Hello! First of all thanks for your vids. They are really awesome and very helpful. Keep doing the great job. Ihave a question.. I'm training a Kestrel... he is already flying free to the fist but sometimes, the kestrel takes the food from my fist and he flies to a nearby tree. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

would you let a apprintice start with a Kestrel or you think there more for falconers that have more time with hawks

Another excellent video,also took your advice from you website and ordered a Forest Hawk transport box, Jim does an excellent job on these hand made boxes.

If you dont like the meat side down put weight on the other side...in my experience when they figure out there is meat on the lure ..they will flip it just like they do prey items to get to the pinch point,my current lure has the center hole and a meat clip ..but most of mine have been with the meat attached to one side or other..I make mine the size and shape of a stooping sparrow..works pretty good., yes it does cement the bond and they will get to the point of looking for ya once on the lure
Awesome. i have a question though...I have issues with the lure landing meat side down. The lure i use has a hole in the center so no matter what side the lure lands, the bird can access the meat...or do you find that you making in quickly and flipping the lure over for the bird helps to cement the "I'm here to help" aspect of hunting?

The Kestrel will learn the food is always on the lure and should start looking for it and flipping the lure over by itself. As long as the meat side isn't in a bunch of gravel and dirt it should be fine. I do make in once the bird finds the meat and starts to break into it.
