help with owl

[moniqueen]

need help about training, advice and suggestion for my owls. owl on the left still at manning process, one the right is the one i keep from baby. When i should start training my owl, after moulting or before moulting? usually i feed my owl with tidbits on glove, but now when it stand on glove, my owl keep bitting the glove searching for foods.

in my country we dont have any regulations about falconry, and we dont have master falconer that we can ask for advice, usually i only search information from internet. sorry for my bad english


this is my bubo that i keep from baby

Repitetion and good weight management. flying to perches is relatively easy. place the meat on a perch with an arching hand gesture. you gradually increase the distance to the perch. the owl will learn the arching hand motion means fly there and i get food.
