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.
Free for personal, non-commercial use — print as many copies as you like. Companion tools: the feeding calculator for reference ration bands and the equipment checklist builder for the kit that goes with the log.
Still planning the mews itself? The mews size calculator suggests chamber dimensions by bird size, or back to the full printables library.
