how do you drop the weight on your harris hawk

[dafydd23 7]

how can you fly it if you dont know how to bring its weight down or i missed something?

 

i maybe jumping to conclusions

 

so come on paint us the full picture

 

and ''the bird is fine i know what im doing''

 

give me a fecking break I think you have missed something i did not say i dont know how to drop the weight I asked to see how many daft c**ts used starvation and the answer is too many

 

 

your just looking for a argument , whats the point of all this why didnt you just say in the begining who stavres the bird to cut weight down , personaly i think u havent a clue what your doing or you havent got a bird and just looking for arguments

 

theres people out there wanting to learn falconry and want to now how to do these things and i got all the time in the world for them. then theres dicks like you richy who just want arguments

the bird is fine i know what am doing i have had the bird 2 years it is a female it flys at 1.9

 

Don't sound like a female Harris more like a half decent male!! if it is a small female knocked down to 1lb 9 then I feel sorry for it ....

 

stick a pic up Richy and lets have a look mate! one of its legs and feet would help tell a story on what sex it is...

[Guest richy]

richy can you put picture of harris up i dont know any one flying female at 1 . 9ozs

yes i will soon as i get blue tooth

[trappa 518]

Rich, im not having a go-honest.

What is the reason you think that the bird is overweight? is it unresponsive,simply larger than last season, have you felt her breastbone and she is fat-what?

Let us know what the crack is and we can do our best to help you.

ps, 1lb 9 is small for a female bud, not impossible but it is small. chances are its a male if it hasnt been dna tested.

Richy this is my MALE flying at 1lb 10oz he is a big lad ,your saying yours is a female flying at 1lb 9oz , what part of the country do live atb N/S

the bird is fine i know what am doing i have had the bird 2 years it is a female it flys at 1.9

thats no female mate its a male.

Probably the best way to get some weight off it is take all its equipment off and let it go and give it its freedom! I can't think of a better method when these birds fall into Hands of some seriouse Numpties with about as much experience I could could Write on my finger nail ...

 

Read some Books cover to cover! put them down and read them again! there's books even now I can remember totaly off by heart. I used to lay under the bed covers when I was a kid with a Torch reading Falconry books when I was supposed to be going to sleep for school in the morning but read them I would. get out with a few falconers who KNOW what they're doing and pick up some info, perhaps even a Falconry course wouldn't go a miss with a respected Falconer although I must admit I never did this! Do all all your Homework on weight management and conditioning and then get a bird....

 

I have sat back time and time again and read and heard of birds being taken up by 100% total f*****g arsehole with NO Knowledge of the game whatsoever, they get the bird then spend the rest of their time cadging info when they have no idea even how to handle a bird which in my books is shite! All the Knowledge should be learned way before any bird is taken up for flying, its the birds I feel sorry for being Hammered down in weight and poor management, certainly not the so called Falconers....

 

Being pissed about it is a understatement! not with the people who ask the questions before they get the bird but the one's who buy one and litterally have no idea whatsoever

 

Jasper

and the answer is ?

the answer is if ye dont know then ye shouldnt have a bird.
