Had to break your heart. I'm a falconer also. Have been for the past 50 years. Even though, you never get used to losing a bird. That was a really nice looking Gyr. Where do you live? Obviously it's cold enough for a Greenland Gyr. Did you get it from a breeder? Also, do you still fly? Hope so. Once falconry is in your blood, your hooked. Believe me, I know.
I almost started to cry bro. I feel for you i bonded well with my bird and yes i beleive it is true that when you lose your bird or if it dies then you loose a part of your sole and heart. Falconry is my passion and lifr i live and breath it. I am sorry for your loss. Butterman
Very moving video. I too work with raptors and know how it is to become attached to them. Although they are not pets, do not give people the love and attention that a dog does one bonds with the bird....it understands you and respects you as the person who cares, feeds and allows it to fly free. Its a trust that both man and bird have, we feed and care for them and we trust them to come back to the first after their flight. Very good film and I am so sorry about the loss of your bird.
While my dad was training it without a leash or anything, it caught a wind current in the air and flew away. My dad followed it's direction into the woods and he found it dead at the bottom of a tree. Falcon's aren't birds that fly in woods, they need wide open spaces to move around. When it flew into the forest, it probably lost control and hit a tree and died.
