View Full Version : Kelly my new lass
First i would just like to thank a member on here for putting me in contact with some one who breeds first class birds,(after he started to trust me).I give this bird a GOOD checking over and she was 110% perfect in every way.He knows who he is.
it has taken me years to find a breeder that i could trust to rear the bird the way i wanted it to be reared,a full PR,UK born,2G,she was 17 weeks old yesterday when i went to pick her up,5lb-3oz but still room for 6-8 oz for top weight ?,them feet have already ripped my new glove and 2 of my fingers,now looking for a new glove,i'm going to give her 10/14 days to settle in before i start the hard work------ before any one asks,NO SHE WILL NEVER BE FOR SALE,EVER,not at any price,well here she is my new lass KELLY,Jed.
very nice looking bird mate, almost feather perfect, what's youre intentions for the bird, hunting shows ect!

Jiff no worries mate ------ isnt it funny,i've never had my own bird for 2 years now(been droped in the **** each year),i could sleep through a 3rd world war,but last night i was up 4/5 times at the drop of a hat because i heard her bells,jed
the bells, the bells! you can tell alot from the bells without a doubt, when i got my bird, my daughter slept with the wife for weeks so i could sleep in the back bedroom and sit up all night listening for bells:lol:
now come on Jiff ,it was because you started to **** the bed.
you aint never been drunk unless youve **** youreself!:lol:
you aint never been drunk unless youve **** youreself!:lol:

So, are there any advantages in a Bonellis Eagle over a Golden?

What a stunning bird you have. I read half way through this thread still didnt know what type of eagle she was. I thought she is some kind of goldiex steppe. Lovely wanna hear more about her.

Very nice mate, If i was the breeder I would be in hiding aswell.
Enjoy her!
As you can see Kelly isnt doing too bad,the hood i was useing only lasts about 5 mins on her,it wasnt worth it stressing her out going in just to rehood her for 5 mins so i'm just leaving her unhooded for now,waiting for a new smaller one and a good glove (finger up like a pudding),she didnt seem to bothered about the hound at the far end of the garden so i put him on the lead and walked up to the mesh,she was no bother,she's eating now so we will see her weight in the next week or so.jed

it feels like it,i regret ever swapping my first Bonelli's for Khan(Karl has him now,Goldie)i had some great seasons with Khan but i could not work my dog with him,and i love to see a good dog and any bird work together,i just hope things work out with Mac my GWP and Kelly,he's had a few problems of late,jed

That's a very beautifull young bonneli female!
Long live your eagle !
She has large feet and massive talons, as I see from the picture!
I bet she will became a great hare hunter , even a fox slayer, but I think in the future the fox may be a little harder prey for the Bonneli.
But during the time she will take foxes regullary, those feeta are massive and deadly!
Again, Long live your eagle :supz:
