Goshawks are very adictive aren't they . it wasn't a ideal way to breed a bird in a weathering but it was the only way she would stand. when I see the P/R youngsters in the aviary like this after Hatching them and watching them being reared from a chick its sad when they all have to go, one pic if of 3 Finn x German females and the other is a Large Pure Finn female next to a Finn x German female, also a picture of a male from the previouse year a brother to Millets bird.... Jasper you have pm

i have flown harrises for about 7 years i recently bought a male having always flown females.the problem i have is that this bird who started flying free 3 weeks ago has started blanking me when free.his flying weight was 620g and was very responsive then he decided just to sit in a tree and completely ignore me so i thought i would drop him to 610g after three sessions of him ignoring me but he is still unresponsive,any ideas?have never had this problem with females.
