youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Get a mentor best advice there is, read through other threads there was a few a couple of weeks back, spend a season with a falconer before you buy a bird its alot harder than you will think it is, then get a bird, good luck Edited July 12, 2013 by youcanthide...BANG Quote Link to post

arcticgun 4,548 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 books mate read some books amazes me how many people go on forums saying they want to get into falconry etc however they simply forget to read up as bit first , Understanding the Birds of Prey By Nick Fox and Falconry and Hawking By Phillip Glasier are the two best imho, Quote Link to post

No book is better than a good mentor so try your hardest to get one, maybe volunteer at a falconry centre if theres one near you and you have the time Quote Link to post
