In this episode Al talks to Ed Pitcher about his philosophical approach to falconry in general, and, how he prepares his birds for a life of hunting with him, in particular. We use his book, “the Flying of Falcons”, which he co-authored with Ricardo Velarde to structure topics of conversation. Ed recounts how he and Ricardo settled on the title for the book, and he defines some terms that the listeners may initially misunderstand (Self actualization, Genetic push, Predatory mindset, Wild mindset, Hunting mindset, and Fueling the motor). Ed then takes the listeners through his view of the developmental sequences, as follows:
1.1. Genetic Push
1.2. Early Development
1.3. Categorical Thinking
1.4. Fear Factor
1.5. Fidelity Factor
1.6. Trust
Part 1 of this two-part episode ends with the Ed recounting the story of how a neglected falcon named Buddy reclaimed his status as a self actualized avian predator.
