Team work pays off

It has now been a month and a half since Glen flew free for the first time, and today he worked together with a older female Harris Hawk to catch a pheasant.


Glen flew forward past the pheasant (possibly unknown to him), and caused it to move directly in to the path of the other waiting Hawk! She then pounced down on to the pheasant, and both Glen and Lady (the name of the other Hawk) shared a good meal.


He's still got a lot to learn before I think he will get his first catch.

Update

Glen's doing realy well, he's chasing most things that move, sticks, pigeons, a pheasant or two. But still not caught anything yet. He did find a dead rabbit but it was at least 4 days dead. 

And a new pic of him out and about. 

 

Sleepy hawk

Just went in to put the outside shutter on Glens aviary and found him fast asleep.
