Coopers Hawks with Nicole Perretta
Sunday, 17 May, 2026

Cooper's hawks are arguably one of the most polarizing raptors of the falconry cohort. People either love them, or they hate them. In this episode, I am joined by Nicole Perretta, a cooper's hawk lover and specialist when it comes to accipiter health and development. We dive into cooper's hawk nature and how it impacts them as falconry birds, how to train your cooper's hawk to help maximize their success, and have some discussion on the differences and approaches to imprints, vs young passage/family group birds, vs true passage birds.
