from what i've read on getting the first kill mate i wouldn't worry too much, i'm sure it'll come soon enough
-
i remembered you both saying about leaving an area open at the top so was gonna do it, just wondered how vital it is. will goggle the netting, just need an idea for roost! cheers lads
-
How essential is it to have part of the roof area open? I realise it's better but just how important is it as my mews is only 6ft deep so would 2ft of open area alont the full 10ft width be ok? If so is wire mesh the best thing? thanks for the help/advice
-
yea though about conduit, good and strong but have to keep it looking like it fits in with the surroundings etc cheers, looking forward to getting the bird in there now (hawk type not tart type) lol

yes grovesy, there will be a 2nd door system going in mate (just have to think on that yet) and yes steve there will be a plywood going in both front and back!. Looking forward to getting it done now! might even block along the back so far up as to save on plywood (can get cheap blocks off a mate ) as for weighing the bird i have a shed at top of steps so gonna use that for weighing and for freezer. got heavy duty plastic for the back wall to catch all the crap mate as for the roost i havn't forgot about it but was open to suggestions please! was also gonna put a food chute in the front (i

Must admit building aviaries is one of my pet hates. Millet helped me bigtime with this last build, if I did it my way it would have been totaly on the piss and would have fell down by now . Now I know you like doing it you can come and build mine if I need any ihn the future . Looking good mate Jasp Ha Ha, well if it wern't for my mate who's a joiner mine would be on't piss also mate just as well he's helped me i'd be pretty knackered other wise Let's see how today goes, see if we can get the front section in pics to folllow

Well here goes with the start of our mews build. We're building on a sloped garden down to't river so obviously need to make sure it's built high enough up't garden not to get wet! Had to dig out a couple of ton of soil/earth at the upper end so it's level at't lower end so the upper end starts of around 2ft under ground with breeze block reinforced edges so the earth doesn't fall in! It has hardcore, pierced plastic ground sheeting with pea gravel on top so drainage should be good. It was always gonna be difficult to sort the wooden framework in sections but thankfully my mate helped out. T

totallty missing the point ,regarding the course i was saying that the people offering them are only after your money and dont give A CRAP about you being the next falconer or they would offer you it for free,what it is to them is buisness and praying on people. regarding harris hawks u have to look at the amount that are being bred and bought ,the vast majority get a harris for a season or 2 and in that time normally start talking about how much they want a gos next or long wing and soon sell the harris orand get what they wanted in the first place so as i was saying if you want a gos or e
