1. First Days on the Glove

Rowan Halke spent eleven seasons as a rehabilitation austringer before she ever taught. She opens with the single habit that decides whether a bird will ever settle on your hand, and why almost everyone skips it in week one.

2. Weighing, Never Guessing

A scale tells you more about tomorrow's flight than any hood or perch will. Rowan walks through her morning log, the two grams that change a session, and how to balance appetite against weather before you ever open the mews.

Rowan reads a hedge line, a rising thermal and a dead-calm valley, then explains which of the three she would refuse to fly in and what she watches for in the last ten minutes before casting off.
