[Moses]

as the title says

any of u guys ever had to retire your pride and joy coz of an injury, like a lost eye or loosing the ability to fly etc

i notice sometimes in the bird marts, people selling birds for breeding coz they cant fly any more.

any of u guys ever had that experience


cheers

i hope it doesnt happen to anyone, sounds bad mate as long as your bird can still fly i hope she aint missing her lost feathers the poor girl

i always check whats on in the birdmarts the ibr one and the other one, they just sold a goshawk for breeding only, poor sod only had one eye.

it will be very hard on people who really get attached to their bird and have awesome times and suddenly its out for life , cant hunt no more just sitting on the perch all day, heartbreaking it will be.

i know a lad he was hunting with his mates a yr ago with his harris and it flew towards where the wind was going it carried her away, next when he found her she hit someones car screen

she healed and is back to normal but she is too frightened and nervous to fly and hunt anymore, but he has hope her master , God willing she will be fine i hope one day.

cheers
