Pt. 5 HOW TO TRAIN A HARRIS HAWK; Creance line call offs and more
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Henry is flying along now ( sorry) and tbh it’s like he’s read the training manual! In this part we see Henry go from gingerly jumping to the glove to confidently flying on the creance line as his training leaps a head .
He has so far had all the food he wants each day and his weight hasn’t dropped at all ; we are building confidence with our method not rushing the bird based on severe hunger .
Lots more tips too in this one …

You never forget the feeling of the first time your young bird jumps to your fist. The start of a very special bond between you and a wild animal, realising a childhood dream. Wish I still had the ability to have this lifestyle again.
It never gets old does it that first hop to the glove
Another Great video Dave great information . 👍
Cheers!
Brilliantly explained 👍
Hi Dave another great video you can't beat the feeling of the fist jump to the glove
Timeless
Nice one Dave.
Bloody hell he is a greedy little lad. He seems to be eating for 2 are you sure he's not pregnant 😂
Thanks again for sharing your journey.
Hehe he’s like a shew
Just found your channel and really enjoying it! I’ve been a falconer for… well say a a few years 😅 lol … that first jump from a new bird is always special as well as a relief ❤
Cheers ; you’re an old git like me then hehe
Man, oh man, that hawk is a fast learner! Seems to be a Harris's trait?
Must be a real delight for you to see this level of calm, and intelligence, in your new partner?
He’s lovely so far , about to fly free today if the wind eases off!
Another great video Dave .... well done 👌
Thank you I really enjoy watching your channel and look forward to watching the next one
Thanks for that
Always a packed video of knowledge, very enjoyable learning tips and tricks.
Henry has a well earned trust in you, lovely way of training.
Look forward to more.
He went very high in the wind today ! But at least the creance has gone now !!
@@falconry.davesharpenatureboy Did you capture on video. Good to get rid of creance yes.

Lovely jubbley
Absolute pro x 2
Loving the videos has I am new to harris hawks n hoping to own my own 1day
More to come…
Bit of an odd question, but is there a reason why you bring the jesses between your forefinger and middle finger or is it just personal preference? I've always done and seen others putting the jesses between the middle finger and the ring finger for the safety postion.
Loving the videos as always and I hope things keep going so well for you and Henry!
Yeah, you’ll see me swap and change there
Fab video and still learning. Now in my 3rd season with my male Harris’ inspired and learned by following you and ‘freebirdofreason’ with Woodie.
Mine is quite a small male and if I allow him to feed to a full crop even with de yolked chicks as you did in this video it takes days for his weight to come down again (even though he’s free lofted and moving around). But I’m concerned about not feeding enough?
If you’re feeding and then his weight won’t budge he’s high in weight , if he’s too low you’ll find he may not gain weight on one feed a day …
Great video as usual Dave, any thoughts on how to cure a bird flying from the perch to you before you call it. I find females more inclined to do this. Your not ready and all of a sudden you have a bird coming to you at a rate of knots. I have had it happen with birds that were not even that low in weight.
Pretty much get them going loose really or get someone else to let them off if you need to double check anyting on creance ..
Is there a reason you use lbs instead of grams Dave. I would imagine grams would be more precise or do we need to be that spot on
Because I’m old……. Hehe
Same as that Dave (66 this year) if I don't need to be that precise I will go back to lbs, it's what I am used to. Same with feet and inches😂😂😂
Hi a bit off a silly question what if your a bad Whistler would you use a Whistle when training
Yeah lots of folk do
@@falconry.davesharpenatureboy hi Dave Thanks buddy, really loving the content you are sharing with us all. I can really see your passion for these birds and as myself as a Novice, I bought my first book Falconry for beginners Adrian hallgarth and there’s clearly so much to learn about these Birds of pray And a lot of respect to maintain within falconry So my journey to becoming a Harris hawk owner is well on its way very green at the moment, but I’m in no rush to owning the birds I want full knowledge beforehand. Thanks again Jack
@user-km6bw4wh5c that’s the way; learn all you can first
