today we are visiting the Faulk Center
0:02
on SoMo Island this is a little island
0:07
off of Denmark we took the ferry over
0:10
this
0:11
morning Welcome to our show now we'll
0:14
fly some bird and pray and some owls for
0:16
you we start in South America and you
0:19
guys from California know the little guy
0:22
esan H he's the mafia boss from Mexico
0:26
you can see it and then he's the
0:29
smallest one he's coming in here very
0:32
very with his Talons as well grapping
0:35
for the prayer sometimes our fingers and
0:37
then the big one that's Lindon so with
0:41
Anders there Talent is locked to Anna's
0:45
glove when the p take the pre they go
0:49
into a cramp like this and that's a sea
0:52
cramp it's not muscles cramping it's the
0:55
SCS locking on the pre so there
0:57
therefore he couldn't release him when
0:59
he was sitting there what we just were
1:01
talking about before look at the tails
1:03
the tails on a hawk are very long you
1:06
know that you have the rec tail the rect
1:09
tail hog the rect tail hog we also
1:11
called a b because it's have a short
1:14
tail you
1:18
go
1:20
okay before we start the show all the
1:23
birds have been on a digital weight so
1:25
we know how heavy they are if they are
1:27
too heavy we won't fly them because
1:29
because then they have no hunger they
1:32
kill with the
1:34
talents not with this the peak as you
1:36
see this SN here she they only use that
1:39
for a fork effort as a knife eating
1:42
bones and then she's saying don't look
1:44
at it don't look at it I will have it
1:46
for myself I don't share with nobody at
1:49
all because of the way the owl hunts it
1:53
is so much different from the other B
1:55
otherwise going to see because she
1:57
doesn't need AO she doesn't need to see
2:00
her
2:01
pray if we go to Canada or the states
2:05
like you guys or to Germany for that
2:07
matter places where you have snow and
2:09
leaves and so on this owl can find its
2:12
prey under up to 40 cm of snow you need
2:15
to Google what that is in inches and so
2:17
on I I'm not that good at that but this
2:21
one is of course from Africa so there's
2:23
not that much snow in Africa as far as I
2:25
know but she can still find her prey
2:28
underneath the sand just by listening to
2:30
it another thing that makes her a very
2:33
very specific kind of bird is what I
2:35
hope to demonstrate
2:40
now you might get a little haircut but
2:43
that's pretty much the only warning you
2:44
get that there's an owl coming all up
2:46
there what they will do is they will use
2:48
their ears with a little bit one is a
2:50
little bit higher than the other and so
2:51
they do a little disco Desco dance I
2:54
always imagine someone turned on some
2:55
Michael Jackson would beat it and then
2:57
it Go beat it just Beat It Beat It Beat
2:59
It there no there's no Michael Jackson
3:01
there's no music and it's not a dance
3:03
they are listening to where is the sound
3:05
coming from and they're very good at it
3:08
there's an owl in Sweden and this
3:10
Swedish owl they're very very good at
3:12
finding things based on sound because
3:14
their head is shaped like a big bow so
3:16
when the sound hits their face it goes
3:18
straight into the ear and they can oh 17
3:22
15 22 and a half under okay yeah let's
3:24
go so they're very very good at hunting
3:27
these guys
3:29
is Harry
3:32
Potter she can't see when things get up
3:34
close we've trained these chickens to be
3:36
invisible when they need to very very
3:38
prac
3:51
[Applause]
4:00
I will take it off I use it for
4:02
transportation especially when we go out
4:04
hunting with our Birds it's really nice
4:06
that Anders and I can go hunting
4:08
together and my bird can't see what his
4:11
bird is doing so I cover the eyes and
4:14
then I can go on a bike and motorbike or
4:16
or you know three four wheels and or a
4:18
horse in a lady SLE in the middle also
4:20
just have it in my car when I'm
4:23
transportating my bird active hunting I
4:26
will simulate a hunt is it's legal to
4:29
hunt here in Denmark it is um but he's
4:32
not trained for that he thought
4:34
yesterday he was trained for it because
4:35
he tried to grab some craws out here and
4:38
there was 5 cm before he got one of the
4:41
young ones so but he didn't he have not
4:44
no kill on his conscience
4:54
yet try to
4:57
listen you can actually hear me cutting
5:00
the air compared to the who compared to
5:04
the owl which is flying with no sound
5:07
his wing in English we also call this
5:10
the the long
5:13
Wings into a
5:20
real hey hey hey
5:25
[Music]
5:43
is the world as fast as animal when they
5:45
hunt they can reach a speed diving on
5:48
the prey more than
5:50
380 km per hour oh my they knock the
5:54
talent and then they punch the prey so
5:57
the head will fall off and die
5:58
immediately
6:04
I in
6:07
there whoa in
6:09
know have two different kind of hunting
6:13
ways they can stoop on the prey and then
6:15
knock out the talent with the talents
6:17
punch it very hard or they can do this
6:20
active
6:22
hunting as I'm trying to show you here
6:26
so this is also an important friendship
6:29
I'm training so he trust me and not
6:32
flying away and make his own kill and
6:35
become a wild
6:44
bird
6:46
so when we have the bird of prey in
6:50
captivity the Friendship is most
6:53
important because Els can just become a
6:55
white bird and hunt by himself and live
6:58
in the wild nature
7:00
so you have to accept and like that I'm
7:03
here so this is a tradition which is
7:07
3,000 years old here in Europe and in
7:10
the States but in
7:13
Mongolia it is
7:15
a tradition which is 5,000 years old
7:20
listen we go to the states to the north
7:23
of the states now to
7:25
Alaska and there we will meet the last
7:28
bird we will fly for you her name is
7:31
Alaska her body weight is 4 and A2
7:35
kilo and she love her voice he she love
7:40
her voice so
7:44
much
7:56
wow wow
8:24
about what you guys call this in the
8:25
states how when you decided on a
8:28
national bird or a national animal you
8:30
had the choice I don't know if you guys
8:31
know this you had the choice or don't
8:33
apolog this I suppose have the choice
8:35
between a um what's it called the
8:38
vulture or this lovely guy here the
8:41
funny thing is that the Americans
8:43
decided that this one is supposed to be
8:45
called a bald E I thought the choice was
8:48
that they didn't bald the vulture
8:50
because they are actually
8:52
bald yeah it's not always logical what
8:55
people decide to name the birds us D we
8:57
always name them after what we think
8:58
they look like so this is a white headed
9:06
eagle M remember her if not for her
9:09
handshake then definitely for her voice
9:12
she has a lot of power in her talents
9:15
we've been talking a lot about today how
9:17
all the birds of prey go into this
9:18
active lock with their attendant and she
9:21
does the same thing she just has first
9:23
of all she has bigger talents she has
9:25
quite a bit bigger foot and she has a
9:27
lot more power when she squeezes all
9:30
that she can she can squeeze up to about
9:32
half a ton of pressure shared on all the
9:36
talents so that's the reason why we've
9:38
gone up inze we've got quite a few uh
9:41
layers of leather to protect ourselves
9:43
and I've made sure that the one I'm
9:44
using compared to the one I was using in
9:46
the beginning doesn't have any holes
9:47
that's a preference I have yeah you can
9:51
get that out by yourself I know you can
9:53
don't eat the guest please that's not a
9:55
good idea okay yeah the queen has spoken
9:59
here you go buddy I it
10:04
[Music]
10:13
again so these guys as you can see have
10:16
quite big talents a firm grip as well
10:19
good handshake thank you my dear
10:22
yeah the funny thing about these guys
10:24
however a lot of things a lot of people
10:26
think when it's called at least in Dan
10:29
we call a sea eagle that these guys do a
10:31
lot of fishing and they can grab a fish
10:34
right at the top of the lake or right at
10:36
the top of the ocean but actual fishing
10:38
and Diving that's not so much for them
10:40
that's more the Osprey doing that kind
10:41
of business because if these guys get
10:43
their pants wet that's not a good that's
10:46
not such a good idea for them because
10:47
they're not that great swimmers if they
10:50
catch something quite close to the coast
10:51
they can swim a little bit but if you
10:54
guys end up finding an eagle out in the
10:55
big lake out far away from the coast do
10:58
pull those say want to come with me for
11:00
a little boat ride and then cross your
11:02
fingers that they're not going to eat
11:03
you because they will have a tough time
11:05
swimming in mean
11:29
finished we have no more birds it's
11:30
possible to hold one of them it's a cost
11:33
50 crowns and it a donation for kids who
11:35
have problems which we are working with
11:38
in a community so thank you for visiting
11:41
and uh now it's possible to hold one of
11:42
the birds if you like to do that
11:46
[Music]
12:06
what do you think
12:07
[Music]
12:11
Dylan this is a 3,000 year old tradition
12:16
however this originated
12:19
in um Mongolia so we've got all these
12:23
photos here and these are the original
12:26
Mongolians with their bird
12:32
[Music]
12:33
birds and here we've got some Little
12:42
[Music]
12:46
Cuties and we have opportunity to hold
12:50
some of the different birds and they
12:52
just ask for a donation of 50 crowns
12:55
which is I think it's like $7
12:59
us and they donate the money to work
13:02
with children okay so now we are at the
13:06
second oldest windmill in Denmark which
13:09
is Brun
13:11
St I hope I said that
