Not the ideal choice mate....

As Millet suggested,.you would be far better served with a Harris Hawk...

A kestrel is a small bird mate and only the real dedicated or experienced falconer's can fly one without loosing it or killing it..

I myself have had only one full season hunting hawk's but i have had a bit of experience out in the field and other stuff prior to flying my own bird..

And what i have learned is a kestrel is a small bird and i slight mishap in weight control will kill it.. you would be much better sticking to a harris..
