No it's not Roy who's going to mentor me but a mate of his. He flys with Roy quite a bit and says we will be out with the goldies once I've learnt the ropes.

 

My head is baffled with taking on the basics at the moment. Mews, weathering, tethering. I don't know where to start! Haha.

I didn't know you were on here Martin! Can't wait to get out with you. Like I said to you earlier I'm just trying to find the balance between learning the basics off the net and taking in too much rubbish that is worthless. I don't want to come to you having picked up wrong information. But equally I can't help myself searching for stuff :laugh:

Oh right, you will love every minute of it, falconry is an addiction, best bit of advice anybody can give is dont rush, your in a great position being able to see if falconry is for you without having to trial it out yourself, enjoy it and ask as many questions as possible lol

 

Your both lucky gits to be able to go see goldies fly ha, its on my to do list

Do you fly a goldie yourself mate?

lol I know what you meen mate, just do some research and you will notice that different people do things differently. The base line is pretty much the same from them all its the finished result that differes depending on what you want out of your bird or how you want your set up to look and include.

 

I havnt been on here since I stopped with the dogs years ago, the falconry section wasn't much back then so thaught id come back and have a look if its changed much.

Cheers pal. I'm certainly not rushing. I plan to spend a full season with Martin and learn everything I can (if he doesn't get fed up of me :laugh:)

 

Then if I feel ready I will look at setting up myself.
