THE ART OF FALCONRY. Monday, August 4, 2008. Scirocco is now 65 days old and has been responding well to flight conditioning and manning. He is strongly imprinted on me.

THE ART OF FALCONRY. Friday, July 25, 2008. Chapal has continued to grow in his contour and flight feathers. But there is a ways to go yet. Particularly the primaries, secondaries and rectries. He has become increasingly active as his co-ordination and agility have been developing to make use of those new feathers. He is very brave or reckless in his aproach to his "ledge" which is about 4' above the floor. He bails out regularly and as a result often is found in secluded areas of the house.

Raptorman's Falconry Blog: July 2008
http://askraptorman.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
THE ART OF FALCONRY. Wednesday, July 30, 2008. Just thought I would post an update on Chapal's daily weighing. To have a far better understanding of the condition of a falconry bird daily weight is taken and a record kept for future reference. Today Chapal weighs 659 grams, including bells and jesses. A triple-beam scale is used which is accurate to 1/2 gram. Because of a tiercel's size accurate and small incremented measurement units are more valuable than ounces and pounds.

THE ART OF FALCONRY. Monday, August 4, 2008. Chapal has all but lost all his down. There only remains the few feathers left on his head. He is regularly perched on the lawn now to benifit from the sun and rain. He has been misted to help him cool off in the heat. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

THE ART OF FALCONRY. Sunday, July 20, 2008. The second mew has been framed in and will soon be complete. It will be modified to house Chapal the tiercel Peregrine. By placing a secure external door on this end of the hallway a secure second enclosure will have been created to "catch" any escapees while the mew is being entered. The meeting of the two roof lines will secure the upper portion of the hallway making a suitable place for much of the falconry equipment and. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://askraptorman.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
THE ART OF FALCONRY. Thursday, June 26, 2008. These photos show the layout of the front and rear walls placed on treated timbers. These two mews are located on a raised bench to the rear of my property, offering the birds a lofty view. And some security from the public. Well as you can see Scirroco is really developing his flight and contour feathers. He now weights 13.5 oz. Monday, June 23, 2008. The contour and flight feathers grow within a drinking straw like protective sheath of keratin. As the f...

Raptorman's Falconry Blog: April 2008
http://askraptorman.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
THE ART OF FALCONRY. Saturday, April 26, 2008. Raptors in North America are generally protected by Federal, State and Provincial government agencies so permits or licenses are required to capture or possess raptorial birds. Also a hunting license is required to pursue wild game with a falconry bird. I am in the process of acquiring the necessary permits at this time for the capture and/or purchase of two raptors.

THE ART OF FALCONRY. Tuesday, July 29, 2008. So the jesses are on and Chapal is learning to use a portable block perch. The only areas with much down is the crown and the uppertail coverts. The primaries and rectrices still have a few inches to grow which should be complete near the end of this week. Chapal still can't dismember food yet so lure training will start in a few days.
