Flying with a Falcon and Gos Hawk

Postby ptuga72 » Sat Oct 23, 2010 12:45 am

Found this video of a peregrine falcon and a gos hawk, I thought it was really cool to see how amazing birds are at flying.

WOW great video, thanks for sharing it!! Maybe that is why we all love birds....My husband said if he could fly he would be like the Gos Hawk!! He is so stealthy

this is amazing... also why you should not fly a domestic bird where there are falcons... too dangerous, they maneuver so quickly!!!

have your husband try cutting up the meat every day, so much ick factor! I guess it would be easier to do for one bird than roughly a dozen birds but still not my favorite job to do where I volunteer. Holding/feeding them is extremely cool though :mrgreen:

That's amazing! I can't believe how that bird can navigate through the trees so well at that speed. Their reflexes are just amazing.
