All-
Very much appreciated. I guess I got the idea in my head from Paul Hofsommer’s video “Rose”. But I may have misheard or misinterpreted. In terms of different food choice and quality- McDermott has an interesting chapter in his book Accipitrine Behavioral Problems which speaks of a birds demeanor when feeding different “quality” foods. Again I may have misinterpreted his message- but sounded as if Rabbit lead to more aggression + weaker flights. Once I get the book back in front of me- I will reference the page #.

- Believe I will feed ½ rabbit ½ quail- and no carcass ever goes to waste.

Lastly – this chapter in McD’s book ABP- makes a mention of different specific diets requiring a subject bird to have the same hunting response at different weights. Ie. Rabbit allowed bird to be heavier, while quail required the bird to be sharper. Maybe has something to do with fat content in the food? I will provide a page # tonight.
