bullx100% 681 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 By sounds of it she is seeing you as some sort of threat..how long have you had her ? I mate of mine has a Harris that is pr but is very aggressive towards strangers. Will scream and foot at them. Evern try lunge at them from her perch...as stated I'd put her in a seclud aviary feed her through a shoot and then when season started again get someone else to catch her up in her mews (so the first experience she has of you isn't chasing her about and grabbing her to fit new jesses) then start fresh. .....atb Quote Link to post
čica 4 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 i had her for 4 or 5 weeks,flown her on daily basis...even with dog..when i come in her mew she jumps towards me,like she cant wait to get on the glove...she does not seam afraid Quote Link to post

čica 4 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) no,she was feed outside on swing perch when not flying...she was normal with him..just a bit footy...but she mantels a lot all the time Edited March 11, 2015 by čica Quote Link to post
david901 165 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I knew a lad that had a female gos that nailed him on the side of the face. It turned out the bird was quite a bit under-weight and was obviously frustrated. A lot can come down to how you treat the hawk....things like not robbing kills off her. Helping her break in and also feed her tidbits while she is on a kill can help to strengthen the bond between man and hawk. There are so many little things that can make a difference. Its difficult to give any advice without seeing the hawk in a action as it were. You mention that she was a bit footy with her former owner. That is not good or normal behaviour. It usually means someone has upset her in some way. Good luck with her. Quote Link to post
čica 4 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 i let her have a full crop on every kill..i she hited my face when i flown her on 900g,afther that i raised her weight on 920-930,she had a bunny on 925.she never hited again..but i am always afraid Quote Link to post
