i flew a male last year, he came to me as a phyco!(hence the spelling)his head was proper messed up,he was ok when hunting but if you were just excerciseing him he'd go loopy, flew him for a season, then he had to go,had me in the face and neck, but i learnt alot from that bird, i had a female at the end of the last season, which im flying this season, the male is a reserve bird that i will get out just after xmas all being well
