affaitage de passager

[nebli 0]

voilà ce que c'est qu'un bon affaitage n ceci est arrivé à un fauconnier américain hier :
au début du mois de décembre son passager "tundra" de 2009 a réussi à sectionner ses jets et s'envoler équipées de ses seules bottes il a cherché des jours durant son oiseau et rien probablement celui ci a pris fait bonne gorge et est reparti a des kilomètres, .
la semaine dernière on lui a signalé la présence d'un pèlerin avec des bottes qui avait été photographiéchassant des canards à 20kilomètres de chez lui près d'un lac et à 5 km à vol d'oiseau de l'endroit ou il vole habituellement .
il s'est rendu sur place et en effet le lac était plein de siffleurs et de chipeaux , c'était vers 5h de l'après midi , s'approchant du bord il s'est mis à leurrer et au bout de 15 minutes , elle est arrivéeet s'est mise à cercler à 30m au dessus de lui et il l'a récupérer après deux mois de liberté, son poids de capture en 2009 était de 870gr chaperonnée et sans gorge ,son poids de recapture était de 1012gr il la manipule sans qu'elle se jette et saute au poing sans problème
la question qu'il se pose est : à quel poids la revoler 800gr son poids de vol précédent ou plus près des 900gr ( 10% de son poids actuel , elle réagit(parfaitement)
magnifique histoire je trouve version originale si dessous .

The followers of this thread may find this story interesting. In early December my 2009 beach-trapped tundra peregrine escaped from the weather yard. She bit through her jesses - luckily the only equipment left on her were anklets an USFW black leg band. I looked for several days at nearby tall buildings and where pigeons roost in my area. No luck, I assumed she caught a pigeon or grackle, took a bath, caught a thermal and soared away for parts unknown. Given that it was late fall and that she was a 2009 falcon, I didn't think she migrated. Nevertheless, she could have traveled far away (200+) miles in no time at all. Well, last week I got a report that a peregrine with anklets was photographed catching ducks at a lake less than 15 miles away. And not too far from where I fly my falcons (approx 3 miles as the crow flys). I went to the place and time where she was last seen to look. Along the lake shore were large numbers of ducks, mostly gadwalls and widgeons. Is was about 5 in the afternoon so I walked to an open area near the shore and swung the lure for about 15 minutes. And to my surprise, she flew over and began to circle above at 100 ft high. I recovered her shortly thereafter. After nearly 2 full months of freedom, my 2009 tundra was sitting on my fist (I'm amazed). Her original 2009 trapping weight was 870 gr., empty, and wearing a hood. Now her weight was (is) 1012gr. empty, and wearing a hood. Evidently she has been living high on the hog and eating lots of duck.

That night I unhooded her and fed her a 1/2 a quail breast then rehooded her without a bait. In the weathering yard she jumps to the fist for a tidbit. When she first saw my tiecel peregrine she seemed to have a courtship reaction to him. Loud excited chupping. Now the question is how low do I drop her? To her earlier flying weight of 790-800 grams, or a much higher weigh reflective of her new set-point weight. To drop to 800 grams would be a 20% reduction. Perhaps she only needs a 10% reduction, given how well she's acting now.
