adeyhawk1970 0 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Ive been flying my male hh for a similar time but as yet ive still to catch a pheasant.Weve caught 4 moorhens,1 mallard,1woody,1 squirrel and 2 brown rats.The squirrel was not flown on purpose and luckily the hawk only received a small bite onhis leg above his anklet.The rats were btaken while hunting ducks at a pond.The first one was taken without a problem but the second one was biting the hell out of the hawks feet(and my hand).Its taken about a month of rest and antibiotics to start to clear up the infection in his feet Quote Link to post
loulove1 0 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I have seen on other threads that squirrels can cause the hawks problebs with biting, I would have thought the hh would have been ok with rats but it sound like they have caused you a lot of problems adeyhawk, hope the hh is ok mate.

Beastmaster1980 40 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Has your hawk got a bit of Peruvian in it? Looks very light on chest and head area. Cheers Rich Quote Link to post
