Absolutely ridiculous question for you Macca but I got to ask.

 

Bird of prey poo, Is it like normal bird poo all sloppy or more like a ground animals and has more substance?

 

Dont know where the question came from just thought of it lol

 

So long as he doesn't poop on the zed

40 mins, i cant travel that far lol

Wow!

 

Gorgeous!

Mac, what do you do when you want to go away (on holiday for example)?

 

I was seriously thinking about a Harris hawk at one point but thought I'd be stuffed not being able to leave it. Birds of prey are a massive commitment, aren't they?

He doesn't go away mate, because of that. they are your life, and take most of it up, from what iv'e seen.

Yes they are but IMHO they are well worth it.Falconry is my life now and I dont think I could stop if I tried:o

I do know plenty of people with birds of prey that can look after them if I go on my hols.

really pleased your enjoying it Ian and the owl looks awesome mate...i would of loved and was almost there with getting into birds but ive settled myself into thinking i really dont have the time that they need to keep them healthy but ime still just amazed at the whole sport. With the winter upon us i look forward to some good "take down pics" mate;):D
