TrAINING EAGLES By joE ATKINSoN THE EASy WAyl NEW! This is a step-by-step DVD that follows the training of a passage female golden eagle from her first feeding on the fist to her first kill in the field. The purpose of this DVD is to give a new eagle falconer a low stress method of training a freshly trapped eagle that will reduce the chances of stress borne illnesses such as aspergillosis. I developed the techniques used in this DVD while training many asper recovering eagles. I needed to find a method of training these birds and getting them hunting and back out into the wild without over-stressing them and possibly causing them to have a relapse. What I found was that by training in this manner, not only did I not have any eagles get sick, but I also ended up with super hunting birds. There are many ways to train birds and this is just one of many, but it works and has proven itself many times over.
