Hello! I’m Kennonite, a master falconer. I have been experimenting with osprey as falconry birds for several years and have had success in their husbandry and also in catching fish. I am going to use this blog to illustrate my process. Meet Orville, a nestling I obtained the end of April.
This is what he looked like 3 weeks ago. They grow really fast, eating lots of fresh fish.
I am now hooding him occasionally, under supervision. The hood is very loose. I am just trying to expose him to the concept. I also am showing him everything, scratching him, carrying him around a lot. I weigh him daily and feed him 2-3 times a day. He eats all parts of a fresh whole fish, cut into sizes he can swallow.
