just crows magpie rabbit a bit of all sorts really [bANNED TEXT] the best bird for that kind of job i d get a male harris mate they can take feather and fur and a good bird to learn with to. quicker on the wing than a female harris , and if you do make mistakes the harris is more forgiving

no probs mate , what do u have in mind to hunt
-
every1 was trying to help the guy but he just gave no seriuos replys and just said he wanted to see who starved them to cut there weight every1 wanted to help i tryed
-
your just looking for a argument , whats the point of all this why didnt you just say in the begining who stavres the bird to cut weight down , personaly i think u havent a clue what your doing or you havent got a bird and just looking for arguments theres people out there wanting to learn falconry and want to now how to do these things and i got all the time in the world for them. then theres dicks like you richy who just want arguments
-
the bird is fine i know what am doing i have had the bird 2 years it is a female it flys at 1.9 has it been dna sexed , sounds like a large male to me but could be wrong how did you drop her weight for the last to seasons > a quick way i find is to get her doing jump ups builds there muscle up and helps loss some weight
-
[you tart which is the best way ?i got the bird from pets at home were do you think you waste to much time it does not take much time to answer the question genius what does the bird weigh know mate , is it male female is this years bird or older if you give more info on the bird the more people can help how long have you had the bird for
-
theres loads of people out there willing to help mate ,just do some home work on what u want to do with the bird , just fly or hunt and what you want to hunt birds , fur or both , then have you got enought quarry for them and your half way there ,Most people will alow you to go along with them hunting even if you do the donkey work for them you still learn and see what the birds can do, if you go on the iff website there are alot more falconers on there closer to u and worth putting a post on there

i flew my female harris throught the moult had no problems she enjoyed better than staying in the mews or tyed to the bow perch on the lawn only got a inch left on 1 tail feather , aslo i give her a full crop every week on a sunday and monday so over weight till wednesday and only at hunting weight for 3 days max , as for cover with the trees just gives squirrels and birds more places to hide and get to cover . and there fit all year long giving you a much better hunter and a better bird
