Can it be cut and how?

Question

Adobe After Effects

Hello toasters and in particular those who are well versed in AE.
There is such a video fragment youtu.be/Jvj-pupeDXI from which I only need to cut out the falcon (yellow) and its flight from the beginning to the end. Is it possible to do this by means of AE, if so, please hint how or poke into the lesson.
I didn’t find anything useful in Google :( maybe I didn’t give queries correctly.

Actually, there are only 3 frames with a falcon (+1 frame - a trace), it's much easier to cut it out in Photoshop in turn ...
If you want in AE, then you need to "dance" either from the difference in color (the falcon is yellow, the rest of the picture is of other colors ) and filters that build a mask by color.
Or by movement in the frame. In this case, you can take the first frame, where there is no falcon yet, and compare it with each subsequent one (the simplest case is the overlay in difference mode). Since the frame is static, you will get a normal mask (the person will have to be cut off manually).
If you combine both approaches, you can get a good result. But I repeat, it will be easier and faster to do it manually and frame by frame.
