Flying out of the hood

[Dude]

Hello folks,

I just wanna get some advices how to train my female pere to fly out of hood(from glove to quarry).

She just 14days old.....what means a fresh, crispy birdie.... :)

Thanks,
Dan.

Simply show her quarry in front of her and let her go, increasing the distance each time.

[Dude]

At first I try to take jesses on a quail or partridge and take a weight on it, and I fly the falcon to it, or directly to wild game? I must leave the hood on the bird with opened braces, or I can simply use her as a gos...? I wanna do lure training to get her some mucsles before I hunt, but I like to hunt with her soon as possible coz vocal peres are very bad in the city... :(

Thx 4 the advice hawkmaster,
Dan.

[Dude]

I mean....can I hunt like with a gos? Carriing without the hood or I must use her with an opened braced hood and just get it off when I see something....?

[Hawkmaster]

I keep the hood on, find the quarry and then strike the braces and then hold the falcon up to go at its own pace and time. But you can try it different ways as birds are different too and you will need to see what suits it?

Dude, it is always better to have your aims and plans or methods of how to achive these before purchasing / obtaining your hawk or falcon. It too late once your bought the falcon to begin to start your plans.

What are you going to fly at with this imprint female peregrine ?

Also get ready for the noise.

Dude this is right what Outflying has wrote.

As my comments didn't have the have the nice words or politeness to write this. I didnt post post as i would have been rude but i am glad someone did!

[Dude]

I planned before, just wanna ask others about it, I fly a tiercel and a lanner and a kestrel before and I fly since 8years just I dont probe this style.....I fly many passage goses and other birdies. I think I can hold this in my hands. The nother thing is that here I dont know anybody who fly out of the hood and I just talk about it with some old more experienced falconers. Hmmm the noise, yupp I know it will be vocal but if she kill and kill and kill it will moderate more than I just lure training her....I think like my tiercel do before, but I fly him in waiting on style.

anyway thx 4 the info and 4 the critics I will keep them in mind!

best regards,
Dan.

what are you going to hunt off the fist with the peregrine ?

[Dude]

I am wondering I will try on magpies, crows, jays, coz I have a lot of them here and also rooks in the wintertime.

[RabbitHawker]

Magpies and Jays will be very hard with a single peregrine, people have flown a cast of tiercels at them, but unless it's very open country it's hard to get them any distance from cover. Crows will be good quarry, I'd try to get some daed ones and feed your bird on them, then it should have the right picture of food in it's mind.

[Varmint]

Tame hack will either make or break your imprint, try to select an area where there will be lots of resident black stuff to play with?

I agree with Rabbithawker you are not likely to get them in open country.

Can't you stick to crows, rooks or seagulls? Personally I think it is a shame and a waste to fly a Peregrine in pursuit, I love to see them as gamehawks.

[Dude]

I will let her go on anything if she want to. I want to tame hack her too, I have an area where I can hack her and there is many magpies to play with :)

rabbithawker: some friends of mine fly their peregrines to magpies in open areas, but I have some cover to stealth walk close to the magpies. I just donno how much distance will she needed to reach the magpies...I hope a some hundred meters will be enough.

hawkmaster: I like to fly her to rooks etc. coz here anybody fly their falcons and hawks at pheasants and hares and thats all. I havent got many pheasants here, but I have these corvidae. I take some with goses and wanna try with a pere. Here in my country the traditional way was to fly sakers and peregrines out of the hood to herons and other big birds and also to corvidae.

rgds,
Dan.

[Hawkmaster]

Dan what do you think the benefits will be to tame hack her?

[Dude]

Better skills at flying, give muscle and maybe increase the noise of her....
