jsb 6 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 anyone know where to buy some cheap but good quality astroturf for harris hawks' thanks in advance for any replies Quote Link to post
waidmann 105 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Some of the falconry suppliers sell it, I have used the door mat stuff before too ( some don't like it, I find it keeps my birds feet in good nick). Game hawker would be a good bet to buy some in the midlands. Waidmannsheil!!! Quote Link to post
KenKeeping 13 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 It seems that a lot of the garden centres are selling it lately! Not cheap though! We have a Turf suppiers down bridgend way that sell Astro as well. They fit the stadiums out. Quote Link to post

grovsey 74 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 you dont want the short soft stuff though ! Quote Link to post
KenKeeping 13 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 People mention Astro turf sometimes as though its all the same dont they! Is there a right type and a wrong type? And a deffinate NoNo type! Quote Link to post
grovsey 74 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 alot of people dont even know what its ment to do,u want the long stiff stuff this helps stimulate the birds and make it more realistic and natural for the foot and to stop it getting bumble foot, you dont want the stuff from green grocers and the like of football pitches as its more like a carpet , Quote Link to post
