Hi there. Can people give us a few pointers as to where is the best place to get equipment from ie are there many on-line or places that can send a catalogue?

I've searched the internet and not come up with much (1 or 2 but like to shop around).

I'm sorry if this has been asked before and I did have a quick look to see before I asked.

Thanks.

If you must buy, try here first and look at what you are after; you can get bargains and you can get tat!!!

What is it you require?

if your getting your hawk from bob at rochdale he will already equip it for you with anklets, jesses, swivel and leash.

Also get some leather and make your own jesses anklets ect its real easy-other than that what equiptment do you need?

I personally think it’s a good idea to purchase readymade equipment especially if just starting out and people are not happy in making there own. The supplier can advise on what equipment is best suited to the size, sex and species of bird.

I tend to stick to one or two suppliers, Martin Jones offers a fantastic service the quality of the equipment he sells is excellent and the staff are extremely helpful to.

All The Best,

Have to agree with AndyUk on this one, you'll be hard pushed to beat Westweald on service and price. Another one that is very good is falcon fabrications.

Very true!

Falconry Originals are also very good as is Ben Long.
