Zoology / falconry
English term or phrase: "make in"
Contexto: The next major step in training a long wing is to pull the lure away from it just as it is about to take it, making the bird wheel round, in theory, and attack the lure again. Once this is achieved the lure will be swung around the falconer's head, encouraging the bird to make more 'passes' at the lure, having it twitched away at the last moment. A bird may make forty passes at the lure once fit, the equivilent of circuit training. If the bird should catch it on the first pass it is rewarded with the small piece of meat tied securely to the lure, just as it is if it catches it on the fortieth. The falconer then 'makes in' to the bird pulling on the lure, and gently offers it more food on the glove as he replaces the birds jesses and ties it to the glove. You NEVER take food away from a raptor. Once the bird kills its prey, the bird is taken from it with more food on the glove.

Imagino que o pássaro pegou o pedaço de carne e pousou para comer. Então o treinador aproxima-se do pássaro... Chuto com base no contexto.

"desvia a atenção"/ disfarça, entretem


Explanation:
Penso q seja esta a ídéia no texto. O treinador desvia a atenção do falcão para tirar-lhe a presa... Ou simplesmente:
...tira-lhe a presa disfarçadamente.

Obrigado pelo toque, Antonio!
