That was a seriously cool video. Thanks for posting this.

Kudos to the little girl who appeared to get the talons in her arm when the owl didn't get centered on the glove. She enjoyed the experience and didn't freak out.

I've strangely been a fan of them, but I don't know where that came from. I also didn't know how well they spiral.

Just majestic to watch, LiberalArkie…

(the birds) in flight opened a tunnel
through the wind would pass
to where birds were breaking open
the dense blue air -
and there, night came in

... and fly through tight spaces. So cool.

On edit: Looking online, it appears the bird folding its wings was a Harris's Hawk, not a goshawk. Apologies for the confusion.

These trainers are in the Netherlands, according to a Google search. The audience was so well behaved, especially the little girl.

Thx for posting, LiberalArkie.
