jasper65 6 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 how big is a red tail is it athe same size has a buzzard cant belive it twated a fox either that bird is as big as an eagle or that fox is one of them english poofy ones Its not all about size! its if the bird has the balls to do it, Most trained Spars will latch onto things alot bigger than themselves, I had a female attache itself to a cock pheasant walking throw some Gorze, it only let go after being dragged through some brambles, its surpriseing what a confident bird will take on sometimes. A Redtail is a handfull compared to a Common buzzard, Bigger feet more weight and aggresion with a capital A is some of the advantages they have over a common Buzzard, They're a cracking bird when you get them fit ........ ive also got a cockerel who takes small rats iknow but its more realistic than a red tail takeing fox Yep I don't doubt it!! but then again I saw large cockerel taken out by a small Peregrine Hybrid weighing less than quarter its weight :whistle:........
