Falconry Weight Tracking & Analytics
Keep detailed records of your bird's weight and feeding history. FalconryLab goes beyond simple logging with automatic burn rate calculations and falconry weight predictions that help you make informed decisions about your bird's condition.
Weight management is the cornerstone of falconry, and FalconryLab's tracking system goes far beyond simple record-keeping. The app calculates burn rates automatically based on your logged data, predicts tomorrow's weight based on what you fed today, and alerts you when weight trends deviate from your bird's established pattern. Over time, the system learns your bird's individual metabolism and provides increasingly accurate predictions that help you make better feeding decisions with confidence. Falconers who switch from paper logs to FalconryLab's digital tracking consistently report that the trend visualization alone transforms their understanding of their bird's weight patterns.
How Falconers Use Weight Tracking
A typical morning with FalconryLab starts at the scale: weigh the bird, tap the weight into the app, and immediately see yesterday's burn rate, the predicted weight for tomorrow, and a recommendation for today's feeding amount. What used to require calculating from yesterday's notebook entry happens automatically in seconds.
FalconryLab supports unlimited bird profiles, each with its own complete weight history, training timeline, and hunt record. Whether you fly a single Red-tailed Hawk or manage a mews full of multiple species, every bird gets individual tracking with species-appropriate defaults for weight ranges, feeding recommendations, and training milestones. Archived profiles preserve historical data for birds that have been released or retired, maintaining your complete falconry record across years of practice.
How Falconers Use Bird Profiles
A general-class falconer managing a Red-tailed Hawk and a Harris's Hawk switches between profiles with a swipe. Each bird has its own weight history, feeding schedule, and training timeline. During the molt, the falconer archives the Red-tail's profile and starts a new season with the Harris's Hawk, keeping all historical data intact for comparison.
Falconry Feeding Calculators
Two proprietary calculators that take the guesswork out of feeding decisions. Built from real falconry data, these tools help you feed with precision — not approximation.
Built on proprietary algorithms developed with real falconry data.
Our proprietary feeding calculators solve the two most common questions falconers ask every day: how much should I feed, and how much did my bird actually eat? Built from real falconry data contributed by beta testers across multiple species, these calculators account for variables that generic calorie calculators ignore, including ambient temperature effects on metabolism, activity level adjustments based on training intensity, and species-specific burn rate curves that reflect the unique physiology of each raptor type. The result is feeding guidance that is genuinely useful in the field, not theoretical approximations that require constant manual adjustment.
How Falconers Use the Feeding Calculators
After recording the morning weight, the falconer opens the feeding calculator. Based on the current weight, target weight, tomorrow's planned activity level, and the expected overnight temperature, the calculator suggests a specific feeding amount in grams. The falconer adjusts if needed based on their experience, logs the actual amount fed, and the system updates its predictions accordingly.
Falconry Training Log
Log training sessions with automatic weather and location capture. Track progress across eight session types and understand what works best for you and your bird.
8 Session Types:
- Manning: Track taming and handling progress
- Creance: Log controlled flight training
- Recall: Track free flight recall sessions
- Lure: Record lure training progress
- Conditioning: Log fitness and conditioning work
- Hunting: Record field hunts with weather and location
- Enrichment: Track enrichment activities and environmental exposure
- Other: Custom sessions for any other activity
The training session logger captures eight distinct session types that mirror the actual training progression in falconry: manning, feeding on the fist, jump-ups, creance flights, free flights, hunting, maintenance, and custom sessions for specialized training scenarios. Each log automatically records weather conditions including temperature, wind speed, precipitation, and barometric pressure, along with GPS coordinates and session duration. Over a season, this creates a detailed training history that helps you identify what conditions produce the best responses from your bird and where training plateaus may require adjusted techniques.
How Falconers Use Training Logs
During a training session, the falconer starts a session timer with one tap. The app captures weather, location, and time automatically. Between flights, they rate each response and add brief notes. After the session ends, the complete record is saved with all context intact, no notebook required.
GPS Hunt Journal
Turn every hunt into a detailed record. GPS path tracking, custom waypoints, automatic weather logging, and weight/feeding integration — everything you need to review and improve your fieldcraft.
Available with FalconryLab Pro, an in-app subscription.
Every hunt is a story worth remembering, and FalconryLab's journal turns each outing into a detailed, searchable record. GPS path tracking shows exactly where you walked, custom waypoints mark flushes, slips, and kills on the map, and automatic weather logging preserves the conditions that influenced the day's hunting. At the end of the season, your hunt journal becomes a valuable reference for planning next year's outings, identifying your most productive hunting spots, and tracking your bird's development from tentative first flights to confident kills.
How Falconers Use the Hunt Journal
In the field, the falconer activates GPS tracking and the app records their path silently in the background. They tap to mark waypoints when game is flushed, when a slip occurs, and when a kill is made. Post-hunt, they review the map, add notes about cover conditions and quarry behavior, and have a complete record that takes less than two minutes to finalize.

Offline-First Architecture
Falconry happens in places where cell towers do not reach. FalconryLab's offline-first architecture means every feature works without an internet connection, not as a degraded fallback but as the primary operating mode. Data is stored locally on your device and syncs automatically when connectivity returns, with intelligent conflict resolution that ensures nothing is lost even if you log entries on multiple devices between sync events. This is not an afterthought feature; it is a fundamental design decision that reflects how falconry actually works in the real world.
How Falconers Use Offline Mode
A falconer drives an hour into public land where there is no cell coverage. They weigh their bird on a portable scale, log the weight in FalconryLab, check the feeding calculator, and head into the field. Three hours later, they log a training session and a hunt. Everything is recorded locally. When they get back to cell coverage on the drive home, all data syncs to their iCloud backup automatically.
Analytics and Insights
Data without insight is just numbers. FalconryLab's analytics engine transforms your raw logs into visualizations and trend analyses that reveal patterns invisible in paper records. Weight trend charts with moving averages show your bird's condition trajectory over weeks and months. Training progress heatmaps identify the days, weather conditions, and session types that correlate with the strongest responses. Season summaries aggregate your entire flying season into a comprehensive report that measures improvement and identifies areas for growth.
How Falconers Use Analytics
At the end of January, the falconer reviews their season analytics. The weight trend chart shows that their bird performed best between 1,040 and 1,060 grams, the training heatmap reveals that morning sessions on clear days produced the strongest responses, and the hunt summary shows a 40% success rate on cottontails, up from 25% last season.
Traditional Methods vs. Digital Tracking
For decades, falconers have managed their birds with paper notebooks, kitchen scales, and mental calculations. These methods work, and they have produced generations of successful falconers. But they have limitations: notebooks get lost or damaged, handwritten records are difficult to analyze for patterns, calculations are prone to arithmetic errors under field conditions, and historical data becomes inaccessible once a season's notebook is filed away.
Digital tracking does not replace the falconer's judgment or experience. It enhances them. A falconer who can see their bird's weight trend over the past 30 days in a chart has more context for today's feeding decision than one relying on memory or a column of handwritten numbers. Automatic weather logging removes a recording task that most falconers skip, creating a dataset that reveals correlations between conditions and performance that would be invisible otherwise.
The goal is not to digitize falconry for its own sake. It is to give falconers better tools for the decisions they make every day, while preserving the hands-on, field-focused character of the sport that makes it meaningful. FalconryLab is a tool, not a replacement for experience. The best falconers will always be those who spend the most time with their birds in the field, and our aim is to make every minute of that time more informed and productive.
