Garypco 3 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 The fact that your here and asking says you are the kind that will do the right things and responsively mate... well done for that.. have a look at $%^&*&^%$£$%^&*( it has a lot more members in your area practising falconry,good luck with finding someone mate!

Davy T 3 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hi ...why not join the bfc ....it will cost you a lot less than goin to blairdrummond...also you will probably get a mentor to teach you ...i joined the bfc a few years ago but ended up goin it alone...however saying that i had a mentor for the first year and they will help you get yourself sorted with a bird etc etc Quote Link to post
