youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 at thoresby game fair a bloke was flying 2 harris hawks. the female called maggie was 29 years old and was still flying great and was the first to the lure compared to the younger harris. this is the team that does the display but it must need updating as it says the bird is 26. but as it shows she is still used for hawk walks. the latest update is the pictures from that day at thoresby http://www.hawkeyefalconry.co.uk/news.php Quote Link to post
