    Thanks for the info George/Accip both set ups look to work well looking at the condition of the birds. Did you make the guard yourself George or buy it in?

    I bought it from ebay with the intention of copying it easy made by the looks of it

    Here's the thing with me & tail guards....I generally don't like anything on the tail, although I have used tail bells, as you will see on the following pics, so I don't normally have a permanent way of attachment. I invariably just use a tail guard when feeding on a kill & use a large paper clip to hold it in place. I've always been very lucky & not had feather damage at home.

    I've had good results with loop perches & ring perches. Also used a swing perch, while attended......& I'd defo try one again.

    Here's something I tried some years back at a different house. It worked remarkably well for the duration I used it, but have to admit it wasn't for too long due to other circumstances. I would love to try it again someday...atb

    Mate of mine had a Harris that hated anything white , this bird would fly up sore like a buzzerd then drop like a stone , couple times he had strip of and get it off swans in middle of ponds  which nearly drowned him as well as the hawk , he ended up getting rid as it would active find out white stuff and had couple close calls with people with white hats but the final straw was when he slipped on a rabbit in front of a farmer on new permission and it decided to veer off and bind to a sheep ,  

    Brilliant that would of been funny I've seen them bind to sheep out of motor [BANNED TEXT] slipping at crows
