I have a few side projects stemming from it but I am most passionate about falconry. Once you start really getting into it it's pretty much all consuming. It's not an exaggeration to say that falconry is one of my top considerations when making life decisions. Transportation - have a truck for ease of cleaning bed, housing - bought a house with a big yard for a mews (and no hoa), job - flexible hours and cool boss means I can fly them during lunch (house also near job), family - I can manage one baby but 2 would severely hinder me (among other reasons, like money and first one didn't sleep for shit and still doesn't).
Right now I'm getting a server ready for bird video storage, security cameras, and to host a lemmy server for falconry as I didn't see one, and almost done building a mews for my wife. I love it.
That sounds super dope, what kind of birds do you raise?
Right now I have a male and a female harris hawk that I fly together, we catch rabbits:
And my wife has an aplomado falcon, they catch other birds:
Aww, they are adorable!
