The Fat Bird, Ugly Dog Podcast

The goal of this podcast is to present alternate viewpoints on falconry. Topics covered range from training philosophy, husbandry, and health of birds and bird dogs to conservation and management of raptors, their main prey species, and the respective habitat that they rely on. In addition, I’ll cover-off themes related to hunter ethics, fair chase, and access to public and private land. I’ll outline efforts that falconers can make to contribute to all of these topics of conversation.

    Around 43 min mark there is a factual error. The issues regarding 1st Amendment Rights specifically getting paid for speaking on/with raptors was litigated in California in Federal Court. Both California and the US Fish and Wildlife Departments conceded and struck all regulations in California all restrictions regarding use of our falconry for pay not just reimbursement for expenses for education, presentation on all media forms including advertisement and movies. Stavrianoudakis v CDFW and USFW. and after appeal on the balance of complaint standing granted and remanded back to lower court to affirm and reinstate the complaint regarding 4th Amendment rights, specifically the illegality of “unannounced inspections” as illegal searches.

    Wow what a great pod cast
    So amazing to see the changes in Falconry in my 40 years in this adventure. Al Frank has done an incredible job providing history, insight and and updated information on what available for falconers today. Discussions of integrity, knowledge, skills to apply and skills not applicable to my individual situation. What a great show!!!!! Thank you Al for such a great time
