[arcticgun 4,548]

Its coming very fast to the time where most of us will be lookign to reclaim our birds for remanning, how do you go about this. Ive free lofted for the first time thiis moult, he been in an open fronted mews as he works with dogs and I like to keep the assocation, he fully moulted now and am about to reclaim him, I reduced his rations yesterday , which did not please him at all lol , he looked well antsy all day yesterday, a little more settled today so I chanced it and went and sat in with him for an hour, he wont jump to the glove just yet, but I reckon another day or so and he will do it, Im determined that he will come to me lol I have time on my side, looking forward to coping him beak and claws both need doing, Im suprised a she has eaten loads of hare and rabbot carcass full of bones etc new leather and he be ready for manning down

 

Interested in othe rlads routines for reclaiming their birds, my old harris simply jumped back on the glove lol his lordship might take a day or two before we at that stage

I just walked in while he was on his rope, budged him up against the wall, then bear hugged him while my mate slipped the hood on him lol, not conventional but worked.

Never needed to, as I use Mr Hollinshead method, don't let the bird get too fat, bow it out, and even the odd lure chase, keep the relationship, and all that is required is a drop in weight and bingo youre away
