Accurately managing a bird’s weight is one of the most important and misunderstood parts of falconry. It influences training, motivation, performance, and long-term health, yet most decisions are still made using rough estimates and hindsight.
In this video, I run a simple experiment. For an entire week, I weigh a bird daily and commit to tomorrow’s weight in advance. No adjusting after the fact, no excuses, just predictions versus reality.
Along the way, I explain why regular weighing matters, how experienced falconers learn to anticipate weight changes, and what factors actually influence the number on the scale from one day to the next.
At the end of the video, I reveal how the predictions were really made, and why structured data can outperform even years of intuition when it comes to consistency and clarity.
This video is about evidence, repeatability, and better decision-making in falconry, not shortcuts or guesswork.
