hi mate you will realy need a mentor to help you if your thinking about hunting one of these small falcons you need to hit the perfect weight window to have them killing and it can be very tricky i feed mine twice a day at hunting weight 4grams in the morning and 10grams at teatime and that sees her to the next day if you get one of these superb little falcons get hands on help mate it can be critical with there weight as mine wouldnt entertain quarry 1gram heavier than her hunting weight

 

atb hope this helps

ive had em in the past,theyre excellent little birds,but like macavelli said you have to keep on top of their weight,there is very little room for error,a female i once had took starlings,sparrows and the like but never had a pigeon although she did have a young collared dove once
