Sean
All you need to do is place insulation tape over the slit of your bell to muffle the noise.

[Shaun Byrne]

I take it you want to remove his bells Sean?

If so dont bother, just tape them up when you are lamping.

[Sean]

thanks guys .ive tried taping, but noise still comes from them lol

use button bewits on the leg bells.

How many bells have you on him ?

[Sean]

just the one mate

[Claire]

button bewits are easy to make and I've not known them to be pulled of though I guess it could happen

[Sean]

hi claire, didnt even think of the button bewit, are they easy enough to remove?

[OutFlying]

sean just place a small piece of card in the slit of the bell and tape it up they will make no noise then ??

yes button bewits are easy enough to remove one handed we used to use them for telemetry tag if a bird moulted out its tail mount

[Sean]

sorry OF, i just saw how many bells have you on him, but after rereading i realise now that you have got the button bewit idea(i can be pretty silly at times lol) thanks romomeo, i tried using a bit of curled up newspaper when i tried him on the lamp at teh end of the season there, but it was just too figity lol, this button bewit sounds good, but i guess ill need to experienment. thanks guys

Sean I use a bewit with a Velcro type fastening as I choose to take the bell off my FHH when not flying as she is frequently in my office when I am working.I tried different types of velcro type materials until I found the type I use[I don't know the name of it] ,It is very strong black in colour and has kind of hooks on.It has never come off and she would not be able to easily pull it off.I use it with a peels bell which has a wide loop on.I will try to find out the name of the product if you would like to experiment.

Wet blotting-paper, will work, then when it dries (and falls out) the bell will still ring, just in case :wink:

thanks hobby :) and a pic would be great. steven, do you mean just a bit of wet paper, and stick it to the bell?

Hi Sean,

Excuse the **** drawing. You know the blotting paper used for drying ink from pens and such on paper?

When wet it expands. When it dries it contracts. So stick a wet piece into the bell. If anything bad should happen, once the paper has dried the paper will fall out and the bell will ring, where-as with tape/card it wont.

[Sean]

thats a great ideamate, thanks very much :)

I have used a tailmount on my female harris like for a telemetry transmitter.
I used a transmitter spring clip with a bell attached. This can then be removed or swapped for a clip with a beta light for use at night. The things you by form a fishing tackle shop which you break and shake to produce a luminous light. No sound but you can see the light moving as the bird flies around.

Has worked for me in the past.

Good luck with the lamping,

Mark.

thanks mate ill need it lol
