
Anyone trying to understand what dinosaurs were like need look no further. Marvelous birds.
0:20 muh boots are too big 😅
He just busy doing all his exercising, but it looks funny!!
Eeeeeee! He's so cute. I love his huge feets.
very nice
Enchanting!
Hehehe i loved that poo shot.
Those feet are intimidating!
They pretty much go anywhere, any time
Jeepers, those tootsies are COLOSSAL!
Great video and love the music from around 5 :30.. what is the track?
6 year old video? I guess I have a lot of catching up to do 😊
Have I just found a raptor that I love more than the Peregrine? 🤔🤔
Back again for the adorbs 😍
OMGoodness ... beautiful too ... aww
I love birds and all animals
