82 | / zna da se agresivne ptice ne umiruju ljubavlju, već mesom. One vole stomakom i pamte svaki postupak čoveka, ali ako se s njima ne radi, lako podivljaju. Ptica grabljivica je najsrećnija kada lovi – odgovara istom merom Igor, koji s prijateljima svakodnevno izvodi sokolove na trening. Od Bojana saznajemo da dresirane ptice mogu biti ljubimci, lovci i takmičari, ali da je u poslovnom smislu dobar i uzgoj sokolova za prodaju i za biološku zaštitu. Oni se kao ekipa trude da pokriju sve ove aspekte i veruju da su na pravom putu. –Biološka zaštita znači da se jastrebovi koriste u velikimproizvodnimsistemima, velikimhalama u koje uđu druge ptice koje nanose veliku štetu proizvodnji... Sokolovi su bolji za otvoreni prostor, jer njihovo prisustvo rasteruje čvorke, gačke, vrane i čavke kojemogu da opustoše voćnjake, poljoprivredne plantaže ili da blokiraju aerodrome – pojašnjava Bojan. S PTICAMA TRENER PRIČA RUKOM Neuki u ptičjim stvarima, pitamo ih gde su one kapice koje u filmovima viđamo na glavama dresiranih sokolova. Ana s osmehomodgovara kako razmišlja da i njih počne da pravi. – Moćno izgleda soko sa skupocenom kukuljicom na ruci šeika koji ulazi u svoj avion. Te kapice smiruju ptice i neutrališu spoljne nadražaje koji mogu da ih uplaše. Naše kapice su jednostavne i stavljamo ih samo tokom transporta na trening – priča Ana. Velika je ovo priča i veliki su snovi ovih mladih ljudi koji obožavaju životinje. Ana sanja da se jednog dana presele na planinu, da ima svog konja, a do tada se, osim pticama i tašnama, s istom ekipombavi uzgojemsrednjoazijskih ovčarskih pasa. – Sa životinjama je uvek lepo, ali je uzgoj veliki posao i velika odgovornost. Naročito kada sve radite po propisima, s papirima, registracijama, prstenovima... Mi sve radimo iz ljubavi, ali smo svesni da samo ogromnim radom to može da postane i ozbiljan posao od kog će naše porodicemoći da zarađuju za život kakav želimo da živimo. Slobodni i s prirodom– zaključuje ova preduzimljivamlada žena. Da su na pravom putu, uverili smo se kada su namdali trenersku rukavicu i na ruku spustili Mokija. Stajao je mirno, a onda je na lagani pokret ručnog zgloba počeo da širi krila, baš kako su ga naučili. Osetili smo sve osim straha. Čista, divlja lepota. discussions they decided to start seriously dealing with the breeding of birds of prey, with the idea of one day turning that into a job. Ana is there to feed them, ensure they don’thurt themselves, that theyaren’tkilled by the tether that binds them, while falconry training isdealtwithbyBojanandĐorđe, with the help of their friend Igor. “Caring for these birds is a 24-hour job that demands full dedication. It would be tough for one person to carry out all those obligations, and the most beautiful ones belong to me, because they love me the most,” jokes Ana, teasing the men in her team. “Our colleague is right and is well aware that aggressive birds don’t soothe themselveswith love, but ratherwithmeat. They lovewith their stomachs and remember everymovemadebypeople, but if you don’t work with them they easily become wild. A bird of prey is at its happiest when hunting,”responds Igorwiththesamemeasure. He conducts falconry trainingwith his friends on a daily basis. We learn fromBojan that trainedbirds can be pets, hunters and competitors, but that in a business sense it’s also good to breedfalcons for saleandforbiological protection. They strive as a team to cover all these aspects and believe that they are on the right track. “Biological protection means that hawksareusedinlargeproductionsystems, largeassemblyhalls thatareenteredbyotherbirds that causegreatdamagetoproduction ... Falcons are better for open spaces, because their presence scatters starlings, rooks, crows and jackdaws that can devastate orchards, agricultural plantations or block airports,”explains Bojan. TRAINERS SPEAKWITH BIRDS BY HAND Weaskthesepeoplewhoareeducated inall things relatedtobirdswhereare those hoods that we see on the heads of trained falcons in lms. Ana responds with a smile, explainingthatshe’salsoconsideringlaunching the production of them. “Afalconlookspowerfulwithanexpensive hook on the arm of a sheik boarding his plane. These hoods calm the birds and neutralise external stimuli that can frighten them. Our hoods are simple andwe put them on the birds only during transportation for training,”says Ana.
