Guest foxyforce1 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Thats the first manning session done, sat on the fist after about five minutes wings open having the odd scream at me, calmed down after a bit though gave the chick a few hungry glances but didnt feed after an hour so hes back in the weathering, hopefully feed tommorow!! cheers guys Quote Link to post

Guest foxyforce1 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 this thing isnt leting me add pictures for some reason...ill work on it. Quote Link to post
Guest foxyforce1 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Sat on the fist today a bit calmer, still didnt feed though, maybe dangle a morsel in front of his beek tommorow to get the taste buds going! Quote Link to post
Guest foxyforce1 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Hes leting me put the food on the glove at his feet fine, seems quite calm and he is showing an interest in it but just not eating yet, think i read in one of my books that if they havent fed after a couple of days dangling a piece off food at the beek is supposed to encourage feeding as it supposedly reminds the hawk of geting fed by the parents, ill stick with just biding my time like you say just now, cheers for the advice.
