Falconry Tethering Ring


What is it?  

A tethering ring is a device used to secure a bird to its perch or tethering point, ensuring both safety and controlled movement. It allows the bird a certain degree of freedom to move while preventing it from flying away or getting into unsafe situations. This tool is commonly used in aviaries, falconry, or other environments where maintaining the raptor’s safety and accessibility is essential.

How does it work?  

The ring is attached to the end of the leash and looped securely to the perch. Its circular design reduces strain on the leash and allows smooth rotation.

Tips and Recommendations:  

Choose a ring size proportional to your bird’s gear to ensure proper functioning. Stainless steel options are durable and rust-resistant. Periodically clean and inspect the ring for signs of corrosion.

Conclusion:

A tethering ring is a crucial tool in falconry, providing a secure yet flexible way to manage a bird’s movement while ensuring its safety. Choosing the right material and regularly maintaining the ring can help create a stable and comfortable environment for your raptor.

Welcome to my falconry website! My name is Richard, and I have been practising the art of Falconry for over 15 years. My fascination with birds of prey began at a young age when I visited a falconry sanctuary as a kid. The experience was truly captivating, and from that moment on, I knew I wanted to learn more about these majestic birds. So my dad and I started to adventure towards the possibility of one-day becoming falconers, and that's how my journey in Falconry began. I find birds of prey to be remarkable at hunting prey. Their strength, speed, and intelligence are truly remarkable, and I've always been fascinated by the relationship between a falconer and their bird. The first bird I started my falconry journey with was a Harris Hawk, as I knew these were the easiest birds to start with. Unfortunately, I lost my Harris Hawk during the early days of training, which was devastating. However, this loss only made me want to try harder and do better in perfecting the art of Falconry to ensure I never lose a bird. Over the years, I have mentored many apprentice falconers and shared my knowledge and skills along the way. I have experience with a variety of birds, including different species of Hawks, Falcons, and Owls. Although my Best choice of bird to hunt with has always been my Peregrine falcon Jules. I have also worked with many experienced falconers and bird trainers, greatly expanding my knowledge and skill set while observing and learning. Unfortunately, due to a lack of information on the web, I struggled to find what I needed when I started in Falconry. Thus, I created this website to make learning about Falconry easier and faster for those interested. Now with the information and experience, I will provide throughout this site, understanding Falconry should be much easier than when I started out.
