1:08:02
You've got to feed 'em
when they're hungry.
1:08:04
You can only do owt at feedin' time, sir.
1:08:08
- Yeah?
- Got these jesses on, sir, all t'time.
1:08:11
- These what?
- Jesses, sir.
1:08:14
- How do you spell that?
- J-e...
1:08:16
All right. Come out here.
You'd better show us on the board.
1:08:20
"Jesses". That's a new word to me.
1:08:23
Hands up those who've
heard of jesses before?
1:08:25
Nobody. Go on, write it up there.
1:08:33
Right. Now tell us what it is.
1:08:35
They're leather straps, sir.
And they attach to t'bird's feet.
1:08:38
Say I've got t'bird on me hand. Straps
come down there. Then there's t'swivel.
1:08:43
"Swivel". Write that on the board.
1:08:49
- Then you've got your leash.
- "Leash". On the board.
1:08:55
I fed it on me hand first.
1:08:57
Then, when it got to know me,
I fed it on me glove.
1:09:01
And after a while,
I put it two inches away from its claws.
1:09:05
And, er... Like that, right?
1:09:08
lt started to jump for t'meat. When it
started to jump, I could move me hand.
1:09:13
- Hold your hand up, so we can see.
- I could move me hand away, like,
1:09:17
to four inches and six inches. And when it
were doin' that, I started it wi' t'leash.
1:09:21
Do they need water? When you've got
a budgie, you put water in the cage.
1:09:25
Do they need water like that?
1:09:28
Well, it, like, has a bath. lt has a bath
right early on int' morning, like.
1:09:33
When do yer feed it?
How many times a day?
1:09:36
To start off with,
three or four, to get it plump.
1:09:39
- You make it sound very exciting.
- lt is.
1:09:41
Most exciting thing was
when I flew her free first time.
1:09:44
- Do you wanna hear about that?
- Yes, sir.
1:09:46
Aye. Come on.
1:09:48
Well, l'd been using t'creance
for about a week,
1:09:53
and it had been goin' 30 or 40 yards.
1:09:55
And it says when birds
are goin' 30-40 yards, it says int' book,
1:09:59
it's time that it can start to fly free.
