Hi Dave realy looking forward to future episode just wondering if you could do one on how to get ur hawk hunting at game as I’m sure other people or struggling with this also mine is great on a carcass but when it comes to flying at live game he flys at them but then is pulling away at last minute I have flew him at height in weight an lower in weight with no success I have a redtail any help giving would be much appreciated thanks an keep up the good work 👍

Make sure he’s very committed to grabbing a dragged carcass not a lure and let him feed well on them for confidence . Isually after that a hawk that just follows needs a tiny bit off to commit , hh especially . But without knowing the bird saying to take a bit of weight off is always risky . It will be covered as we go along in the episodes

Very welcome I know its a different breed but I learn all the other stuff that you also share so thank you! I have no mentor so just taking it easy trying what I watch.thing is I can't get him to stay on the fist? I don't use a hood,I did try but broke his trust for a week,well that's how long it tak3n him to come to me again ,.so I just sacked the 8weeks and started all over again,after a week I was good.but now I'm to scared to try the hood again.any ideas? Tom.

if you have a working line german shepherd , is it compatible for falconry with harris hawk ? ( i know GSD is not a hunting dog , but still if they got high drive they can excell in things )

@falconry.davesharpenatureboy 10 күн бұрын

Yes I think so but sadly very few folk have kept and bred good lines of hh, most just breed two with little thought to anything

Funny, the thing about taking the hawk too early... We have had many cats in our lives, and cats taken from mom-cat to soon really have this imprint "confusion", and will have those "cute" sucking and kneading behaviours *forever*, and it's not so cute when they puncture your leather shoes, or get saliva all over a visitor's coat. Having seen about a million videos on Harris's Hawks, they look to be much more driven by a social nature than most birds, except, possibly, corvids, so they really need to get past the "I need my mother all the time" phase, and become open to forming relationships outside the parents, and outside the species/genus... From Dave's waffling on about Harris's, they seem to offer a real "partnership", almost "friend" ; is that too far to say, or is even "family" possible with these guys? But, as a long-lived animal, and as social as they are, maybe it's akin to "solitary confinement" to work with them, socialize with them, then just leave them in a mews for ages, while you take a holiday, or business trip, or figure you need a break from your hawk... Sorry to blather on, but I've been developing quite the interest in, and respect form Hariss's! Their intelligence and social nature seem to make them rather unique amongst raptors, and maybe one needs to recognise that they might be, not just your "beginner bird", but a really solid part of your falconry life? Sorry folks, I seem to be gettiing "imprinted" 🙀
