Oops, Should have been "...then why do you teach recall from a tree" Bart ... LOL, Bart, to call them out of the tree if they should happen to land there!!!...
I think this is the reason why so many people have problems with the concept of free flying. Once up in a tree they are on their own, you can't go up and do...
There is a risk of overfeeding a baby! Before starting the next feeding, make sure the crop is empty. During one feeding you can give as much as the bird can...
It surprises me always to hear a bird comes to you when under attack. It needs to slow down to land on you, and with a hawk on his tail this is lethal. I would...
Do whatever to make your bird comfortable and at ease. Even if it makes other people give you the "eye" I feel this is an underestimated factor in training...

Kim: Thanks for the great post. Can't wait to hear that Q is ready and has taken to "wing". You asked: "With respect to routines, does anyone else go through...
I agree Bart. I was pleasantly surprised he reacted the way he did (home, then "dad".) By the time he turned around and flew to me the hawk was long gone. ...
It feels a bit like swimming among sharks! I do have to say, though I would NEVER harm the hawk (it is HIS natural environment. Fargo is the "intruder") my ...
Thanks Ellen! Fargo's about the size of that Mourning dove. He's big for a conure, but looked so tiny next to that nearly crow-sized hawk! --Kevin ... ...
Hi Asaf! No point in re-clipping the wings. Feathers grow back one at a time. If he's got some good ones already, leave them there. His wings will fill in...
Cats have one bacteria in their saliva, called pasteurella, which is toxic to birds. If your bird is bitten or licked by a cat or has a habbit of sampling the...
The routine for going outside is quite simple. If one of the birds is on me I send them away, to their tree, perch, whatever... Then I ask them "Do you want to...
I agree, I'll try to proctect my birds but I won't kill a hawk to do so. Bart ... It feels a bit like swimming among sharks! I do have to say, though I would...
"...On windows, I've seen some neat decals that reflect only ultraviolet light. We don't see them, but birds do, and it makes windows visible to them." Hi...

Mine do high speed landings most of the time. I noticed it took Luna several months before he mastered these. These landings are very impressive, in the...
Thanks for straightening this out. I use a syringe when hand feeding, but without the crop needle. So I guess you can compare this with using a spoon, the...

The way you describe them, Bart I imagine the Greys are stunning to watch fly. Makes me wonder how many grey owners have any idea! I was thinking about the...

I am soo sorry to say this. As I agree the birds are in a Hawks natural territory. But, given a choice .. I think, and I LOVE raptors, but should one have...

I have always understood that the bacteria in OUR mouths are bad for birds. Yet I never stop kissing A &C. They both try to get my teeth out as well. I did a...
Hey Mr. Bart: After reading your post and Dean's reply I realized my post was poorly described. I do not use a serenge of any type .. rather I cook it up ......
Oh .. I see .. what you mean Kevin: No, I wouldn't revenge HUNT it .. I just meant if it was near and was after it .. I would kill it .. but no, I wouldn't go...
