Well done, you raised a beautiful, capable hawk. Your hard work paid off.

The look on Giselle's face when she discovers the Cooper's chick in her nest is priceless!! Thanks for sharing!! :D

8:20 That jackrabbit is huge. I was afraid Giselle would get hurt during the fight but you rushed to her aid. And then I noticed how she jumped right back on him when she saw the opening to put talons to its eyes. I'm certain that wasn't your training- The hunting instinct in certain species incredible. Fantastic video and thanks for sharing. Stay Safe & Stay Strong Giselle. Warmly, Boston

From someone who has been flying and hunting falcons for nearly 30 years .you have a real nice imprint gos it’s good to see a hi standard of falconry.

I like how mother's pupils suddenly became widely-open when she heard a strange sound. Mother's protective instinct!

Man that first jackrabbit catch, that's what I call cooperation!

Her first moments of OMG I'm a mommy are so awesome!

@@BestOfAnimalss Actually, it's very good. It's not only an extremely natural form of hunting, but it also keeps herbivore populations in check. If herbivore populations grow too large, it can cause a severe lack of vegetation (because they're eating it all) which in turn, begins to kill them at a much faster rate than hunting does. In other words, too many prey animals will eat too much vegetation which causes them ALL to starve, which then, in turn, will also cause predators to starve. The entire environment will suffer. Plants die, prey animals die, and predators die. All because there was too much of one kind of animal. Legal hunting keeps track of local animal populations. It keeps track of how many animals should be culled in order to keep the environment in balance. They give a certain amount of tags out to hunters, telling them exactly how many of a certain kind of animal that they are legally allowed to hunt. This not only keeps the environment healthy, but also feeds human families. It's not just "for fun". These people are eating these animals. Falconers in particular probably also use the hunted game to further feed and train their birds. Sure, it's "fun" to hunt, but a lot of hunters will gladly explain that what they enjoy about hunting is how natural it feels, and how much they like being a part of the "circle of life" while simultaneously helping the environment. Being a law abiding hunter is extremely eco-friendly, whether you like it or not. That's just a fact. Falconers are a completely ethical and natural way of hunting game. There's literally nothing wrong with it, unless they're poaching with their falcons. Which is highly unlikely. Get off you high horse and let these people have a good time.

Wonderful! I’m a hunter, for 60+ yrs now, and have admired Falconry from afar since a boy. Thank you for stirring those feelings again! What a gorgeous bird!

Absolutely incredible how she has the instinct to protect and nurture the baby.

Phantastic! I really like to see what a wonderful relationship you have to your Goshawk.Thank you very much for sharing.Ron

Wow, what a privilege. Thank you for showing me. I'm an aspiring falconer. Yours is a fine example to follow.

She was being so sweet with the baby. Awesome clip

Wow what instinct she has, a very beautiful bird and a very caring committed person teaching her falconry from a baby, well done love your work mate, awesome fantastic video brother.

That's what I call a complete video on raising, hunting and breeding a goshawk. OSH :-)

Baby Giselle with her crop absolutely stuffed was hilarious. You'd think she'd just zone out and nap, but no, she wants to explore.

Dude!! This is without question the best documentary I've seen in years!! Kudos to you!! Beautiful documentary!! ...cant wait to watch the next one!!

Wow. It took more than three years to produce this 15:13 minutes video. Great job!

duuuuuuude..!!! this blows my mind ... been researching about falconry I THINK im in..!! thanks for sharing...

Thank you for sharing this chronicle. I know there are so many unspoken things that go into the effort, but it shows a novice like myself the basic pattern, if my passions and pursuits were aimed toward falconry, that I would have a template to build on. Not only that, it is just so educational and amazing to see you interacting with this animal. Again, thank you.

such a great video - the moment she saw her "baby" was beautiful to watch. pure mother's instinct with the baby's innocence

What tremendous dedication ! That is one beautiful bird

Amazing journey. Thanks for sharing this.

From an old falconer, great job. Jack surprise!

In my youth (decades ago, lots of em) I fooled around catching/training everything from sparrow hawks (kestrels), red tails, coopers, peregrines, a prairie falcon, a gos, a harrier and a rough legged, no eagles tho, as they were too mentally unstable in my experience to be safe to handle. I had a friend that had one which took a detour when returning to fist, going over the fence and attacking a nearby child (fortunately it was winter in Colorado and the kid was fully bundled up and we got there soon enough to pull my friends bird off of him before any major damage occurred, scary as hell incident tho..I observed over the years, several incidents of 'accipiter' like 'rage' when the odd gos, coopers, or sharp shinned would temporally seem to 'lose their minds and lash out at pretty much anything/anyone nearbye. Not such a big thing, but I saw several eagles exhibit the same behavior, and with their available weapons, I had no wish to fool with em. I once even wrote a letter to the Mutual of Omaha fellow whom I heard was trying to acquire a Marshall's eagle, cautioning a 're-think' of that idea for just that reason. If my memory serves, he was later quite seriously injured. I then got the urge to try an owl. Spent some time observing some barn and screech owls, and then, after I discovered the secrets to obtaining and training a Great Horned Owl (on my first attempt I was knocked out of the tree) I finally managed to get one whom I named 'Goliath'. I knew Dr. Stabler, and had met Frank Beebe but neither could tell me anything about training owls (which I discovered were a whole different kettle of fish. For instance a std welder's glove, was useless as protection against those needle sharp and incredibly powerful talons - Goliath , large even for a Great horned owl, could 'squash' the skull of a large western jackrabbit like you might pop a grape, and I discovered to my dismay, could quite easily drive her talons thru the glove and quite deeply into your wrist to boot when excited. She ended up far and away the greatest natural avian predator I'd ever encountered. When she reached maturity, we hunted pretty much everything up to and including the size of snow geese, without difficulty. We spent several seasons together around (the mountains of Colorado) and I eventually released her back to the wild when a very persistent, and dramatically smaller male, started visiting her regularly at her night time perch on the chimney of the house. The "hooting" back and forth was soon the talk of the neighborhood- that and the marked decrease in the local cat population ( they would sneak up on the roof to get a " piece' of that big 'chicken' sitting up there in the dark, literally the last mistake they ever made) convinced me to let her leave with her new suitor to carry on the most powerful and majestic race of raptor that I ever had. My whole experience with her was by far the most deeply satisfying and left me with such a wonderful sense of accomplishment, discovery and contentment, that I never again sought to acquire another bird of prey, I have, however, in my now 'golden' years , raised a rather rambunctious, incredibly intelligent (and quite raucous,) large Macaw I call "Rambo" :) who became quite the escape artist (and home decor destroyer) before I had a special steel enclosure built for him. Though quite dangerous in his own right (his 'teen' rebellious years required extreme caution- you think an eagle can bite-.Rambo is quite capable of instantly removing and disassembling parts of your anatomy while angry, yet still being gentle enough in his more domestic moments, to preen your hair. He is essentially a one man bird, and even now that he has mellowed a bit (he's in his 20's) it took some considerable effort, to introduce and acclimate him to my son, whom I have arranged to 'take' him in after my passing (Rambo is likely going to long outlive me :) All in all my associations with these majestic descendants of dinosaurs we call birds, have dramatically enhanced my understanding, and contributed mightily, to my enjoyment of this journey we call 'life'.

@@elujaent8255 - first thing you need to do is find local falconry enthusiasts in your area, contact them, spend some time around them and decide if you have the temperament, the time, the facilities, the resources and the self discipline and motivation to follow thru as birds of prey are NOT pets and require substantial time , effort, and determination to handle properly. I know literally nothing about you, so its impossible to advise otherwise than to physically locate and contact an experienced handler. In the meantime, I suggest that you read anything you can find on the subject and make absolutely sure that this is something you want to do.. If you are young, I caution you that you will be exposed to "nature" as being "red in tooth and claw": some find this reality difficult to deal with, especially members of the 'bambi' persuasion.

Absolutely amazing. Beautiful birds.

Nice video man!!! Keep up the great falconry.

Too add to my previous comment about your excellent work,as a falconer. I hacked my hen coopers back to the wild,when she became an adult. Coopers hawk numbers, were nowhere near what they are today. She would still come to the call and fist,3 months after I released her to breed in the wild. You have done amazing work with the accipiters, More often than not,some high strung birds by nature. My lab was always good friends with all my birds.

Amazing! Nice work! 👍
