Happy days are here. I pick up a female Harris on friday from a bloke that did nt have a clue about keeping budgies let alone a Harris. He had her in an aviary that was 3 ft wide and about 9ft long. She could nt open her wings properly. I have her at my house now and she has settled down really well. had her on the glove to for the first time today. All went well we has a bit of bateing and chittering but she settled after about 2 hours. Fingers crossed she will come on and work with the ferrets like my last one did.

Even when bowed, they should still be able to stretch wngs to their full extent!! :angry: and shes unlikely to be flying fit at this time of year!

She is coming on a treat now. She is sitting on the glove and feeding off the glove. She jumped to the glove yesturday for the first time for her food so fingers crossed she will come right after what she went through before. I am no expert falconer but i have been keeping birds for 5 years and feel confident with what i do and people like the one i got this bird off really bug me that they take these birds on with out knowledge and keep them in the way this bird was kept.

to be honest matey if shes moulting she should be free lofted at the min an not being trained.

my personnel preference but some people do things different. good luck with her.

If i had free lofted her from the time i got she would have done more damage to her feathers than bowing her. Now she is happy with me and being around me she will be free lofted until she finishes her moult so it was for her own good that i have done some training with her at this point.
