Some traditions may seem old fashioned but this level of conservation will always be needed somewhere, thank you for your work! 😊👍
Hi Amy!
I'm one of the Peregrine Fund's California Condor biologists in northern Arizona in America. Thank you for your passionate and eloquent video, and we appreciate your shout-out. Keep spreading the good word!
Thanks Erin! Lovely to hear from you...and glad to shout out about your work!
Thank you for taking care of the Condors, Erin! They're so amazing!
Yes California condors are amazing! I helped with vulture reintroduction program in france
@Erin @ornithology dude and @Amy- thank you for your work. I too am a biologist from California, but my focus is in cell and molecular bio. I remember the day the 27th and last wild condor was removed from the wild to save the species from total extinction. I also remember watching nest camera footage of the first chick hatched and the joy of watching them slowly reintroduced into the wild. Thank you all for the immensely important work you do.
My wife and I went to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico and stayed at a resort a couple years ago. Randomly, as we were being lazy in our room, I see a guy walking by with a Falcon on his arm. Intrigued, I run out to get a picture of the beautiful bird, and the handler was TOTALLY cool and without thinking he took my phone and started pulling off his glove and let me hold the Falcon while he took a picture. It was probably my favorite part of the vacation.
OMG AWESOME!!!!
OMG! That would be so cool to experience!
Nice.
Damn that is amazing!
We had the same experience in Cozumel Mexico. Small world.
Connect to nature while we still can
The baby is going to live such an amazing life surrounded by majestic birds.
the peregrine falcon in arabic is شاهين (shaheen), it is one of the most popular falcons here in the middle east
Sophie is gorgeous! All of your birds are! So happy to see you / pls say hi to miss Fable for me! Hoping that you and the baby are coming along well and that you're able to catch your breath! ❣❣❣💖💖💖❣❣❣ Thank you for caring so well for the birds for the collective human race us! Thank you for this video!
So glad the Vultures are getting some love! When I went last to South Africa I visited a sanctaury with 40 or 50 vultures in an avairy, all of them had been poisoned and would never fly again. It was very sad to see.
The Vulture situation is heartbreaking. They are nature's recycling team and we need to give them loads of love!
I think there should be a story on countries and indigenous people respecting the carnivorous vulture. There are some very strange customs and beliefs when it comes to the vulture and they play an important role in the earth's ecosystem.
God, that's awful. Here in the U.S. vultures experience similar abuse. They're lovely creatures (even when their faces are covered in guts and stuff, lol) with an extremely important role. I would like to see more raptor ambassadors focus on vultures. Even if people don't like some of the things they do (tearing rubber seals out of car windows, puking up gross stuff), basic compassion for a living thing would be nice to see.
Each time I see a Red Tailed Hawk that lives around my home, I think of your videos. Just this morning the hawk flew across my yard and passed just a few feet above my head. Never any threats from the bird and I marvel at how it lives near me.
Have a great evening, boop boop :-D
Wow. That's super cool! I have a mated pair of red shouldered hawks who live in my area. I'll see them together often, and hear them more so, especially on nice afternoons
@@geoisacat That is super cool as well. It is amazing the wildlife around us if we just take the time to see :-)
We have a Raven pair living below the cliff and they come up and fly low over our front patio all the time. We say wow and boop boop to them! But they never talk back, lol. We'll keep trying!!
Hey Mark, you might like one I have here called hawk vs snake. I was in the woods metal detecting and stumbled upon a crazy scene. I think you would like it.
@@TheBlackSheepDiaries Wow :-)
Nice to see you back again. Hope all’s well with the bump.
A coincidence--the first falcon I ever saw up close was a peregrine also named Sophie :) The peregrine in my thumbnail is Gracie. She and her mate George nested on the top floor of my office building in San Francisco about 30 years ago for about 5 nesting seasons. A nest cam was set up by the Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group and the chicks were banded each year. So fun to watch the eyasses grow and fledge. Other nesting pairs have followed George and Gracie over the years and the nest cam is still going strong, as are several other nest cam sites in CA. The peregrine population in California has increased after almost disappearing, but is still endangered. Check out Sophie's nostrils--see the nostril cones? Large airplane engines have them, too. Falcons are nature's ultimate flying machines :) Lovely video--hope you're doing well, Amy! Your little future falconer should be arriving soon!
YAY!! Ive missed you! Hoping you and bump are safe and well xxx
There's a Falconer who comes to the local dump and has his falcon fend off hoards of seagulls. So cool to see!
I love your channel and the relationship you have with you flighted friends. Thank you
As a falconer, you can catch pigeons, which otherwise poop the entire monuments.
Rats of the roofs ... pigeons.
No peace with this kind of pigeons! 😇
Pigeons also have their place in the world. It’s not their fault they’re disease vectors......that’s OUR fault.
@@catzkeet4860 Well ... not seen from the falconer's perspective ..
@@catzkeet4860 - no one says it’s their fault. Why do you think that? Doesn’t mean they don’t need to be caught.
Very informative, I work in a school and one teacher was against keeping birds in captivity, she actually said it was cruel keeping a bird on a post, once I had shown my hawk to each class she came over and ask the right questions, by the finish of our chat she said i had no idea how dedicated you falconers were, and learnt that the birds are regularly flown and loved, and the post was a block.
Your channel in invaluable to keep the art up to date.
Thanks for sharing.
Your videos are a breath of fresh air. Wish you and the little one many blessings.
Amy know your brood is going to have a new addition soon & this chick will be incredibly lucky to be under the wing of such a intelligent, caring & loving mum! Best wishes to you, your entire family & all. Take care.. :-)
you know who i would not mess with? a pregnant lady with a raptor on her arm.
That falcon is one photogenic bird XD great video
Thanks glad to see you take care. 🍀
Nice to see you back, Amy. I hope all is well with you and bump.
Thank you for letting us spend some time with Sophie, she's beautiful! I know Fable is extraordinarily popular, but it's always a delight to see your raptors :)
You are an absolute ☆ and your birds are beautiful. I had no idea that I was interested in falconry until I found your channel. Thank you for sharing your passion :-)
It will be so much fun to see Baby grow, and follow you around taking care of your beloved birds in some tiny Wellies. Much good fortune!
Just being near such a magnificent bird is an amazing experience. Watching them up close is an honor.
Wonderful :-) What a fascinating pursuit. Agree, 100%, with everything you've said.
If you don't already, I think you should speak at schools.
Thank you for doing all you do, for these birds and indeed for our world.
You look radiant and beautiful!
Your channel is instrumental in getting more people interested in falconry, especially young people - we need to keep falconry alive for so many reasons. You are doing a wonderful thing here by sharing your knowledge! Plus, I just LOVE Fable the Raven and the way you share your understanding of each other.😊
The first person that decided to understand the life of any bird of prey, utilize this knowledge to and hunt with the bird, breed the bird and then hand this knowledge down - will never know what a favor he did for us and our earth in this modern age - and in generations to come!
Nice to see you back again. We do understand you must be quite busy and wish you the best. Your kindness, love, and discipline will make you a wonderful mother. Thanks for all your wonderful work.
For those of us who follow you ...we know you have these magnificent creatures best interests in mind. Thank you for caring. Respect from Texas.
Lovely to see you, Amy and your gorgeous Sophie. Thanks for another video - they really are the highlight of RUclips! ❤️
Falconry is so fascinating. You are a wonderful ambassador for this unique 'passed down' skill.
Lovely footage of birds!
Lovely to see you again. Thank you for sharing your love of birds of prey. ❤❤
Always a pleasure to see you and your awesome birds. Thanks
Beautiful Bird!
Yay! Glad to see you back. Much Aloha, Love and Blessings to you, "the bump", family, and all your birds. Please tell tell Fable "Boop! boop!"
Good to see you again say I was on a walk the other day and riding the thermal circling together was two eagles a red tail hawk in an Osprey I didn’t realize they all hung out together interesting what do you think
Fascinating video. I had no idea falconers worked closely with bird rehabilitators, but it makes sense. I hope your wee bairn will grow up to love falconry and carry on this beautiful, ancient tradition. Thanks, Amy!
Great video lesson as with every one you've put out. More than happy, totally committed to supporting your and teams work.
We need to support wildlife. Falcon's usually only get together for mating, then they are solidary birds. Falcon's are the fastest animal's on the planet earth. Thank you Amy for your love for these very special birds.
It’s always very inspiring to witness such a noble endeavor to educate people and protect wild life on our planet. Keep going, Amy! 🦅😊
There are a handful of ravens that live around where I work. Always smile when I see them. Such fascinating creatures, Fable included. Give her some Cali love 😊. Doot doot!
Brilliant to see you again!
I love this channel. Never considered supporting falconry until found your channel. You are beautiful inside and out. As your raven says, "BOOP"!
That was wonderful and informative!
Thank you for taking time out of your day to share your knowledge with us Very interesting, informative and gives hope that maybe nature can be healed before it's too late...best wishes to you and your growing family 🇺🇸
Thanks for your work
Great to see you again,
Love your channel and your great work. I saw three young Peregrines enjoying learning to fly last year, on the river Severn, UK.
Such stunners. Much love, peace.
You are so caring, involved and incredible, thank you for what you're doing! Take care of yourself!
Great information combined with beautifully clear images of birds of prey, Amy. Sophie is a little star and looked to be behaving very well in front of the camera. Hope you're settled in Cumbria and keeping well.
Aloha! Falconers take my breath away when I watch the relationship between bird & falconer. This was great! Thank you! Aloha nou!
So glad I clicked on your video,how interesting. Thankyou 💜
Hi from Turkey. looking for basic nature and camping videos, your channel shows up like an oasis in the desert. for a long time, I am quite interested with different species of owls. and of course ravens are amazing. In the other hand the falconary is amazing skill, hobby, kind of life style. just wanna thank you to share these videos. they are like a therapy.
Wonderful photos and videos of different birds! They are all so amazing! Thank you for what you do! Educating, sharing, not letting this skill die out. 👍🙏
Bravo! Brilliant presentation...
Wow. I won’t ever be a falconer however I am very grateful for falconers for conservation and stewardship reasons, and not just because I love watching your channel! Thank you for sharing this talk. Good luck with Baby😘
Can you do a video on how to tell if a bird is unwell Amy love to see you back again
@@scout1672 yup. She is a mum. Mothers are the most beautiful creatures in the world next to their children.
What a beautiful bird. Awesome talk ....as our natural environment shrinks, experts input becomes all the more valuable. Thanks for doing what u do.
I'd have given a huge HEART instead of just a small thumb up - thank you for your work and sharing with us!
Fantastic info and fantastic footage... made my day, yet again.
Good to see you again ❤ I've learned so much from you!
The Peregrine Falcon is my absolute my favorite bird (after Fable of course , Boop Boop)
“It’s up to us, as custodians of this planet” 💚
Hi! Amy! Lovely to see you again! Beautiful Falcon with you there! Lovely to hear your stories! Hope all is well in your new home and with you all! Boop Boop Wows to all! 🙂🇬🇧🏴
Thank you so much for sharing with us and for all you do. I work with very young humans, and I wish you all the best with your newest venture 💕💕
Excellent presentation. Thankyou.
My first reaction was "what do you mean, why is it relevant? because people enjoy doing it." That is to say, as a theoretical mathematician, I don't think every thing anyone does has to be immediately "useful" or "practical" all at once. Art is relevant!
But later in the video 8:07 Amy said " long gone are the days where wildlife could exist in piece without human interruption so it's up to us..." to support the wildlife. Which gets at a discomfort I have about human relationship with animals. The discomfort is that we keep managing them despite calling them "wild". And I can see that part of the reason is this, that we're past the point of true wilderness and have to therefore preserve what's left in whatever interactive way.
I want to thank you and all the falconers of history for developing and sustaining this art and science. I watched from afar as a tiny population of California Condors was captured, bred, prepared, and released in Northern Arizona. I have seen them circling over the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and was inspired.
Good to see a video from you. :) I hope things are settling in with the new house and facilities. It sounded like a tremendous amount of work.
Dear Amy,
I love watching your videos and your love and caring for these birds is truly inspiring. I've been a bird-enthusiast for a long time now, I love reading about them, learning the difference btw the different songs of different birds etc. Would you ever consider making a video of more than one bird at a time, sort of comparing and contrasting the different birds of prey? I would really love that :) Hope you're well, thank you for the video!
Thanks for this information. The birds are so awesome to watch and understanding the responsibility to care for them properly so important.
I looked into falconry many years ago. It’s a lifestyle more than a hobby. It’s very involved, weighing your bird to know whether to feed and or fly. It’s a full time job. I respect you all. Plus these birds are trained not tame, every falconer has lost a bird.
Thanks for taking the time to share, Amy! Good luck to you!
In the 1970s and 80s I volunteered at a bird rescue that only dealt with bird of prey. What I did was tame, as best as a wild animal could be tamed, the ones that could never be released into the wild, and take them to schools, 4H, etc. And to exercise the birds that could be released when the time was right, and make sure they were in good health when that time came.
Greetings from the USA. What a wonderful topic for all your listeners on RUclips we only have one Earth everybody should do their part in taking care of it no matter what their ventures are.
Glad to see your videos are back Amy.
Good to see you looking hale and hearty. Keep flying!
Early! Whoop whoop! So happy to see you 💚❤️💜
Nice primer on some of the positive and relevant aspects of Falconry and it's contributions to a healthy Ecology and Conservation of Wildlife!🦅🦉🏞
From a Fellow Falconer in the USA.🇺🇸✌
Thanks for posting!👍
Cheers!👋
Thank you so much for this video,you taught me a lot and I will spread the word.And the footage of the birds was beautiful,especially the bird you had on your glove...gorgeous.
Great to see a new video from you. As always, well done & interesting. Cheer's!
Your Patience and Passion in explaining about the birds and falconry is impressive. Thanks for your work and effort.
Wonderfully presented and very informative.
Another amazing video. Your b-roll is breathtaking and shows the majesty of these birds. Thank you for doing the work you do.
Thank you for you and people like you. I grew up in California, United States of America and when I was young DDT poison was used in excess and caused nearly all raptor eggs to be too thin. We lost 90% of all our raptors. Through conservation and some very caring people we have saved the Bald Eagle, Golden Eagle, California Condors, Kites, assorted Hawks, Ospreys and Falcons. I just want to thank you and others like you that care enough to keep these birds and other animals from becoming extinct. I get excited everytime I see some of these birds. There were many years that you could drive 300 miles with out seeing any. Now I can open my front door and see or hear one of these wonderful creatures.
Brilliantly presented, spoken eloquently with a deep passion. Thank you.
Absolutely loved this! I am certain that a lot of people have the wrong ideas about falconry and falconers, and associate it with cruelty or keeping "pets"! This puts the record straight, and all filmed in an outside carsey!
Great video mate ! Your time as an educator is appreciated and more valuable than many will recognize. Best wishes as always.
...and dont forget, the birds are magnificently beautiful
Thank you for everything you do. Such an awesome educator.
Well done! Welcome back. Your so lucky to do what you love!
Love learning from ya so interesting thanks for the love you give to these beautiful birds..love Sophie x
Thank you for such a wonderful article Amy!
Thank you for sharing your amazing birds and taking the time to educate people like me who have never been exposed to falconry.
I love all your birds so much! Wondrous creatures
I could listen to your voice forever 🙏🙏🙏
Great detail on falconry! Thank you always for your videos and your love for animals!!!!! Many blessings to you and your family and your new little one on the way 💗💗💗
Nice to see you, Amy. You’re looking well. Excellent tutorial on falconry. Some beautiful bird footage. Best to you, your human and flying families, including Fable!
Thanks for this important info. You and baby look great .🧸💓
I found an injured kestrel two weeks ago. Not knowing anything about how to care for it, we called the wildlife station. They picked him up, and cared for him. Unfortunately, the injury was too severe and after 5 days, he passed. Learning how to take care of all sorts of animals found in distress is a big task. We are custodians on this planet, and most of us have forgotten that fact.
A delightful video as always. Thank you so much!!!
