Scirocco is now 65 days old and has been responding well to flight conditioning and manning. He is strongly imprinted on me. Entering on prey is the next step in his training.
My interest in raptors started when I had the opportunity to rehabilitate an injured owl. Realizing I needed to learn much more about raptors and their needs I pursued the sport of falconry. I have used falconry equipment, training methods and experience to rehab many species or raptors.
I also have bred many raptorial species. After 35 years as a rehabber I have more or less retired but still fly birds.
I also have a strong interest in bird dogs and breed and train Small Munsterlanders, a great versatile breed for falconry as they will work many game species. Their strengths are pointing, natural retrievers from land or water and are excellent with people.
