Hi Everyone and Anyone!!
I am a farmer if Kent in the Uk.My son took up Falconry Two years ago and has a Harris Hawk and Perigrine Falcon.
My main reason for being on this forum is to gather information if posible. I am going to Egypt this winter and will be working in the Delta region. My work is invlolved with Strawberry production..........I can hear you sayiong,,,`so what do Strawberries and Falconry have in common`? Well they have a big problem with birds eating their fruit!!!! I thought that a Falcon in the air would be a good deterent.......the problem is that in Egypt there do not seem to be many falconers....they mostly reside in the Emirates or Saudi and they are more interested in VERY expensive birds for Hunting etc.
So my question to everybody is.......do you have ANY contacts in Egypt with Trainers....breeders or locals who do it as a hobby????
Any contacts would be appreciated,
Thanks,
John
