Started teaching Odyssey jump-ups to help get him back in shape for the hunting season! Hes a cheater tho, he just jumps to his perch first instead of to my glove LOL. I'm not too worried about that tho cus right now I just want to get him used to the overall procedure of jump up -> reward with meat tossed on the ground -> repeat.

Right now I'm just working on getting him in shape until his feathers finish growing in (you can see the patchiness in his tail where some of the feathers aren't full-length yet LMAO) and then it's HUNTING TIME BABY!!! Fingers crossed that he'll actually manage to catch more than 2 squirrels this season LMAO

#jawjackin #falconry #Odyssey #It's really neat seeing the difference in his behavior compared to last season too!#Hes responsive at a MUCH higher weight (he's 150g over his flying weight in that video) which is awesome #I'm hoping that I'll be able to hunt him at a higher weight this season!#i also got a free 2 week trial of a bird training course so im devouring all their video resources #on stuff like building motivation and secondary reinforcers and non-coercive negative reinforcement and a bunch of other stuff #im just really excited to see how he does this season lmao. especially now that he has a FULL SET OF UNBROKEN FEATHERS
