 Okay guys, you are going to love where we are today. You're going to be obsessed. You've seen it before and I know you're dying to see it again. Prepare yourself. We are at Falconry Carry, which means this is going to be an amazing video. You're going to see things you have never seen before and they have so many new birds. So let's get on this adventure. You can, they won't spit at you. Lama spit at you. Alpacas usually don't. They're looking for some food. Do you want to feed them? Yeah. You're not hungry? Okay, you are. He's soft on his chest. What do you have there? So this is Erika. Erika is 11 years old. So she's a female Harris hawk. Wow, she's beautiful. How long do they live? Harris hawks, well in the wild, they might live 12 to 15 years, but in captivity, they'll often live up to 25, 30 years, sometimes even more. And the reason for that is in the wild, they have a slightly tougher lifestyle. They have to be fighting fit every day. And if they get sick, then there's nobody going to look after them, you know. So they're here with us. They don't have to fight for their food and there's nothing going to try and eat them. So they live a little longer. Wow. So that'll get you some gloves, if you want to want to try it out. Absolutely. This is her meal time, so we're taking her out to feed her. They have falcons, hawks, birds, brain genders are quite, I'm not going to say they're lazy, but they like to conserve their energy. And that is because they eat 100% meat diet. They don't eat carbohydrates, you know, no seeds, not anything like that. So they need to save their energy for when they really need it. So after we have flown Erica here, she pretty much wants to be left alone and to relax for the rest of the day. For these birds once or twice a day normally. What is that she's eating? This is some chicken. This is probably the least gruesome of the foods that she likes to eat. She also likes to eat mice, rats, guinea pigs, quail, any kind of small animal. We try and give them a varied diet to kind of replicate what they eat in the wild. How did you find out she likes guinea pigs? Well, we took a survey, but no harm. So they guinea pigs, yeah, I suppose it's the same kind of food that a lot of people that might keep snakes would feed them. And it's just good to vary the diet. And also guinea pigs are native to South America, which is where the Harris hawk originates from. Okay, that looks like a chicken foot. It is. Great. Hold on, here we go. Look how beautiful you really are. Guys, how amazing is this? You don't think you could be a vegetarian? No? Do you feel like they connect with you? Definitely. I mean, if you do some research on forums and online, you know, things like that, that tell you that birds of prey never really form a close bond with their falconer, not like a dog. And I'll just give her another here. Keep her busy. But I think that that's debatable and it's individual, depends on the bird. Some of them form a closer bond than others. Have you ever been able to like pet? Yeah, some of them. Like you can, if you want to, you can try and touch her feet. She won't, the worst she would do is fly away. She's not going to hurt you or anything. Okay. Come on, Erica. I'm going to touch your food. See. I want to kiss you. You can't kiss the hawk, George. Beautiful landing. George, don't touch the, George's. He could have stayed on me longer. Are you a star? What if we walk? Would you walk with me? Oh, yeah. We go for a walk. So, what are they? This is Cookie. Cookie is an African spotted owl. So this is Cookie. She's one of our oldest birds. She comes in at 16 years old. She is the grand dame of the falconry here. And then her kind, they're quite happy on the ground as well. They will nest on the ground. She's got an adorable little run. Cookie, can you come on over to the people? Yeah, man. There you go. So she sounds a bit like, and looks a little bit like grumpy cat. But that's just her feed me voice. And it sounds like she's been on a diet of bourbon and cigars for most of her life. Hey, Cookie. Cookie, do you have a sound? Yeah. So the whole idea behind these little horns is actually to make her look like a cat. I was just going to say she looks like my cat. Yeah. So if you can imagine if you're a predator and you're walking up and you see her on the ground, you might mistake her for a cat. So I just, you'll stop and go, huh? And that's just enough time for her to fly off to safety. What does she weigh? One pound, eight and a half ounces. So we weigh the birds every day, every morning, so that we can see just how much to fly them. Because obviously you don't want to overfeed them. Right. All gone? Whoop. Hey. Yeah, bags all gone. All right, okay. Yeah, yeah. That is so cool. Oh, yeah. Oh my. Did you have an eagle over there? Yeah, we have an eagle as well called Ken. But he's not going to fly today because he ate too much yesterday. He's just going to sleep for the day. This is Leah. This is actually a little bit nervous about packets. She doesn't like them. Yeah, but she's a great, great owl. And she is almost five years old. Got her when she was six weeks old. She came from Scotland. These are the tallest species of owl in the world. But they are the longest, but they're just all feathers. See that? Wow. They've got a really, really dense coat of feathers. Hi. Hi. Oh my God. Look at you. Oh, are you TV or do you just stick the TV safe? Oh, wow. Wow. Do you need anything? Like a pijama, isn't it? Yeah. Wow. That's fucking good. Ha ha. Here. You can hear her talking to me there. Do you hear the little chirping sounds? Yeah. She does seem connected to you, I can tell. All right, Willow. You want to sit in the perch? Hey, Willow. You're putting her to sleep now. She's probably not going to fly. Yeah. Tell him. You've had enough. I don't think she has, though. No. She's loving that. She's like a parrot. She's like a cockatoo. Yo, you want to take her home? Hey, Willow. You will fit in with the rest. Is there anything you want everyone to know? I love birds. That's my thing. I always say, I love birds. Yeah. What got you into birds? I don't know. I was always interested in every kind of animal, but birds in particular. And I'm just so happy that I get to do this every day. You know, it's an amazing thing to do. I wouldn't call it a job because I don't think it's a job. I think it's a way to live your life. And I love it. How did you get your first bird? My first bird was a pigeon that I found when I was about seven years old that had broken his wing. And I took him home, took him to the vet the following day and the vet fixed up its wing and released it eventually. But that was the first close experience I think I ever had with a bird. I was probably eight or nine years old. And after that, I think we had a cockatiel. I'd say I'd say I was maybe 15 or 16. But it was it was a bird that had come from another home. Probably it was quite old when we got it. Not very, very friendly. What was your first bird of prey? First bird of prey was a snowy owl actually. Snowy owl called Pearl. Guys, so we've come to the end of the tour and my dream has happened. I'm cuddling an owl like a parrot. I don't know if you've been paying attention, but this bird's not food driven because this bird has been obviously loves food, but this bird has grown up kind of living with Liam. So once this bird realized it was able to get head scratches, it was like, I'm not leaving. And neither am I. This is unbelievable. Birds stepped up like a parrot. You guys got to come out to falconry, carry. I will put all the info in the description. You are, you're going to live your dream. Just come tell Liam that you're a sniffer. Oh my God, look at this. Step up, step up. This is an amazing bird. Oh, she's lovely. Okay, we got to go, George. They're going to have to kick us out. You got to give the bird back, George. You got to give the bird back, George. She got to go. He's got another tour. He's very busy. Go on below. Right, so where are you headed for next? We're going to...
