Thread: Hawk

Is that a Perigrine? Nice looking little bird. Would love to try falconry, but never figured I could live up to the responsibility.

You lucky bugga, share some more details ..... how much, where abouts etc
Is anything like this avaiable in Aust.

Well for a day out, you can't get much better (if you like birds that is)

I did this near Vancouver and it cost about 100 buck for a few hours, you get to handle heaps of different birds! For me it was an egale (Russian Step) a Harris Hawk (most forgiving hunting hawk... ie doesn't tend to fly off all the time, easier to train) and a gyr-x flacon. Also a barn owl, amazing, silent flight!

No there is nothing like this in Australia, keping birds of prey is Illegal .
It's Australias way of protecting them. (don't touch em and she'll be right)
Where as in the UK that have active breading programs for birds of pray.






If you ever vist the UK, US, Canada, The UAE and you have some spare time. look this up, a great experiance.

Iam so envious Steven. It has been one of my lifes ambitions to handle those birds. Whenever Iam onh the road And see hawks or eagles just stop and watch with amazment.
