hawk1 0 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 are they easy rared and trained?? never trained a kestral yet ive trained harris ,redtail,and barn owls .. the basics are all the same only weight control there is a big difference there say for talk sake you have a redtail you have a bit of room for error maybe an ounce or so but with a kestral you are down to grams very easy to take into low condition . im no expert still learning everyday if im wrong im sure someone will correct me .......
