Guest falconeru.k01 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Thats one bird I wouldn't want to see frustrated. Its a case of getting in showing no fear even im shitting it rearly, I throw bit of food away & normaly will come of the kill, she never foots me just pecks sometimes its just a eagle thing. She reminds me of the misses moody cow!! Quote Link to post
Guest falconeru.k01 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 If that's the female steppe im thinking about ive been out with that bird a few time's flying it at baggies to get it started..Millet Hi millet her old owner lives in south yorkshire Quote Link to post
Guest falconeru.k01 Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 she was brought from a centre that didnt take best of care from her & my friend brought her, As for around your face this seems to be case in vultures & eagles , A friend who,s more of expert in eagles think some body, robbed her of food at sometime. I have seen few behave like this & our male steppe can some times behave simular. She,s no problem just give her that little more respect. Quote Link to post
Guest falconeru.k01 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 She,s doing well now on the wing its just the bare hand thing . I can live with that is the ones that just sit in a tree making you look a prat in a Demo. Thanks Millet keep u posted. Quote Link to post

Guest falconeru.k01 Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 These are more difficult to get hunting as they feed of carrion but capable of rabbit etc . My male steppes had no intrest in hunting but this female is looking promising.she has taken the odd rabbit . Quote Link to post
