they look ok, but what is the material on the sides next to the top ? as occasionaly when falcons bait they need the grip of astroturf round the sides to assist regaining their mount!!, will the material give this ??

Fitted around the top is carpet, in the past I have fitted astro turf but have found that sometimes the seconary feathers may become damages and have found that carpet is a better option..

Colin I would be very suprised if a talon could get caught in this type of material but can understand your worries this could aesily be replaced for astro-turf.

Carpet comes in weaved loops and just straight fabric. Make sure you don't use the weaved loops. Sorry to hear about your gos, lessons learned the hard way are not the way we want to learn. I made my own raptor post and I was advised to make sure I didn't use looped carpet.

We are using the straight fabric.
