supersam 64 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 not sure if this is the right place to post this as im new to this but i am looking for a goshawk fresh from the aviary if possible but not sure where to start looking or what one to get as i think there are a few different ones, and does anyone know the pricing of such bird many thanks you should know there is no fresh out of the aviary birds at this time of year. have ya flown a bird of prey before? if not then ud advise get reading and if you can get out with someone who fly,s to gt some experience before ya decide on getting a bird. with different ones then yes there are big and small ones lol but all will take what a gos should take.

dom1305 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 id say better of wid a harris not a goss.. i started with a harris and still struggled abit at first but harris hawks are more forgiving when you make mistakes which will happen from time to time its all in the learning Gosses can be very tempremental i know many that have f.ked of when they feel frustrated or get very twitchy.. iv flown harris and lanner falcons but alway went back to the harris there brilliant. hope this helps Quote Link to post
j j m 6,555 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 you got that right the harris is the most forgiving bird ever for begginers Quote Link to post
