Releasing A Hawk

Proberly is to much of a risk it's 7 years old that's good going If it were wild I think their are to many maybes to justify it but that's my opinion.

I understand what you mean. But having listened to some of the half-wits that falconry seems to attract, I wonder if the bird wouldn't be better off taking its chances in the wild.

A few years ago it would have been relatively easy to find a breeding home [still not without risk for a male gos], but as the market is saturated already, there is not the same demand.

When it was common to take passage birds, the solution would have been easy - return the bird back to the wild.

Their are loads of half wits in falconry because it's easy to get a bird and Harris hawks are not hard to get hunting to a degree the gos market is going the way of the Harris you can pick a female Finnish gos up for 6-700 quid couple of seasons ago they were 2 grand but millet isn't the sort of guy to fob his bird off to the nearest numbpty he's put 7 yrs hard work into it
