Steppe eagle

[Pearl]

could some one tell me the length of the tail for a male steppe please as i wish to get (make) a tail sheath aprox from tail mount to tip i would like to get it before i pull from the moult , any info would great :supz:

[Wingless]

Just measured an outer tail feather moulted from one of my aviary birds, from the point where it enters the bird (so not including whatever is inside the follicle) the feather measured 27 cm. So that should give you a rough idea, afraid i don't have any idea of this birds weight for comparison. Hope that helps.

What are the pros and cons of the Steppe Eagle. Are they good display birds and does anyone hunt with them?:

[Pearl]

i have flown and tried to hunt a female import from alma ata she was good to the fist good to dragged rabbit but not keen to chase the real thing , ive got this bird just as a play thing really and il hold my hands up and say its the eagle experiance again for me , having owned and hunted a female goldie this is the eagle i aspire to own again (one day) im only flying this male but if he wants to hunt fair play but if not then fair play again mate :supz:
