If the animal doesn’t prove to be a threat to them and it is something they see day to day they usually end up completely ignoring such things!

Our hunting hawks get rested and fattened up from March til around September and our display birds continue flying

Freebird of reason Oddly, on our video five reasons not to get a Harris, one of the facts was going to be that many harris’ hawks will be vocal (not ideal if you have neighbours). They’re a social species and can become noisy for many reasons, the biggest key to preventing it is lots of hunting ASAP (allowing it to catch its own food rather than its new “parent”. This is why good land packed with quarry is key to any Falconry.

@@TerraHistoria6 oh yes I remember now . I will get him hunting soon he has caught pigeon. Thanks for your advice

Yes, if you’re flying the bird it’s always better if it’s cast from the previous days food, however yes it can eat before it’s cast and yes they do do so in the wild!

@@TerraHistoria6 thank for the info.

Personally I’d fly a red tail there over a HH, I think in the right housing they can cope down to minus 10 but below that I think you’re better off with a more cold tolerant species

@@TerraHistoria6 thats what I've been flying the last couple years, but snow shoe hare are getting harder to find was thinking of going a bit more birdie. Am contemplating a passage gos, but I am a bit more social in my falconry. That's why I'm doing some HH research. Even thinking passage gyr, but those are a lottery draw for trapping permits. Just keeping doors open at the moment.
