Falconry: Trapping a kestrel with a bal-chatri trap

In this falconry video we show how to catch an American kestrel falcon with a bal-chatri trap. This ancient trap was originally used to trap shikras. The modern version is made out of wire and fishing line and uses a rat or a mouse to entice the falcon to come to the trap. Such traps are used by falconers, biologists, and wildlife agencies and in the USA this trap cannot be used without permits from the government.
