I think I will name her Veloci. Not sure of name yet, but when she sits she looks like a white velociraptor. She is a bit older now then these pictures. Just thought I would share them.

Ah I remember when my imprint coop looked like that, it seems like yesterday. Actually it was yesterday or maybe the day before ;) Good lookin' little bird. The toes and legs of your bird look thicker and more stout than mine so I'm more confident that I got a male. Are you gonna start hawkin' it at penning or try tame hack? It would be interesting to compare your's, mine, Mark's and others starting an imprint coop this year and see how they all compare and what we all do differently. ideaa
it'll be fun to compare notes. I have decided not to tame hack for saftey reasons. Too many wild house cats and redtails hanging around. Not to mention my HHs in chain link fences. I am going to hunt as soon as she is ready.Quote:

yes, I have a good idea. I plan to have her hunting at penning or before. I will waist no time. Will just see how far along she will be as she develops. I will post some newer pictures later.
Just saw this thread, Rick. Nice photos! Good luck with her!
Good looking gal! They do have some nice feet on them don't they? Thanks for sharing and I hope she works out great for you.
Great looking little bird you got there. Can't wait to read some hunting stories
Rick, really nice looking coops! Me thinks she is going to be a big girl by those feet! LOL Man I miss my coops! Might have to fix that next spring! ;)
What did you do with her?Quote:

All you guys are killing me with your eyas coops! I guess I'm gonna have to wait til this fall and trap me a passage coop.
still not sure of name yet. My daughter likes Velci. I still call her coops. She is average in size I guess. Stays around 470grms.

Nice pics...not exactly stressed out eh? ;)
Bird tipping anyone? toungeout
Nice pictures! Bird looks great!
Rick,
Send me a PM if you want some company when you start hunting. I wouldn't mind driving up for a day one weekend.
Were almost there. Should be car hawking this weekend. Setting up some car baggies today. She is still a little fat and not quite hard pinned. I will let you know when we really start wacking stuff.Quote:

I am not sure if she is relaxed or exhausted from dragging around the leashes... I mean jesses. Tame or broke down you make the call.toungeout
I learned how to break them down like my wife does me with a long leash on each leg.Quote:

Rick,
What are you using as baggies?
rick looking good you are going to be hunting real soon
We call her Velci, Because my Daughter thought she reminded her of a Velociraptor, so she just kind of inherited Velci. Kind of like Velci-raptor. Next pictures will be hunting pictures. Hopefully this weekend she will kill her first wild prey. I checked her tail and she is just about pinned. Not quite, but ready to hunt. She flew yesterday at 434 grms and I have been able to drop her .2 every day and so far have kept a good attitude.I wish I had the guts to of free hacked her, but I work and just too many other predators for me to chance it. Including my HH's in chain link pens. So I chickened out.
