jasper65 6 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 sad news for you mate . if I have a HH on a bow I always double loop knot them them now... had one in a enclosed weathering just about pull a knot undone after it pulled the ring up to its feet and kept ripping it, definite crafty birds which seem to have a little more grey matter than most Hawks .......

craggrat 0 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Sorry to hear that news, it's gutting loosing birds like that. Same think happened to a mate of mine. Female got loose and killed male. Females in the spring will play with there leash or sticks near there perch. I had a female that I worked thro the moult and she would nest build next to the perch. Pulling and playing with her leash. If your after another Harris I've got two females, they where 16 weeks old on 1st December. Quote Link to post

Lee C 55 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Sorry to hear you have made this decision. I have had a few bad times when I have thought that's it. But it has been a part of life and I don't know what I would do with out it. I had to make the decision bike or bird so the gsxr1000 had to go, gutted. I hope you still have something to get you out into the fresh air because you will miss it. I think what I am trying to say is don't be to hasty. All the best in what ever you decide.
