Its a shame Mike as you don't see them about as much as you used to a good few years back, personally I would rather take one on and fly than a Harrishawk due to the way they crash in headlong into cover and when fit take on the most unbelevable long slips.

 

I had a Male red hanging off my face many moons ago, he was a male I had flown on a off for a few years and for no reason he returned to the glove as usual and the next thing I know he nailed me, I ended up with some buuterfly stitches under my bottom eyelid a nice hole under my chin and one through my bottom lip, when I arrived home the wife thought I had been scrapping or had a good kicking with blood everywhere .

 

He finally ended up in breeding enclosure with a nice female until I moved the pair on to a guy in scotland. trust me! going in with the pair when on eggs was a full battle dress occasion , full face crash helmet, leather jacket and a thick scarf round my neck! both birds would be hanging off me when I entered the aviary to ring chicks or pull eggs.

 

I hope you manage to find one! they're a lovely hardy bird

thanks jasper i flew a female imprint many moons ago with the mate who wants one again she was a good hawk but christ if you didn,t keep your wits about you she,d foot you in the nearest thing to her i think thats why he wants to try a parent reared even though i have,nt flown anything for a few years i still keep in touch with a few bfc members and mates who still fly but even they don,t know about any parent reared everyone seems to be imprinting these days but i,ll keep looking you never know something might turn up regards mike.

Hope you get some joy Mike finding one like you say most people are imprinting these days which is a shame.

 

Glad I wasn't the only one who had a Retail that wanted to take my face off . if I see or hear of anyone I'll contact you mate ASAP.
