    Nice one Dan.
    I work for a large pest contol company flying 2 Harris hawks mainly for gull control. The mixed sites that I work at is great. I go to pubs, airports football grounds, marina's etc anywhere you see gulls could possibly be a customer. Great for the hawks they have an incredibly varied day must be very stimulating for they. It's the best job, the birds seem to thrive on it. I have only been doing the job for 18 months but can easily say it's the best job I've ever had. I would say that if you want to get into pest control it would be best to work for one of the big boys that way you don't have to worry about getting the work for yourself so much, just go out every day and fly. what could be more fun for you and your hawks. 😊

      I did it full time for a couple of years and it just really showed me how much I love doing displays so now I just sub contract. But if your not into displays I can see how pest control can be an amazing career

    Hi Dan this video is exactly what I needed. Having done events with bird when I was a kid trying to make this into a job in the future was very difficult but I like the sound of pest control

    Great video Dan pest control sound like a good fit for me and I hope to open a falconry center here in the the Midwest USA that has the largest variety of birds in this part of the country I’m going to a falconry meet nest weekend I’m volunteering at two wildlife center that have a nice Barry’s of raptor species and taking a wildlife rehabilitation class next month attending a few falconry experiences in may during one of which I’ll get to lure fly a falcon. I enjoy watching your videos while I wait for the weather to warm up so I can be able to handle the birds.
