Hooding your bird

[Tony James]

actually that was the advice i was given by a more experienced falconer who suggests I hood and tether the bird in the training stage. he does the same with his. thing is the bird has taken a greater dislike to it as he has warmed to me. i wanted to know what the experience of others was where a bird is responding to training but hates being hooded n the mews.

It sounds as though your hawk is not made to the hood and is well on the way to being hoodshy, and whilst it's quite legitimate, even advisable to keep a hawk hooded in the early stages, the hood is not a device to be used long term to avoid restlessness in the mews or whilst weathering.
There are exceptions to every rule, but it sounds to me as though you need some help in making your hawk to the hood first and foremost, as with every passing day things are likely to become more difficult.
I do apologise if I'm misunderstanding the situation, and wish you the best of luck in your efforts.

Tony.
