Sounds like you'd be better off totally covering it in except the roof. Goshawks usually pick a spot on the wall and bounce off the same place each time. Some people that I know have had success in putting some astroturf or matting on the contact points. I just clad the area off with polycarbonate and that worked for mine.

Dug up this old thread, is anyone flying this cross at the minute?
-
I would just gradually drop weight a bit until it will jump on glove to be fed then secure jesses and off you go!

If you feed a varied quality diet there wouldn't be any need to feed supplements.

RS4 7.5g RS2 3.5g. Mine is the RS4 better battery life and range. Don't get the Marshall they aren't any good on a hawk, they are designed for longwings, and I would still get the Microsensory. My mate is selling his Marshall GPS after seeing mine in action and buying Microsensory. The battery life on the Marshall is shocking mate, and a recipe for disaster with a gos. The other day my mate forgot to charge his Microsensory before he went out and the battery was a higher percentage when he packed up as the solar panels on the tag charged it as he was using it. Quite often mine is on 100%

Thanks! Yes it is, it was one of the first RS4's to be released.

Two more accidents whilst exercising #64 ?

I thought that was a Tug S, that's cheap for down my neck of the woods!
-
Thanks mate, yes another cracking day, looks like a seagull lol!
-
Out helping keeper today 4 accidents. My mates young white gos had a cockbird,and mine had two hens and a cock!
-
I'm the same, hawks are like dogs in the fact that if you double them up they become lazy and let the other/others do all the work then just pitch in at the end. You will see much better flights from your hawk flown on its own!
-
Yes this is common not all Harris's fly with others
-
Three more accidents today, I must try to be more careful when exercising her.#59

They are the most easily obtained hawk feathers, you can usually buy them or someone would post a set to you. Definitely the most suitable, I heard of someone that used to fit a Harris tail to his gos at the beginning of the season and always had a full set at the end of it.
-
You would be better off using Harris tail feathers they are a similar size and very flexible, they rarely break!

Typical carrying out some pest control for a keeper, and two accidents. My mates male Harris entered on a partridge while ferreting. Then my gos had the best flight of the season so far. We were walking across a field of kale to ferret a hedge and a cock bird exploded from the cover I slipped and let go of her jesses. The flight was 348 metres down a valley and she took it high above the tree tops with a spectacular mid air bind. Unintentional but a spectacle to behold, and a flight that I will never forget. ?56
