I've had many Red Tails like that and I just didn't touch them.I strongly believe in aggressive Hawks.When we trapped for red tails to hawk with I always kept the biggest bad ass birds.Filthy feet, frayed or a few broken feathers and especially with a crop.we always said the meaner the better. Your looking for a Killer not a pet.Get her killing pigeons right away at your feet from distances right after she comes to your fist once or twice.. Good luck.
