Log Book

Training & maintenance log generator

The daily weigh-in is the spine of falconry management — but a log book you will actually keep beats a perfect one you won't. Pick a start date, how many weeks and which days you log, and the generator lays out a print-ready sheet: weight and feed columns for every day, with rotating gear and mews checks shaded in so maintenance never silently slips.

Print at 100 % — the table is sized for Letter/A4 portrait. Tick boxes stay blank for pen.

How working falconers use this sheet

  • Weigh first, feed second — same time every day, before the first feed; the trend across days is the signal, not any single morning.
  • Write the feed down even on free-food days — “cleared, ¾ quail” takes five seconds and closes the loop on appetite changes.
  • Shaded rows are rotating checks — jesses wear quietly, swivels stiffen, slat gaps open; five minutes on the shaded row is the cheapest insurance in falconry.
  • Keep sheets in date order — a season of dated sheets is the record your sponsor, your vet and (if it ever matters) your agency all ask for.
