When I was in high school I trained a Kestrel falcon. I'd fly her free everyday when I got home from school. I trained her to the lure and to return to me when I called. One day when she was out flying, a Red Shoulder hawk attacked her from behind. She never had a chance, but I saw her try to fight back... Nature won out in the end...

@@CaptmagiKono Truthfully I couldn't tell you why it calms them down. I just know from first hand that it does. My best guess is that Hawks, Eagles, and Falcons are strictly diurnal and when they have a hood on it tricks them into thinking it's night time. The reason it doesn't work on cats and dogs is they are up both during the day and night. This is one of the reasons you won't see a hood being put on an Owl. These are just my best guesses as I'm not a biologists and have no formal training in these areas.

@@CaptmagiKono Imagine trying to fly without being able to see where you're going. Birds that did that probably didn't live long enough to pass on their genes. Now it's a strongly reinforced trait to not fly or flap when it's dark. But they'll still adjust their footing and move a bit on the ground, walking is just more forgiving that way.

I don't get that. Falconry is one of the most highly regulated things you can do with an animal, and the hawks that they're trapping are young birds that are likely to die otherwise. Plus falconers often only fly a bird for a year or two, train them to hunt and then release them to breed in the wild... There's really no downside to the wild population. Of course, I also disapprove of selling hawks, so I'm a bit biased.
@reddragonair3147
4 жыл бұрын
@@lyreparadox Exactly. But I would point out that you're right to disapprove of selling hawks, as do I, because that takes away all the balance of the catch and release nature of falconry. If you're going about it the traditional way, where you catch a young bird, train and hunt it for a couple of years, and then release it when it's grown- you're actually drastically helping the wild population, as well as the individual bird, eliminating its most vulnerable stage of life and giving it protection, training, and the food that it earns. Buying a bird erases all of that, because you now have purchased a wild animal that you have no incentive or intent to release into the wild, and you aren't the one who collected it so you don't know its specific habitat and you lose a large chunk of the bond you could otherwise have. And when you bring money into the equation, people are no longer concerned so much about the bird's well-being, but now instead about their own profit. And the whole thing is just a nasty idea.
Please continue this as a series!! So freaking interesting
This was so educational, thanks for sharing! I've always been fascinated with falconry and especially the process for catching. Seems like falconers take a lot of pride in keeping the birds safe and not too stressed out.
Fantastic! I'd really like to see you take up falconry again. The sport could use an ambassador with the passion and dedication you've demonstrated in minkenry.
Really enjoy the Hawk content! Please make it into a playlist. I'd also appreciate the days you've had him when you show the clips.
This is an amazing addition to your channel I can't wait for more
Truly the sport of kings... this should be a very exciting series
It was originally through binging falconry videos that I found the minkery videos. It will be super interesting to see this process from Joseph's perspective.

@Joseph Carter the Mink Man, that talon on the inner front toe you refer to as "The kill claw" is something passed down to birds from their predatory dinosaur ancestors, specifically their closest cousins, the dromaeosaurs, or raptors. Velociraptor, Deinonychus, Utahraptor, Dakotaraptor... they evolved the killing claws on their feet for the exact same reason; to pin their prey down, stab it, and hold it in place while they tore it apart and ate it. The link between birds of prey and their dinosaur ancestors becomes very clear when you look at dromaeosaurs and hawks, falcons, and eagles. They share feathers (including big wing feathers, as proven with Velociraptor and Dakotaraptor as well as multiple genera from China), carnivorous habits, the same weaponry (other than teeth) and some were even capable of flight (mostly the smaller, tree-dwellers like Microraptor and Changyuraptor). Pretty cool, right?
Well done
Videos like this are the reason I want to become a falconer. Keeping the last of our dinosaurs around.

This is off topic for this video, but have you ever considered trying to raise otters for hunting muskrats and brown rats in the water? It's probably much harder to get your hands on one because they're protected in a lot of states they used to be common in, but I think that could really pay off if you could find a legal way to raise some otter pups. They're very intelligent and are very social animals, so I bet they could help in a lot of areas the mink struggle with regarding teamwork. It would kind of be like crossing your hunting dogs and mink into one animal.

And also wild dogs (shown in the video) actually on average kill quicker than lions. It looks a whole lot more brutal because they rip the internal organs out but often the death is brought on relitavely quickly. There are exceptions like when the dogs bring down big game like kudu or eland but the same can be said for lions and buffalo which can take up to 45 mins to an hour for the buff to expire.

It also depends on the number, the less wild dogs the longer it takes to dispatch the prey.
after a couple of years of hunting with this falcon will you release it? Many falconers who catch wild birds only keep them for a year or two before releasing them and catching a new bird.
