Paul if i could find someone who know's the score with these highly strung bird's the price would not be high...but i would rather release him or shoot him than let him go to someone cluless..20k would not buy him if the person did not know the score with them..

Their are gunuine people out their. I don't agree with it my self with wild birds territory's etc and harsh winter etc it's not fair in my mind. Hope you find a good honest home for it.

lots of very good lads out their who work with them full time who would give him a safe good home. or some one who has had birds for 10 years and has now found him self bird less due to his last job commitments but is now looking for a new bird

Millet I am on a squirrel job tomorrow and the old fella that's giving me a hand is one of the top goshawk boys in the country if you want the bird sorted I could ask him for you .......

joking aside mate, a goshawks life in the wild is usually short lived even when 100% fit so imagine the chances of a 7 year old captive bred one, best to put all your effort into finding a committed individual to take him on

My Auld mucker makes real sence here 100%...........

I will take this to pm's folk's and thankyou all for making my mind up that was already 90% made up..

i dont fancy its chances of survival after 7 years of captivity and yes i know my gos hawks mate ive had two,find a good responsible home for it its the best way for the bird,and no mate im not after a gos ha ha

[Millet 4,497]

I would give him a 50/50 chance in the wild jjm as he has killed all kind's of different quarry but them odd's are not good enough for me..and i have two people lined up to have a chin wag with..

In my opinion, if the bird has hunted and caught plenty of game, it will probably do ok if it is released in a safe area away from shooters.

Remember, it won't have the handicap of having a falconer around, ie bells and hunting from a fist, etc.

It will quite happily sit in a tree and take out unsuspecting quarry, as long as there is quarry in that area.

Just my opinion.
