Falconry in Adair Village, Oregon with 2 Harris Hawks. Falconry or hawking is a sport which involves the use of trained raptors (birds of prey) to hunt or pursue game for humans. Historically, falconry was a popular sport and status symbol among the nobles of medieval Europe and feudal Japan. While most raptors are solitary, only coming together for breeding and migration, Harris's Hawks will hunt in cooperative groups of two to six. austringer red- tailed hawking hawker falconer golden eagles owls north american falconers association nafa peregrine falcon prairie goshawk sparrowhawk

  • damn..That lady can kick my arse...LOL

  • falconersapprentice is right. watch (the boys sterner hybrids hit harder) two peregrines work as a team

  • Hey, nice vid! Harris are fun to hunt with. However redtails CAN cast hunt. It is all a matter of how well they know each other. I know of some redtail cast. The only thing is you gotta be quick when one makes a kill. Making in is a trick with two hungry redtails. So the girl in the vid is technically wrong :)

  • @2wickedtwins It is generally unwise to buy a raptor for falconry, because they will be young and you will have to personally teach them to hunt. Usually a falconer will catch their own bird while it is a juvenile, able to take care of itself but not an adult. There are some raptor breeders and some people do buy birds, but my guess is these Harris hawks were caught wild.

  • were did you buy your bird?
