partridge

[Peregrine2]

a few days ago somebody asked me what the quarry was for my falcon, I think it's partridge and pigeon, we call it patrijs, its a slick bird about the size of a little pigeon, that flys fast in a group of 4-7 and goes directly into cover when possible, the co lour is grey brownish, is this the description of partridge, ? thx for an answer 8)

Welcome to the forum Peregrine2, hope to see a lot more of you?

Yes a Patrijs, is a partridge in English, in South Africa where I originally come from we fly at many 'patrys' or francolin, but they are all the same birds basically.

What are you flying?

[Peregrine2]

i'm flying a gyrx peregrine male and a macropus peregrine female

[Hawkmaster]

Great how are you finding the hybrid? What style do you fly him, as a gamehawk?

[Peregrine2]

no , they both " wait on" let me explain i hide the lure and they make hight, then while they are above me, I have the possibility, or the dog to hunt out prey! I hope these terms will be understood and corrected :?

hello peregrine2,
where do you fly your birds? where are you from in belgium?

[Hawkmaster]

Yes that is a gamehawk. The other is a pursuit hawk that chase off the fist, like rooks or gulls. :wink:

Great what height do they go to?
