Hello Mate,

 

Went with MAC to fly the male harris today. fookin incredible. He soars up and up until he is a spec in the sky, then mac whistles, and he folds his wings in, and comes down like an excorset missile (I shit you not). I ducked coz I didnt think he was going to stop, then right at the last second, he slams on the brakes with his wings. Then when we were done, MAC takes the transportation box outta the car, opens the door, and the Hawk just comes down and jumps straight in. Un believable mate. what a Bird. :bow:

Hi Richard, just had a good and interesting chat with Mac on the phone, he told me you went with him to fly the bird and what an incredible bird it is, how jealous am i lol. Thats a lovely picture of the bird too. Great stuff. :)

Always good to talk on the phone Carl;) If you buy a bird and need any help with the training then feel free to give me a call.

Keep your eye on this link,there are lots of birds for sale and its updated everyday.

Yes mate definatly going to get one once i have moved, i will be in a more rural location then. And im more than certain i'll be going for a Harris, preferably a Female. I been looking at the Bird Mart site and supprised at the amount on there and at reasonable prices, my only decision is wheather to go for a young bird if i can still get one once i've moved or an older trained bird, but then you have the imprinting issue, but still very much excited about it :)

 

Have you had much chance flying your birds?

Go for a young bird and train it yourself if you need any help I am only a phone call away.

I fly mine every day Carl.

Ideally i would much prefere to get a youngster and train myself, Parent reard if i can still get one after i have moved in a month or so's time, if not then i would have to wait untill next year rather than rush in and buy any older bird. But when the time comes im sure i will be asking your advice.

You should be fine most clutches hatch in April and you should be looking at buying a bird at 12 weeks and over;)

Carl I have a new addition I will post pics today;)

What a handsome looking bird, certainly looks as though she means business look forward to hear how you get on with her and how aggressive these birds really are. How much bigger than the Harris will she be?
