In this video i am going to show how i train Igor my kestrel to the lure. Kestrels are a very versatile little falcon, and can be trained to both the glove and the lure. Igor has only ever been trained to the fist so i wanted to have a go at training my kestrel to the lure.
Igor did really well in this weeks training, however he did spend a lot of time hovering rather than passing the lure, and while i do want Igor to be hovering in the future, i first have to get him properly flying to the lure.
In part 1 Igor goes through the stages from reclaiming to fly free to the lure, but he has a lot of work ahead!
