Really questioning my choices in life…
What do you think falcons taste like?The one wholesome and true thing in your life is the relationship you have with your animals.
Don't be the weak link pal.

what breed is Olive?
Wirehaired Pointing Griffon.what breed is Olive?
we were going to get a Griff and then found a Pudelpointer breeder where I grew up in Southern Central Oregon so ended up going that route. Beautiful girl!Wirehaired Pointing Griffon.
Just a point of clarification.I have to say this isn't the first nor will it be the last of these falconry threads I read.
I just found this today and have really enjoyed the read. I would love to someday get an
American Kestrel or a Peregrine and hunt grouse and ptarmigan here in Alaska. I don't know if it will ever really be in the cards - maybe when the 5 kids are all outta school and moved out.
We just got our first dog - a Pudelpointer (no not a poodle mix) and are training her. She is fantastic and we love it. I can imagine the freedom and joy of a raptor, I'm also a private pilot and loved watching the American Kestrel we had living at the airport as he hovered and hunted all over inside the fence where no one could bother him.
Great write up - keep it up!
Oh no, I know how small the kestrels are. I used to watch the little male at our field. I was so surprised. Y the coloration. I looked into falconry a bit back then and thought if I ever did it those two would be my top two picks. I understand, they are only like 12 inches I think!Just a point of clarification.
American kestrels are no match for a ptarmigan. They mostly eat small rodents (mice, volles, etc), grasshoppers, and occasional small birds (starling or robin size). Dont get me wrong, they are fun little birds. I flew one once. The dumpsters and grease trap behind the local McDonalds is a great place to find some starlings on the routine - highly recommend!
I hope I didnt kill your dreams.
I love kestrels. So cool to watch them. Kind of a crappy pic, but it was cool to watch this guy pull off the fur and enjoy his meal. Exhibit A for eating small rodents.Just a point of clarification.
