A new friend

Some of you may recall the loss of my harris hawk (frayer) about 4 weeks ago. Well I would just like to put a few photos up of my new companion. His name is Jo and he is a red tailed hawk , he’s 1year old but he’s been a bit of a naughty boy for his previous owner. So we have a bit of a hill to climb, but as he’s only a year old I am sure we will get to the top of the hill. We have only had him a week and Al ready he’s flying to my hand and getting comfortable. I was warend not to handle him as he’s quite aggressive, but we do seem to be getting some where . Patients is the name of the game

By brother in law had an American red tailed buzzard, she was good, but oh boy, she had attitude

Very much hope it works out for you both.

Thanks all . It’s probably going to be a bit of an up hill struggle, but I will get there in the end

Love going out with folks hunting Hare / rabbit etc .One time one bird got a bit over its pay grade and dove down for a couched up Sika Hind ! What a laugh Bird had that " no those are small and these are far away " Farther Ted Moment and put the breaks on fast !! Hind legged it , only 10-15 yards away from where i stood .
