Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

In this video I am going to show how i trained a peregrine falcon. Shes spent a few months moulting so in this video i show the process i went through to reclaim her, train her, and start flying her free to the lure.

    Here look I was learning from you I don't mean anything by it I'm just confused as I have read books and own a male right now he is brown about 6month old so I was actually watching your video to learn from and when I saw that blue grey but I also saw another on your video just confused because at first I thought I a female because it was brown so I called it star ,when reported back the man I got it from he pulled me and said you mean the male? 55years at he said he has done females are bigger but brown males are smaller and turn blue grey and bright yellow beek mating season that's how you tell the female from the males on the peregine falcon. Also Ben woodruff I follow on KZread he says the same.

    There is no difference in colour and pattern between males and females in Peregrines, both male and female start off brown with blue feet and face, this is why we call the juveniles ‘brown birds’, and both male and female turn silvery grey with a pale chest and yellow feet and face once sexually mature.

    I'm not sure that they do migrate, the ones where I live in the southwest of England seem to be around all year though they might go from the moors to the coast in winter (or summer, can't remember which way around lol)
