Looks too rigid to me. I prefer something with a bit more give to it.

rodentpro.com easy enough to google..........

I thought maybe it got so freaked out it maybe had a heart attack? I checked him out pretty well after he passed to check to see if maybe there was contact, but he doesn't have a scratch on him. It...

Well, I have an update. I had the gos out on the perch in the front yard today eating off the lure. Some people came walking by walking a dog. I didn't notice until too late that the dog wasn't...

He's already on one meal a day but its a whole quail on the lure and when he's done the remains are left with him in the chamber. I figured I'd give him a week or two before weight reduction.

The jumpbox is working well so far. He hardpenned and loves his lure. I haven't started reducing weight yet but he already has good lure response.

Advice regarding jump boxes for imprint goshawks?

No way they came from him. I won them at Danny Ertsgaards quail pluck and there is no way he'd get anything from anyone associated with Burt. He is a hated man in Oregon.

My bird eats all he...

Can't remember who, I won them.

Tied down during the day. When I get home I try to let him roam, as he is branching hard, as much as possible. I don't have the nerve to try hacking this close to downtown and in such a tightly...

Ok, drum roll..........We have a male. For the last week the bird has been floating between 25-26 ounces. Falkor is his name. It is Norse for "Guardian of the People."

It definately looks like a deser falcon. I say Saker.

Sorry, been busy. I'll try to upload some pics tonight. 34 days old and seems to have competely stopped growing at about 26 ounces. Everyone that has seen pics of the head has said female but the...

So far the only thing that has freaked my bird is the ceiling fan. It can be set on any speed and she's fine but if you turn it off she freaks right as its slowing down before it stops. Only when its...

My bird is at 25.6 ounces or 726 grams, seems weight gain has majorly slowed down. 26 days old today.

Just recently started feeding off of it.

Question to Barry, looking at mine are you still thinking female?

Here's pics from just now....

My hawk gained nothing in the last 24 hours because she didn't eat much yesterday after gaining 1.9 ounces in the previous 24 hours. I've been feeding ground pigeon mostly lately.

Interesting...

That is what mine will be. A male came out of the same nest as mine last year and flew at 18 ounces. The nest was up near the peak of the cascade mountain range very close to Mt. Hood.

Is this a NA bird or a euro?

Day 21 23.3 ounces or 660 grams. Big jump in the last 24 hours. 1.9 ounce gain 53 gram gain.

Something I have noticed with this bird. Her appetite has been much more erratic than my only other imprint. That was a female prairie falcon. She was hungry all the time and gained weight at a very...

Sorry Harry, she is 20 days old today. I'lll try to remember to put the age with the date.
