This Module is the final part of the CAPTIVE BREEDING series. We have looked at the breeding facility, natural pairs and imprints, egg production and incubation. In this module we show how to rear healthy, good quality chicks from the time they hatch to when they are ready to begin training. Topics include the first 72 hours after hatch, brooders, temperature and humidity, dealing with unretracted yolk sacs, rearing junior chicks, DNA sexing, diets, problem chicks, identification and ringing, breeding records and pedigrees. We explain how and when to foster chicks on to imprint parents, placing chicks with natural pairs, multiple broods and feeding regimes.

Covers the many aspects of preparing falcons, hawks and eagles for the hunting field, for display and for rehabilitation. You will understand what fitness means in biological terms before moving onto the various methods (and their variations) used to obtain peak physical fitness such as lures, kites, high jumps and general exercises such as calling off. Once again this video combines science and technique with actual examples of falcons and hawks hunting so as to demonstrate the visible benefits of a really fit bird of prey.
