  • Now pull your head out of your ass and learn to appreciate these birds for what they truely are, hunters. Because they are what they are. And remember this you cave dummy, these birds are free to go everytime they leave our fist, yet they come back.. I wonder why that is you moron. I bet you have a dog laying right next to ya, don't ya. A beautiful dog, kept by a fat, drunk, idiot..

    You like apples??

    How you like them apples, Cave Dummy!!!

  • If it wasn't for us hooting and hollering Morons, that bird wouldn't even exist you idiot. It's a hybrid, born and raised in captivity, unlike you who was born and raised in a cave.. We will call you CD for short.. Cave dummy, hahahaha!!

  • i owned a harris befored and another prey bird i can't remember the name in english. Type in "cetreria" which is falconery in spanish i think there are other good videos. do you need a licence or permit in the US to own one?

  • Yes, in the USA you need a state permit for the state your in as well as a federal Raptor permit.

  • thats kool I need my peregrin like that some help me find a trainer please let me know asap thank

  • I'm not sure what your asking but training a falcon is a fairly easy task and there are different methods that all work well. The most important is to fly the bird every day, enter it on the game of your choice and get it killing, then fly fly fly. The bird will gain altitude as a necessity to chase fast game. My friend is training his falcons with a balloon and three of them have a pitch of over 2500 feet with just three weeks of training. I'll video a bit of it and post it. Good Luck

  • @rphister1 Great video, lovely to watch these birds hunt, pay no mind to the MORONs who post their ignorant rantings for if it was left to them, we would have nothing!

  • @prjibaro1 Sorry, I should have looked a bit closer (hybrid) before I asked.

  • where is it? 

  • To paulfbest - if the falcon was left to the wild it would kill far more prey than in the controlling hands of the falconer. A point worth remembering with this particular form of hunting... Alas there will always be those who cannot accept that predators exist in nature and are an essential part of it.  And that includes man.

  • Falconry=very cool! I looked into it once, but you have to be VERY dedicated to the birds and apprentice for a while before you can get a license. Thanks for sharing the video!

  • i agree with the poster that feels this sort of *fun* shows how low mankind can go..just leave the falcons to the wild nature,,,human manipulation is evil and is sin.

    man always has to intrude on nature,,ALWAYS...now the planet is dying quickly.

  • So which is it, a gyrfalcon or a peregrine?

  • I'm sure they did eat the duck, but really, does the duck know if its being hunted for sport or to be eaten, so its a kind of futile comment to make

  • Please tell me you actually ate this duck and don't simply kill for "sport"?
