Another great video, Dave! And although our Harris is nearing 2 yrs old and has hunted successfully for 2 seasons, I _knew_ I'd still learn from your tips with Henry! We don't often reward her when she flies from the ground to the glove during training, but we have done because I never really thought about it. Now I understand why that's rather avoided and won't do it any more. 👍
Another brilliant video, very informative as always, Henry is coming along nicely and its nice to see that he doesn't always need hand signals just incase you're out and don't have your other hand free for whatever reason
it looked to me that Mr. Freebird *always* has food on the glove...? just amazing how quickly Henry catches on... (Henry: "I'll just have a quick gander at the book, while I'm sitting here in the tree...ah, yes, *that's* the game!")
Possibly abiut the typical although mine have been quiet and that’s what I’ve always strived for as previously they were kept at home and tbh I don’t think it’s fair if you have neighbours close by . Once hunting well and often I’d expect a noisey one to get quiet met as you say and a lit quiter after twonir three years …

Nice one ! It’s from years of research me doing things wrong !
Good to see Henry doing well, he is lovely, I’m sure the children will love him too.
He is a cutie , so far so good just need more time
In schools to make sure he goes where he should but so far all good

Brilliant mate I’m planning on getting a young male next few months these vids are really helping 👍
Glad to hear it
Nice video Dave. He would made the perfect pest control bird. Want to part with him ? 😂. Thank again for sharing your experience with us.
He’s deffo a chilled out guy , he was flying in a school hall this week without drama…

Got to love a Harris 👍
He's gonna scare all the food off 🤣
Worse for me he’ll deafen the kids in school halls!
Harris Hawks are typically vocal in their 1st year and become progressively less vocal the more you fly and especially the more you hunt with them ?

I am blessed that my female Who as i said is a very late 23 bird does not make a sound.
Good to hear ; much better that way!
please where can i buy a bird of prey
If you need to ask that you’re at least a year of studying away from it all…
