Re: My birds of prey

Ive always wanted to see a falconry show but never know where they are and since i work on a saturday its also quite hard as this would, in m opinion, be when they are.

How do you teach them? ive always been stumped by this as when let off id have thought theyd have flown off thinking 'haha i got out of that one'

at the centre i work at, we do displays twice a day, every day, wether permiting. there will likely be a bird of prey centre near you.

they are trained in a number of different ways, but the main thing is weighing them everyday and maintaning them at a budy weight where they are fit and healthy but have an appatite and there for an incentive to work for us. each bird is fed at a specific time so they are hungry at the same time each day. in the wild, so long as they dont have young to feed, will only eat every couple of days if well fed, large birds will infact sometimes go upto a week inbetween meals. we give them the same amount of food they would eat in one sitting, but streach it out over a longer time period so they will be keen to work for us

Ill have to look out for a centre near me, if not i think the nearest is leeds armouries.

As for the birds them selves it sounds like trainng them would be fun, the problem with me is that being a vegatarian im a bit conscious about touching meat, it makes me physically sick sometimes, but i dont mind others eating it, especially animals, so i wouldnt really be able to feed them .
