Nice one Jake look like you'll be having some fun .

 

I have 5 finnish birds back with Parents which three look like males! I also have three Finn x Hungarian chicks off and beleive it or not all look like males too, also 4 Peregrines three of which was Tiercels . not good when you consider the amount of effort going into it! its the year of the males for me I'm afraid.......

[jakepotjo 3]

we have 9 fins 4 female (gen1) 4 males(gen1) 1 male (gen2 witch is storm) and 3 albidus cross finnish un known sex as of yet and unknown if ther white or not ther should of been 4 but the female decided to eat the first hatched chick

 

looking on the iff ther seams to be a lot of imprints by my gess its due to time and easy trainability with them to me a gos should be steady with time time the more time the more you get out of the bird this imprint will have as much time as i put in to a pr bird and be flown at as much quarry in his first year as posable i cant say i will fly him in his seconed year as i have never flown an imprint nor have i ever flown a male the last male to be flown by are family was 18 years ago when i was young i can remember him being like a boomarang if he mised he came strat back to the fist but he hit a tree and broke his back

 

any way ill not bore you know more ill get some upto date photos up for you all as he is trying to stand on his wobly legs at the moment

well as it very hard to have the time to keep being on the pc and flying manning ect with a gos i will put up these pics for you all to see

 

he is around 23 weeks now and flying at 1.14 and 10 gram comeing first call to the lure and i will be flying him free on tuesday for the first time here are some photos of him growing up and for a male he has very large feet

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

untill a week befor i started him flying i never introduced him to the lure as with a parent reared bird they do not eat from the fist till you get them out to fly so i did this with the lure this has helped me a great deal as ther is only a small sign of agression i can swop lure for fist very easy with out any problem

 

i spend 4 to 6 hours a day walking round with him on the fist and he wants to chase any thing he sees witch is a very exciting sign

 

he is agressive to wards other people no agression to wards dogs over all i am happy with him the best part at the moment is he dose not scream when out this could all change be that dose not bother me

 

i know i have done the best i can and that i have put the bird in every sitiuation posable even walking round are local town on market day ect with no problem what so every

 

atb to you all i will get some photos of him today and let you see the finnished product
