9 days and free flying!!

[Mikey]

Have had my male harris 9 days today...At 1600hrs we were free flying!!??AWSOME MAN...AWSOME.Had to pack it in though when he dive bombed someones Budgie aviery!!??........THANKYOU HAWKMASTER...for all your help and advice..you are the hawkmaster..(now write that book!!)

[OhMyGod]

can you not find somewhere a bit more suitable to fly the bird?

Perhaps your hunting ground would be better.

[Mikey]

this was out in the middle of nowhere m8!!!just so happened one guy had a flamin aviery in his garden.Some people are so up themselves....do you think im'm flying in the middle of town or something!!

[Mikey]

Unfortunately i live in devon...not the brecons or alaska...eventually we will come across human habitation....this settlement had an aviery!!!

[Finnish]

Hey Mikey any pic's of him or what.

[Mikey]

Yes m8...H.M has most...but free flying ones from today will be soon

[Mikey]

Hey Lee...is omg up his own bum or am i taking things wrong way!?

[OhMyGod]

I live in england too.

However I wouldn't fly my bird where it's going to land on peoples breeding birds and scare the **** out of them. If I were taking my harris for a walk I would walk away from these kind of obstacles, like peoples pride and joy. How do you think people would look at falconers if everyone let this happen?

I would be extremely ****esoff if I were breeding gos, spars, gyr or whatever and somones eagle landed on the top trying to foot them.

[Mikey]

Oh dear...i can see you've had a bad day...so we'll leave it till another time shall we.

[OhMyGod]

no, had a good day actually, thanks.

If you think this is acceptable fine, I don't, and think you need to engineer your flying in a way that it will not interfear with others. Do you have permission to fly in this garden? Do you think everyone in deven does this?

You may think I'm out of order fine. I still think you should be aware that you got too close to where you shouldn't be flying and you ***ced up!

[Renton]

You may think I'm out of order fine. I still think you should be aware that you got too close to where you shouldn't be flying and you ***ced up!

Too right!

[ColdZero]

yeah...you ruined what should be one of the most memorable times with your bird by being a tit.

[Impster]

a bit harsh lads lol but its true ! never mind ime sure we all have ****t up once in our life ? .............

Of course this was not looked at as fine, the bird flew away from where it was being flown and ended up seeing the budgies from a heigh and a distance. Nobody knew they were there or could have prevented it.

yeah...you ruined what should be one of the most memorable times with your bird by being a tit.
How brave you are? Say it to his face? :lol:

let he without sin cast the first stone
Exactly!

[Kornie]

Accidents happen. Im sure mikey will avoid that specific route next time.

Let me be the first to say congratulations Mikey for getting him flying free in 9 days!!! Thats an acheivment. :)

CZ... wtf are you talking about! **** happens! It shows potential that he is already trying to kill.

Alex.

[ColdZero]

true **** happens, but usually people learn from their mistakes don't they :roll:

[Lanner Nut]

gratz m8 :D

some ppl seem to every chance they get to nit pick

[Mary Quite Contrary]

WELL DONE

That's is quicker than a falcon, i am very surprised at this? i take it you are using telemetry.

Martin hollinshead has had mishaps with chickens taken by his birds in back gardens that run along side his flying land so it can happen to us all.

Chill winstone :P

[MickeyDredd]

I dont really see what Mikey did wrong here, it appears that the ground he was flying his HH on has gardens relatively nearby and one of them has an aviary in it that he didnt know about. Has nobody else had a young bird b*gger off when it spots something of interest, or even get blown away with no telemtry on.

yeah...you ruined what should be one of the most memorable times with your bird by being a tit.

SHES BACK!!! **** YEAH

i am so relieved its unbelievable. She was at the manor house

The words pot, kettle, and black spring to mind.

[Arthur]

let he without sin cast the first stone :lol: :lol: :lol: :prayer:

stone me !!!!!! ((:-)))
hope it don't hit my new mews ,

[Hawkmaster]

About 100 yards at a guess? Some people just want to damn others.

[OutFlying]

It's just another lesson learnt.

CZ, he probably has learned from his mistake if he went back and the same thing happened maybe your comments would be justified?!

[Mr_Colin]

true **** happens, but usually people learn from their mistakes don't they :roll:

Oh come on ColdZero, nobody has said he hasn't learnt from it, if he didn't know the avery was there and the bird found it, now he knows and I am sure Mikey is sencible enough to avoid the area.

Mikey, take no notice mate, some people are only too happy to critisize without really reading all the facts, so well done. Can't wait to see a pic of your first kill.

By the way my mews is looking fab, thanks for the plans.

Colin

[Xantara]

Hi Mikey

Cool must of felt good !

Ye ye so his flight wasnt perfect but dont bang the man he must of worked really hard give him some credit init

xan

[Wightwings]

right guys and gals..enough..........it seems Mickey has worked hard and achieved a good result but as usual on here people are jumping onto the Fe c ki ng negatives......i will ask ANYONE on here to say they have NEVER had or made mistakes during their falconry experiences........tell me you havent an i tell you your a liar........people have stopped posting for fear of this kind of off the thread responce its sooooooooo boring.....

Well done Mickey i'm pleased for your success and i know you will learn from your birds adventure.........he seems ready to enter mate......i look forward to that post

Chris

[MickeyDredd]

WW

It is Mikey not Mickey :wink: :lol:

[Wightwings]

hey whats a c between friends.... :roll: :wink: :butthead:

[Albie]

Hi there All,
As someone who has only known Mikey for a little while I have to first congratulate him for having Trained "Blue" his young male so quickly.
And as for the aviary incident that was unfortunate.
But you will all have to go a long way to meet a more dedicated man with such a will to learn everything there is to know about Falconry.
Mikey joined several of us who put on a static display last saturday and Blue was so calm on the fist, and that only came about with the time this man has put into training this bird.
Well done to you Mike.
Albie.. :wink:

[Mikey]

Wow!!!...didn't realise that 'boasting' would cause such a Mixed reaction!?
Thankyou to those of you with kind comments.Yes it was awsome..and each day is more awsome than the last as he finds his wings. It was a most memorable day!Blue went home full of food and the next day we flew, his response was nothing but instant.He obviously had a good day!
Now for all you apparent know alls! You obviously dont! and if you value this forum,and your falconry i would politely suggest you chill out b4 you put a load of people off before they even get started

yeah...you ruined what should be one of the most memorable times with your bird by being a tit....a quote from cold zero i believe...you i look forward to meeting.

[Ninja-Jon]

Hope you have a cracking season with your new bird mate well done..

[Hawkmaster]

CZ, he probably has learned from his mistake if he went back and the same thing happened maybe your comments would be justified?!
Mikey said right after it happend, he would not be able to fly there again. All I can say is that the priginal statement reflects on the falconry mind and experience of the source, not Mikes!

Well done mate, keep it UP!

[ColdZero]

all i saw was him saying his hawk crashed into an aviary, which fair enough is an accident...but the response he gave to a polite question was

this was out in the middle of nowhere m8!!!just so happened one guy had a flamin aviery in his garden.Some people are so up themselves....do you think im'm flying in the middle of town or something!!

just gave the impression he didn't care...if thats not the case then i apologise.

oh and i have learnt from my mistakes/accidents...my whole point was i didn't get the impression he will...but like i said, i apologise if this isn't true :wink:


congratulations btw, i wish i had terra going that bloody fast, we would of bagged something bu now :(

[Wightwings]

funny thing is CZ thats all a lot of peeps seem to see these days on here its a little annoying.........after all this is a forum about flying BOP is it not.........lets try to get the discussions back onto this subject... :wink: :wink: :wink:

[HawkMan69UK]

i lost a farm a few years ago when my harris killed there goose and i was about five bloodey acres away i got there and they were trying to get her off with a broom cost me 600 acres and 20 quid for a goose :roll: :shock: could not make the same mistake wasent aloud back..dam shame it wasent her first kill cause it was bloody massive ......pheasant were nothing after that.. :lol: :wink:

[Wightwings]

pmsl.........had a mate who's FHH had a go at a swan...... :shock: it was an adrenalin rush me thinks though she veared off at the last minute and sat in a tree looking a little shocked.... :lol: :lol:

hawk man...now thats funny..n b4 you all get started again...it's what happens ...i'd defy anyone to say they've had a trouble free flying carreer!!
To coldzero...apologie accepted m8! i was training blue on the training groun! that is where he took his first free flight(away from civilisation but not totally)..I want a bird thats used to different things n situations...but the first flight has to be on familiar ground.Once he 'spotted' the aviery i do realise he would remember that ...''exciting'' moment and return as soon as he gets chance....he wont!!??
But as you can see ..everyone has an off day...or something unforseen happen to them.It's how you deal with/sort it that counts

HAWKMAN...i hope that Goose tasted good m8..LOL...gonna go find me some geese!!!
Now can we all skin up and be freinds!!???

[Mikey]

:weedman: :shock: :vom:

[Impster]

whats skin up mean :rolleyes: ! eny way my advise to the young man is to get that bird enterd as soon as pos as for it will give the bird more indapendence and decrease the chance of screeming ! even though the bird is pr there is still a high risk of it screeming , and we dont want that now do we :roll: get that bird some easy kills and you will be all the way ..........................

[Mikey]

I wish i could get these photos resized!!!HAWKMASTER...where are you!!

[The New Kid]

I was speaking to a bint at chatsworth... told my mother it'd take 6 months to have a bird flying free =op damn crazy lady

[Hawkmaster]

Mikey you want the pictures? Well here they are . . . . :wink:

[Mikey]

Cheers HM.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY BY THE WAY!

[Hawkmaster]

Cheers mate!

[Wightwings]

[Finnish]

That's the brother to my Male HH as well small world is'nt it. :wink:

[Wightwings]

[Moet]

no, had a good day actually, thanks.

put a sock in it, think you've got an atitude problem,

[HarrisHawk.1.]

now now ladies calm down
omg it was a mistake fine he will learn from it maybe next time
if the birds 20-30ft in the air it can see quite a few things he isnt that high how would he know it was there
anyhow its a budgie aviary wooooooooooooow!!!!!!!!!...
