Falcons are cool and the gryfalcon is the coolest. How come no one has made a superhero out of one?
Are you kidding me? You are claiming a deadbeat father is to blame for the downfall of the family? What a load of garbage. Beautiful film but ridiculous story line. These aren’t human, they are birds driven by instinct, stop the propaganda .
I simply loved this documentry! They did such an amazing job capturing all the naimals! Ten thumbs up!
“These aren’t human, they are birds driven by instinct, stop the propaganda.”
When a non-human displays a behaviour, it’s “instinct.” When a human does the exact same thing, it’s “sentience, free-will, human intelligence”…blah blah blah.
Why do you find it so difficult to see that the parallels exist? An inexperienced and ill-prepared father will adversely affect outcomes for his offspring, be it a Homo sapien or Falco rusticolus.
“These aren’t human, they are birds driven by instinct, stop the propaganda.”
We humans think to highly of our selves. Has 1 human learned to communicate with another species in THEIR language? NO the animal learns to interpret some form(sign,verbal,hand signals) of ours. Who is the smarter?
indeed we can control our instincts better than animals. but i don’t think the storyline is ridiculous in any way, animals don’t have favourable circumstances as humans do. and the father isnt deadbeat, he’s just unlucky in finding food.
this helps with my report
i’v been waiting for
white falcon white wolf to come out.
The gyr falcon is the coolest bird not to menchion fastest in the WORLD!

By the way it’s “too” and “ourselves”. Careful, people may question your ability to make an intelligent rebuttal.
