hooding in my opinion is a no brainer i see only postives in hooding a bird even a harris hawk and i think its worth the hassle and what ever work it takes for me to continue using it then thats what i will do! i think its always nice to have the option also if ever a situation arrises where you really need to use a hood and i think in falconry those situations always arise!!!!! my harris will take the hood but sometimes it takes 5-10 mins to be able to get the job done!! im gonna try taking off and putting on repeat repeat before every flying session everyday for a while i think!! cheers

i fly a harris and use a whistle, i started by casting her in a tree i use 1 whistle for follow on and 2 whistles for a reward it was quite easy didn't take her long to get the hang of it!! not sure if this is the best or right way but works for me she has just started to follow on by herself now and i don't always have to use the whistle hope this helps best of luck atb stu

It's not too bad if she is not bating about like a looney... ..but then again you don't realy need it there..if you are worried about her blunting her talon's when the hood does finaly come off a good lump of astro turf under the bow would be better..it's also easier to clean with the hose pipe or jet spray.. cheers millet i get on and order some astro for just underneath the bow.. she isn't bating at all mate well what i can see and trust me I'm out there checking her loads to much!!lol atb stu
