mate they sleep on perches u can tether them on a bow perch or if its trained and as long as its safe enuff to let them loose u get some perches made across from one side of the mews to the other and u can cover it with astroturf, they dont sleep on beds like us :D

I may appear rude but please go and do your basic research into the subject of keeping hawks - your level of questions (to say your ready) is way too low for someone ready for a hawk.

Read a book, then ask questions raise from reading it.

[FlameHairedFalconer]

Perhaps you are referring to heating in a mews? Harris hawks can suffer from frost bite and wing tip odema in very cold weather if they are tethered close to the ground. However if they are in an aviary with perches high up they should not suffer from these problems.

[World.Hunters]

sorry for the simple questions but i have read about these but would like second and third apinions

[OutFlying]

In which book did it refer to "nest materials" for a hawks sleeping quarters or feeding live mice - I feel you haven't read a quality book on the subject.

[World.Hunters]

i never sed that these books refered to these subjects i was just wondering as i have heard about such things in the past and it is best to know as much as possible b4 getting my bird

[Kanati]

have you been on a course...? if not WHEN are you going on one? Do you have someone close who can help you with our first bird?

youcome across like you need to get help and or lessons

[World.Hunters]

i am just asking a few question that i need second apinions on i know a few people who may help
how much are lessons and are they very useful

[Pogue Mahone]

fill ya aivary with budgies and save a hawk:supz:

[HunterPaul]

im going to top myself and nobody better try to stop me.....

[Addi]

with regards to sleeping areas i like to offer my harris hawks a double devan and a single in the corner of the aviary, they seem to prefer a bob the builder quilt cover but im sure a barbie one will do if its a female ur getting. make sure it is a good tog rating in the winter, needs to keep them warm! then replace for a thin sheet during the summer. A night light is also a good thing to add, just make sure the bird can reach the switch so it dsnt have to get out of bed to turn the lights off.

If you are keeping a breeding pair make sure you have both a single AND a double, that way if they have an argumentthe male can go sleep in the single bed.

[Talon]

i know its makes ppl mad when that here a newbie .
asking such basice questions. and in the same breath say ive got all my falconry equipment.and will be getting a bird soon.
its easy too take the ****.out of them (me included )
but we should be giving them the advice they need.
as there going to get the bird any way.and only the
bird will suffer.so please newbies read a couple of books atleast and get your
selfs on a reputable course.and if possible get out with a falconer and learn as much as you can.
then when you ask questions.you will under stand what is being said to you.
i suppose coming on this forum is a nother step in the right direction.
to learn but you need to at least have a basice understanding.
of falconry.

[World.Hunters]

thx for the replies good and bad i know there basic but i am just asking what i am unsure about as i have been told alot of different things

i need to ask a fu*king question to get an answer

thax to the people that have helped me so far but i just want to be 110% sure about what im doing b4 i get the bird and that can not be a bad thing surley

[FlameHairedFalconer]

I hate to point out the obvious EHS - but this it is a public forum and therefore you are likely to get considerably more 'different opinions'. I suggest you either find a mentor and use his/her methods until you have enough experience to understand the choices on offer.

Jim give him a break your like the forum Rottweiler'help the lad out' was you born with a hawk on yer wrist Jim

FLY THEM HARD DONT TREAT THEM HARD JIMBO!!!!

YOU PUT ME OFF THIS FORUM MATE'DONT PUT THREAD'S NO MORE IL'E WAIT TILL IV'E BEEN AT IT FOR TEN YEAR'S AND THEN THER WILL BE F... ALL 2 POST ABOUT ;)

[OutFlying]

Help the lad out - gladly. Spoon feed newbies who can't be arsed to do the basics - NOT A CHANCE.

If a few replies are not to your liking but factual correct are enough to put you off the sport - Then your not keen enough and then my posts have served their purpose in putting off someone not suitable for falconry.


You yourself are a prime example of someone who wasn't ready, but got the hawk anyway. First get the basics right. then go out with someone with a hawk, get some NEARBY land, learn some fieldcraft - THEN GET A HAWK. Don't take shortcuts, it will end in tears.

I take a great deal of pride in the sport of falconry and realise the hard work and effort it takes to do it correctly, it then ****es me off when someone can't be bothered other than typing a few questions who then thinks he's ready.
Yours Jim.

I had 2 post a thread on this subject as I feel the way you have taken the **** is out of order' beleave me Im'e up for a joke at the beat of times but atleast if you have a joke finish it with some decent advice for the lad reley are you all Falconry expert's is this a sport just for the quik learner's if so maybe they should put that in some of the basic book's for all us beginers.

Since OUT FLYING chewed me up and spat me out iv'e chose not 2 bother with thread's but I read them every day and I had 2 put my point across so no offence.

I would like 2 thank HP and JUZZER who straight away helped me out and saved me and my bird alot of trouble with there advice and guidence so thank's alot 2 you both.

Jim been intouch with HP and Juzzer constantly guided me through it all so guess what your wrong Jim' take it on the chin it happens 2 us ALL so I suppose im'e a prime example of some 1 who dosnt want 2 waste time arguing with you so I decided 2 speak with Falconers who were willing 2 brush aside ther arrogance and help me out regardless if I rushed or not' it's the bird's wellfair after all but you dont seem arsed' maybe 1 day Il'e be able 2 FLY THEM HARD

[OutFlying]

Which bit is taking the **** ?

I posted sound advice not an ego massage for yourself. You posted before your nearest hunting land is 50 + miles away, I stated it wasn't practical and that you weren't ready for a hawk - sorry I didn't post anything of use to yourself or maybe you couldn't intrepet or read between the lines of my posts.

If you don't like the replies, don't read them - its simple.

Jim.

How do you know I haven't help newbies out in the sport ? answer you don't. I'm willing to help anyone out WHO IS WILLING TO LEARN but they must make the effort too, I've helped plenty. Just because someone has already bought a hawk before they are ready ain't my problem its yours, the welfare of your harris has got nothing to do with me its your responsibilty and if you weren't ready then its your own fault.

[Mick]

at the end of the day the lad is asking questions before he gets his hawk what would ya rather he did get the hawk first then ask questions later ?
ok there simple questions but if he wants to make sure he doing things right whats wrong with that ?

[Horus]

Hi EHS Like you I am a newbie a complete beginner. I would love to have my own bird but I am nowhere near ready in experience to get one. Please listen to the sensible advice being offered and get some experience before you buy a bird. There is so much to falconry and the care of bop. Don't take any notice of the slanging just hold in there. I am sure someone will come to your aid. They really are quite a nice bunch on here really. I have already had a lot of help and I have only been on the forum since October.

Good Luck!!:) :)

[Moses]

thx alot moses :supz:
