I’m aviation pilot 👨‍✈️ from Kuwait child of my family since 6 years he should know about 1 falcons 2 calms 3 horses 4 hunting of course a lot of Arabian families same my family I’m happy for this amazing video thanks a lot

Fantastic atmosphere in this video! The music, the narrator, the shots, the land cruisers and the falcons doing what they do best 👍

Awesome, I didn’t know Arabians had so many falcons, Fascinating!

the Arab falconers are SO good with their birds...its a pleasure to see ...

this documentary had done in the north of saudi arabia, 2 of falconers was died “god bless them” but still this vedio useful as huge falconry reference, great job, thank you for sharing us. ((guys where is thumbs up for such vedio ?! i heard it’s free on youtube 😉))

As a Arab falconer I assure every one this is the most accurate docmentry about Arabian falconry

This is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. Very informative about Falconry!

Andy, you've done a great job here. I'm a licensed falconer of 20 years and am amazed at the new insights you have portrayed in this video. Well done!

What a great video! Thank you for this extraordinary work!

I am amazed that you managed to get in the camp and interact with the falconers!! I don't know many students that have the resources or the courage to get such thing done. Great work!! very informative!! Thank you very much for sharing.

Thank you for the kind words Mohammed. Having been raised in the middle east, learned to speak arabic at 5 years old, it took a lot of courage and respect of the culture. I had not been back to the kingdom for many years, so it took a while for the language to come back when I returned after University. It was an amazing experience I will treasure for the rest of my life.

Thank you. Falcons- a real symbol of power. "I am the guiding Light that illumineth the way. I am the royal Falcon on the arm of the Almighty. I unfold the drooping wings of every broken bird and start it on its flight." ~ Baha'u'llah

Excellent documentary. Thank you.

Very fascinating. I was fortunate to witness a falconer during my trip to Kuwait in 2012. I did not imagine so much went into the sport. Thanks for posting!

Beautiful video Andy.Shukran !

One of the BEST falconry videos I ever saw! Thanks allot for your work!

Yeah... much better than the ones where they shoot the falcon for not hunting well...I so wish the to Shieks who died (the one into falconry and keeping the Houbara on the planet... and bag limits uner 200 A DAY) and the sheik who is responsible for the Spix Macaw being alive... now those are MEN

Really enjoyed the video. Thanks

Great job ... The documentary is full of detailed information which many falconers keep to them selfs ..

Beautiful people beautiful culture.

Judging from the cars and the way the dress, it was filmed in the mid 80's.... Beautiful film and music.

Cool! Falcons are really magnificent birds...

Video on Falcons exceptionally good. We got insight in the sport of falcony.

What an amazing, detailed and put together documentary from the start to the end. Brilliant job Andy Edwards.

Shukran Ya Andy, for sharing this very interesting doc. I liked seeing how they took so much care to splice and mend the broken feathers.

What an amazing documentary!! Hats off to you sir

Thanks, VaheGuru Ji!

I would imagine that a Saker/Peregrine hybrid could potentially be an extremely versatile hunter... having both the instincts of ground and aerial hunting running through it.

This documentary was very well put together. The narration, content and explaniations is wonderful and professionally done. (The narrator has a very nice, commanding voice) That said, I hate seeing these birds (any bird really) captured. They are too magnificent a creature to have it held in captivity. They should be free to fly and hunt for themselves. Again, great job on the informative documentary! Have you done more?

what so many people do not understand about falconry .......is the beneficial relationship falconers have with the birds....they are not "held in captivity" as a caged bird in a zoo is, you see no cages here.....the birds ARE free to fly away if they want to.....and ....sometimes they do....

Nice documentary. Thank you for sharing. Sakers are preferred by the Arabian falconers because they are done moulting by the begining of the hunting season. Northern migrant peregrines from the Arctic will not be done moulting before december. Therefore the juveniles (farkh) are preferred to the hagards peregrines (garnas). Hagard peregrines have little value in traditionnal arab falconry. Their character is also very unstable as they have been migranting already. The hagard in the video is probably a juvenile caught bird and moulted in captivity.

timeless

This is a great video!

Andy Edwards what was the budget for this ?

35:15 Best chase ever! Rabbit outsmart 3 hunting dogs. Got me cheering for the rabbit from start to end. Glad to see it escaped. 35:00 Falcons lined up in the truck like a clan of assassins. And they are truly assassins.

Ummmm you are missing the point, those dogs are not like greyhounds. Sure they are fast but they also have better stamina so they also tire down the prey

interesting how they go in before that bustard bird or whatever is dead to give to the younger no experienced birds I get that , but how many times do falcons get wounded if you don't break this up or get there in time just curious with a larger type bird like this bird is 2x the weight ? reminds me of game dogs catch dogs holdem til you get there and get there ASAP before the dogs get wounded same style imo ? or the falcon would totally dominate it 95% of the time with minor injury ? just curious

love it thanks for sharing

Hi Leo, Thanks for the comment. After Effects just released a new version that allows detail preserving upscale. It allows upscaling all the way to 4K. When I get some free time, I'm going to run some tests with this documentary and see how it looks. I'll repost the video in the higher frame size if it enhances it enough.

Many can't see this side of arabia because their too focused on the wars. Yet out cultures and traditions run deeper in our blood that's why we don't want anyone harming one inch of a peaceful place like that. In the desert many strong man have came to us and in this same desert many beautiful women were alive. God bless the land of Musliams where ever they are. Amen
