but if you teach him anti carrying and then if later on you are going release it to nature, how will he carry his prey away from a larger raptor?? I'm just questioning this, not looking for a dispute...

This bird is an imprint and wouldn't be intentionally released into the wild, but if it did happen it wouldn't take very long for the bird to revert back to it's wild state

[Nakka92]

ooh, so you got him as a chick??

[Fletcherknob]

yes 19 days old captive bred chick.

what keeps it from flying off,and if its jessed wont it sprain its foot tryin to fly.

thanks

[Fletcherknob]

You keep the leash short that the bird doesn't get enough momentum in it's bates. Also using a antishock leash which has a elasticated section to act as a buffer can help.

@Fletcherknob sparrs turn wild with in a cuple days of non contact impring or pr reard

[ilikerunninginsanely]

@Fletcherknob actually i do not agree with you, one of the most vicious one the american bold eagle which is the most unfamiliar with the humans in this example challenger the famous american bold eagle cannot be released to the nature now because he grew accustomed to the humans, and thinks hes a human now. but whatever its probably tamed now since the video is 3 y. old.

Harry McElroy wrote a book on Coopers in the 70's called Desert hawking and it went through anti aggresion training along these same lines. Works pretty good too. Although I had an imprinted Gos that hated when I took to much time showing it game. Got my ear pierced that day. ; )

I'm really impressed watching your videos.We here in the US have Sharpies, Coopers and Gos, as I'm sure you know. Imprints possess the possibility of being agressive with "face flying", etc.Have you experienced any of that or are Euro Sparrowhawks a "Calmer" species of acciipiter?I watched a Vid on UTube entitled Kobac,Sparrowhawk,sperber by AustringerKg.He only flys passagers 1 season and releases them. His birds are totally "tame too". What do you think? What method do you use?

great to see someone using their brains to train a BOP and not just 'weight training'

[foxy358]

i dont do this at all, i find that if i exchange the kill for a fair piece of meat in a calm & relaxed manner in my experience birds then wont carry anyway

funny I tried that with my RT and it didn't work out that well. Not that she caried I just got footed a lot.
