hi mate,

 

dont matter what anyone tells you there is no such thing as a totally quiet harris, if manned well and trained they love huntin and whenever it sees you it wants to go huntin! i took mine well early 8 weeks only cos if i didnt someone else was gonna and he is a great bird, tottally silent in the field but if i walk past his aviary or whenever he sees me he wants to be out, never been fed in the aviary and although took early not imprinted as was left alone till 12 weeksand fed bliind through a trap in the cage. if your lookin for a silent bird look for somthin else or move next to someone deaf! i got several mates with harrisis and every one is vocal not persistant screaming but there will besome noise no doubt about it!

MY OLD MANS GOT A HARRIS AND SO I BROUGHT ONE AND AS JOHNNY SAYS DON'T ASPECT IT TO BE SILENT ALL THE TIME .MINE DIDN'T MAKE ALL THAT MUCH NOISE. IF YOU HAVE IT FROM A NOT TO EARLY AGE ......IMPRINTING.. AND YOU MAN IT YOU SHOULD BE OK .

AND WHEN YOUR FLYING IT AND IT CATCHES YOUR QUARRY AND ITS YOUR BIRD THAT DOES IT. YOU'LL BE BUZZING AND YOU'LL THINK f**k THE NAIGHBOURS. TRUST ME ITS MINT..

the other upside is the bird makin a bit of noise took the heat off of my two rotties that everyone in the street has sent a letter to the council about barkin! mines the only garage in the street not broken into though!

well im afraid you have

a. been told wrong.

and b. made a mistake in the upbringing, as aside from a quiet croak when i say good morning ,some gentle peeps when its feeding /hunting time and a loud hh squark when a fox is in the field i dont hear a peep from my cast ,although i will emphasise they are more vocal in their first year but not enough to bother a neighbour

 

hedge your bets take a 20 week bird and get a mentor to give you good advice on the weight control and the feeding /bridge system you use to avoid vocal hh .oh an intro dogs early on
