[Tessa]

Who went to the Falconry Fair in Telford. Brill day wern't it. Got myself a great food supplier and made some good friends. Have you ever seen a falconer fly 3 falcons at the same time VERY IMPRESIVE. Been to the falaconry cenrter yesterday, flew the Bold Eagle MAGIC. Jeff was ace helped with lots of advive. He has a 15 year old Harris named Henry. Great bird well worth a visit. Got mysely a Male Harris on order for training this year anyone got friendly advise.

:shock: You want some freindly advice!

DO NOT IMPRINT A HARRIS HAWK UNLESS YOU WANT TO WEAR IT ON YOUR FACE :!:

A blunt and dogmatic statment, but its the best advice I can give you.

Such a bird will put you off falconry for life and it will be your own fault.

Infact, Who gave you this Idea :?:

It will be their fault :!:

Do not imprint harris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW why to imprint HH when you never tried PR+imprinting harris has no reason, maybe some creche reard if you have Falconry center but I also saw brilliant PR harrises in display.
I always ask same question to new falconers here in Croatia when they said that they want imprint gos!!!! Than I asked them why, and they told me that they will be secured from escaping. Who ever is doing imprint of any kind of BoP for this reason shouldn't be involved in falconry untill he gets all basics.
You must know very well PR birds behaviour to make decision for imprint and to know purpose of this imprint.
You will much more enjoy with PR harris, I tried it and it is great!

Imprinting a Harris!!!!!!!!!! NO amongst all the other advice, it wil scream and scream and scream and..................

[Hells99]

Imprinted HH's do make very decorative permanent features atttached to your anatomy - not my idea of fun!!

Imprinting a Harris!!!!!!!!!! NO amongst all the other advice, it wil scream and scream and scream and..................

Where as a PR only might possibly scream and scream and scream.....


But in echo to those above DON'T imprint a harris as your first bird!! I'm hoping its a typo in any event....

Gotta be a joke to provide a response on here! if its not then for the sake of the bird dont do it. especially if you like falconry because as BB said i will put you off for life.

best harris i ever flew was an imprint, she was 20 years old though and not trained by me, but i do agree that an imprint harris is a bad choice for a first bird, go for a parent reared
