is she new to you? if so....why have you got an 8 year old bird? Not having a go.....just that the answer might help with the problem.

no the more help the better

well i got her down to 2lb 8 oz but she started to wobble on my glove so I've got her wait back up too 2lb 12 oz now

she will jump 5 paces every time for food

me and my mate who has two goss hawks has been thinking she may be a male for the last week or so

i rang the bloke who i brought her of and hes told me he used to fly her about 10 to 20 yard for kills witch seams very hard to believe

so i told him he was a dick and put the phone down on him

Ive had her for 1 month now

i paid £300 for her

the bloke who i got her from had 1 wooden tree stump and 1 home mad bow perch he seamed like he was on the Dole coz he never had a lot

I'm try to incress the dissance each day to c if this helps

and i leave her in her avery alday as this seams to make her more active and keener when she comes out

not sure whyy ou think you cant find time to man a youngster if you have time for an adult maybe the problem is you dont have either?

Some females are not that big. My old redtail used to fly at around 2lb 6oz. She was diffinately female.

Its hard to give any advice over a forum as you can't see the hawk in the flesh. You would be better off seeking out the help from someone more experienced who can actually handle the bird and see if she is overweight or if there is another underlying problem.

 

It is better to get the hawk to come instantly over a short distance than for her to take her own sweet time at a longer distance. Its also better to call her for a large reward a couple of times than to call her lots of times for small tidbits.For what its worth, i would advise to never try and rob her of food when on the fist or she may take offence. Good luck with her.

 

Just my opinion.

hi there stev

 

yes mate ive been flying her in the dark for two weeks now and her keel is that well she flew at me with no lamp and hit me in the face with no food or lamp

it was well mad coz i was cheering in my head but the side of my face had a scrach on it but it never bothered me coz shes there now

and its all was down to me asking to much of her n not letting her settle in and not having a nuff food, for reward i.e going of whot i used too feed my hariss hawk and reading in to books to much ha ha

I OWE DAVE ON HERE A LOT coz with out him i would be still where i was too start with

i can never thank DAVID enough

 

as for flying in the dark start by letting him feed on his pircht then too ur glove and move a little by little away each time till he trusts you ,,, give it aweek n he will be flying like in the day ha ha

p.s use a bright coz it will help loads

if you need any more on this give me a shout and ill be glad to help

good luck lez
