if her tail feathers are growing just leave her to finnish the moult till september if shes agressive and the tails still growing it can cause stress marks if you try and man her and become weak a bit risky flying now i think lot of nests with chicks in if she finds one and crops up you may not get her back but if you are gonna fly her just fly her from the fist were you from mate good luck in what you decide

dont know him mate am from liverpool thats the best idea letting her moult out if shes missed her last one and start fresh youll get some bits off ebay and the falconry forum mate good luck for next season

[coney clucky 93]

thanks mate for advice and hope you have a goodin next season

yeah if shes throwing feathers i would just feed her up and let her moult out till next season. give her some rabbit heads to pick at,it helps to keep her beak down.

heres mine in the aviary to moult

try westweald falconry for some new gear.
