Hello Paul I was jut reading a message a bout what is a beginner's bird it was saying that in germeny a Goshawk is a beginner's bird what is your opinion on this. I feel I am the kind of person that dose my home work when it comes to some think like Falconery and it is defineteley not some think I would rush but on the same hand I would like to start on a good foot regarding what I should start with.
Thank you

[Hawkmaster]

It is a tough one because it is possible. Forinstance my second bird was a male sparrowhawk and I was about eleven.

What is not said is where I was and who was there to support me.

So if you had experience constant SUPPORT and many other factors around you, most will be OK.

Other than that I believe a HH is a good bird to start with as it is easier than most others and this will allow you to grasp the weight control concept with more ease!

[The Egyptian]

Hello Daren hope all is well.
Darren in term's of speed, skill, and obediance what would come first the Harris or the Goss and for a begginer what would you recommend if it wasnt rushed and I spent the time to rely understand wieght and manning. thank's

[The Egyptian]

thank's alot for your advice.
? is it wrong to own a hawk and not hunt with the bird but give it the flying and fitnes it needs ?

[Hawkmaster]

Personally I believe it is as the Hawks role in life is to hunt. You try and imagine not doing yours in life? SEX :wink:

[OutFlying]

my bros like OF said plus if u just want to fly and keep it fit get a bengal eagle owl its nice



hawks and falcons bros their made to hunt and like hawkmaster said its not nice depriving yourself of sex is it :D

like that a hawk needs to hunt as a cat needs to excercise itself and better itself at hunting, people never understood why does a cat play with its food the mouse sometimes

when in fact it actually perfects its grappling and hunting technique

like a lion and tiger, birds of prey r hunters not for display or for pleasure only


all the best in what u do bros

WERE WOULD BE THE BEST PLACES 2 HUNT WITH HARRIS HAWK IF YOU LIVE IN BUILT UP AREAS OR DO ALL FALCONERS LOOK FOR PERMISSION 2 HUNT ?

[Wightwings]

ALWAYS seek permission to fly your birds over anyones property
