This is obviously for the Gamehawk.


Very nice Bb! :D

Can i ask, is the feathering purely for decoration or something else? I personally don't like feathering decor on hoods, but i do believe they look nice sometimes, and in your case, the feather decor is quite artful!

The hood is made as it is because it was intended to be a traditional gamehawk hood.
A gamehawks hood is expected to have red eye pieces and a contrasting wool hackle below the feathered plume.
The feathers are to be taken form one of the hawks main quarries, in this case pheasant.

The hood for the Crow hawk is to have green eye pieces to signify a crow/gull hawk and will have no feathered plume, just a series of turks head knots

Thanks for that Bb. V.interesting mate. Thats me learned something new for today. Can go back to being lazy for the day now! :lol:

[Tim Laycock]

[Dave G]

thats better blackbird more like a hood ;) as the first lot looked like a pheasants head lol if you placed that hood on your bird and released another i bet it would turn around and nail it pmsl ;)

[Tim Laycock]

Not if you put it on a gamehawk as it was intended for :lol:

[Dave G]
