[Forest]

For over two years now I have been fascinated by all kinds of bird of prey - especially the Peregrine falcon and the Barn owl.

Unfortunately I live in a town so getting apprentice work (or even just helping out) in a bird of prey sanctuary or centre is pretty difficult as the nearest is over two hours away!

One of my friends used to have a Harris hawk but it escaped in the forest near her home when she was out hunting with it. She called up the forest centre and they said they would send a professional scouter out looking for her bird, but their attempts were unsuccessful and he has never been seen since.

Anyway, I digress. Basically I was just wondering if anyone owns any bird of prey and would like to share anything about them (habits, names, etc) or shares a love for bird of prey, has visited a centre. In a nutshell, this thread has been started to get a conversation about falconry/birds of prey going.


Whoa! That was much more than I intended to write! *shrugs* Oh well!
