The Top Fishing

Scientifically, blood is the essence of animals; feeding falcons with meat drenched in blood can help them recover their physical stamina and energy reserves more quickly.

But why use lean meat instead of fresh prey? There are reasons for that too.

The amount of lean meat is something we’ve planned before going hunting; the extra part is just dipped in blood. If we let Little White feast on fresh meat until full, the intake would far exceed the standard, causing it to get a big throat crop, which is not conducive to continued training tomorrow.

The Eagle Hunter, also known as the Eagle Handler, balances the falcon’s intake as food handling and feeding are often decisive. If it eats too little, the falcon lacks the strength to capture prey and can barely fly after a few attempts, making ongoing hunting troublesome.

If it eats too much, its internal energy reserves are too high, its desire for food too low, making it aloof, insensitive to established conditioned reflexes, and it’s also easier to lose the falcon.

I was very cautious when I approached earlier for good reason: to prevent large actions from startling the falcon, causing it to fly off. With only these two short twigs on Little White’s claws, if it wants to fly, I’m powerless to stop it."

This sparked yet another educational moment, as viewers were once again amazed by Lin Yang’s expertise.

As the old saying goes, all knowledge comes through learning; knowing the mere appearance isn’t skillful. Seeing through the appearance to the essence and understanding the reasons behind it is what truly defines a master.

This wasn’t merely a live broadcast of eagle hunting; the interpretation of falconry details within the nuances had reached an incredibly meticulous level, far surpassing those half-baked hosts who rely on gimmicks to attract attention.
