[QUOTE="Michael Beran, post: 790103, member: 8479"] So all 300 birds will descend upon Woodward during that week? [COLOR="DarkGreen"]Yes, between 300-600 birds are brought, the Falcons spread out searching for duck tanks but the eagles and hawks tend to over lap.[/COLOR] Do you have much upkeep cost and how big of space/ how much care is needed? [COLOR="DarkGreen"]No, they feed themselves, 10'x10'x10', they need more attention than care mostly[/COLOR] Also, you said a falconer's first bird is a redtail. Is there a rule about that or is that just pretty standard or are you assuming that is the case since they are the most common in these parts or......? [COLOR="DarkGreen"]I force my apprentices to capture a Redtail but the regs say Redtail, Redshoulder or American Kestel[/COLOR] What sort of process is involved in obtaining and training a hawk? [COLOR="DarkGreen"]To sum it up it is positive reinforcement, you learn to operate within the hawk natural instincts and talents[/COLOR] How do you capture one, [COLOR="DarkGreen"]I use a special trap I make called a Bal-chi[/COLOR] how do you acclimate it to humans, [COLOR="DarkGreen"]You over stimutlate it by keeping it on your fist until it gets over its fear of you, normally one week[/COLOR] and how do you make get it to where it knows it will catch more food with you before he up and flies away? [COLOR="DarkGreen"]The very first time you turn it lose if it comes back it is your hnting buddy to hunt with as long as you perform, if you ever stop flushing game for it ......well why would it hang around?[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
