  1. aye so i hear, i best get my 'working head' on ha ha really am looking forward to it as both me n the missus have waited a couple of years to get started with falconry and hopefully with the 'few' folks around our area we should be ok. will start a thread soon showing progress from start of mews build to getting bird etc.
  2. Yea i understand and appreciate that, must be very frustrating for seasoned falconers but i think some of his comments are way too negative towards folks! might be just me but that's they way i see it! I'll be getting my bird in a couple months and hopefully be able to put a thread on here following my and it's progress, hopefully folks will be more positive than negative with their comments! cheers anyway happy hunting people
  3. i've just done a day course mate, was very informative but i would also suggest books etc and ask on here if anyone locally to you is willing to help you, should be some courses nearby if you look online mate, good luck!
  4. firstly, i aint some twat that just takes up something for fashion (as for others i can't comment), i take things seriously before i commit to them otherwise i'd be a fool, secondly i paid what i paid because i wanted to enjoy a day learning (and i did learn) about birds of prey (yes a weeks course would be better but hey ho) thirdly i live in the countryside (19 years now) and feel i could offer a good life to a bird of prey) as for asking on the net, why not? is it not best to ask first? yea some folks might get the bird first and maybe some do sell cos of other commitments,not me!! as for b
  5. i was gonna suggest you mate, i could even collect it for him save him a long journey, then he could collect from me (north of ripon)
  6. tried one a few years ago, seemed to help but as for working 100% i wouldn't like to say, some cats don't seem too bothered where as others do! if all else fails you'll have to 'persuade' it off
  7. there was a couple on here last week mate http://www.preloved.co.uk/fuseaction-adverts.listadverts/sec-Home+and+Family/cat-Pets+and+Livestock/subcat-Birds/keyword-harris+hawk/startrow-1/maxrows-20/4a5cd2d5.html
  8. how come all the books ive read and all the falconers i have spoke to which is about a dozen or so say a HH is the best bird for a beginner then? are they wrong or is it just that too many folks are trying to get in to falconry that you seem to post negative comments? i was told a HH is definately the best 'first bird' as they have the best temperament to learn with i mean i'm probably wrong as i'm just setting out in falconry but if those that know suggest something surely it's sound advice!!
  9. WELL WE DID OUR COURSE TODAY, GOTTA SAY THE STAFF THERE WERE VERY GOOD AND TO TOP IT OFF THE GUY THAT WORKS THERE SAID HE LIVES IN RIPON AND I CAN GO OUT WITH HIM AND HIS MATE WHEN THEY TAKE THEIR HH's OUT, TOP DAY! good stuff did you learn much from it ??? yes mate was quite informative although the real learning will begin when i get the bird! was great to handle all the different birds though, especially enjoyed the hh's, kestrel and eagles (was funny when the kestrel decided to leave my fist just as it landed to feed and chase a pigeon ha ha) not done much this weekend billy
