Beginner seeking advice

[Lewis1 19]

Morning all I’m after some advice. I’m considering getting a HH have done plenty of research in terms of housing, weight management, diet etc. my only concern is winter time when I will be getting home in darkness. How do other people get around this? How often should a HH be flown per week? Many thanks

Hi Lewis the more that you can fly them the better they will be. If only flown at weekends they can be disappointing as they will give up quicker because of lack of fitness. Ways around it are you could maybe lamp the bird a few times a week and or do some jump ups for fitness. I used to do restrained pursuits with my goshawk on days I couldn't fly for her daily rations, this helped a great deal with fitness.
