My new hunting bird has hatched but it’s a secret species! Quick catch up on the falconer gathering plus a baby peregrine too! Oh and some new kit to try!
Glad things are going well, Dave! Love your enthusiasm 🙂 I'm looking especially forward to the "hooding a hood-shy bird," as we missed the best window to start hooding our HH by a mile, but just yesterday her own hood arrived. We'd borrowed a hood for the 3 times we've needed it so far, which at least helped us decide the best size for her. She typically doesn't need a hood but we want her to accept it when it is needed. Cheers!
Best of luck with the new addition. Looking forwards to finding out more details. If all goes well i will be flying a male gos this year. He is a month old at moment and looking pretty good if i say so myself 😅
Hi Dave, the only thing stopping me attending the gathering is the no dogs policy, I respect your decision but I think you’d have a better turn out if they were allowed to walk round on a short leash. Wishing you all the best with your soon to be new acquisition.
Thanks for that as an owner of several Dogs I understand , sadly as an Owner of two animal related business sadly I can tell you it would be chaos and the risk of losing a bird here is high , ontop of that the centre birds don’t see strange dogs and they frighten some of them , added to that all the folk that can’t pick up litter or dog poo or abide by the on lead rule is shocking sadly
Hehehe what are you like ?! Hehe! No like reptiles , Guinea pigs, cats and dogs etc etc , here in the uk as much of the world we breed them in captivity for generations now .
Best of wishes for your new family member Dave!

was not expecting anything I have just seen.
I hope that’s a good thing hehe
@@falconry.davesharpenatureboy The camera kit, the chick, the species I didn't know existed. actually sort of blew my mind a little with this one.
How did he obtain the egg? was it stollen from a nest?
