hoping to fly a cast of harris`s next season as two of my mates have bought a male and a female harris so hopefully they both get along with my 4 year old male. they have already been on walks with me whilst i have been flying and hunting my harris. but there could be a problem, the female isnt bothered by him flying around at all but just sits there and watches wheras the smaller male cheeps and makes noise when my bird flys. is this a problem or is he just nervous with my bird flying. there ok when perched near each other just when my bird is flying he does it
