jasper65 6 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Hello WAF thats got to be the worse one I have seen. Feck the poor thing looks like it was kept in a budgie cage! any ideas who it was who had the bird as by the looks of it he's up for a good kicking . this country should run the same scheme as in the states where a apprenticeship needs to be taken for three years and passed, this shite hole of a country makes life hell for genuine Gun owners, but will allow any Mumpty to own a Hawk without any restrictions.

Fletcher 0 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Thats just sickening, I can't believe it. To Paul, I read quite a few books before I took up falconry, it was something I'd always wanted to do, when my circumstances were right it then took me more than a year to study falconry, build my mews, make and aquire equipment, and to do a course, anyway the book I found most helpful and made most sence to me was "Hawking and Falconry for Beginners" by Adrian Hallgarth, just my opinion, take your time and good luck.

Hello Tony I reckon they're best left up mate. its stuff like this that needs bringing out in the open to see whats going on, a good shocker like that hopefully will make peoples piss boil and shop any fuckwits keeping birds in the same circumstances. this sister female Pere to yours stood for me a couple of evenings ago! the trouble is she stood the day before a egg was due so that one was lost, I got some semen into her on the first oportunity from DC the lad who bred your tiercel, she stood shortly after laying so hopefully have caught that egg, these birds are doing some funny fecking things this year! people keep saying its the weather but feck knows mate, I know this much the next time I ring you I'll be in funny farm .
