Hi Spud and welcome.

What exactly is it you are wanting to know? About Falconry in general or about barn owls...

Since you are volunteering, won't the proprietor and other falconers teach you things you need to know. Through experience, the best person who can teach you anything is yourself after a certain point.

Let me know what you need to know and i will try my best to help you out.

Weasle now why doesnt it surprise me to see you here?? nice to see you all the same hahaha. you moan about them but you still come on this thread :wink: :wink: :mrgreen:

spud, if you would like a book on training owls then you cant be our top lady jemima parry jones. Try and get her book Understanding owls. if you would like a book on just barn owls then a good one is mike reed and jake alsop 'The Barn Owl'.
hope this helps.

Hi Spud - a good book by JPJ ~ Understanding Owls
