thanks jasper i flew a female imprint many moons ago with the mate who wants one again she was a good hawk but christ if you didn,t keep your wits about you she,d foot you in the nearest thing to her i think thats why he wants to try a parent reared even though i have,nt flown anything for a few years i still keep in touch with a few bfc members and mates who still fly but even they don,t know about any parent reared everyone seems to be imprinting these days but i,ll keep looking you never know something might turn up regards mike.
