Thank you, indeed... it's fun to watch him grow.Happy birthday Tatzu! Is it second birthday already?
Thank you so much!I love your photos of them flying. I so wish I could have done this.
I would if I could. Unfortunately I am disabled. I have no balance (nerve damage both legs/feet), can't stand more than a few minutes. Also JaKhu refuses to fly. Stinker. She was already heavily clipped at 4 months when I got her. Her balance was terrible & she feared falling. She'd step-up, give me the death grip & also grab on (my skin) with her beak. I've tried several times to fly her a short distance across the room, but she won't let go of me. I tried tossing her & she drops to the floor. She is soon to be 4 years old & has yet to fly & still fears falling. I'm in central PA where we have a gazillion trees & power lines, as well as many hawks. Not the best for outside flight training.Thank you so much!
You can still flight train adults for outdoors...Tatzu was over a year when I trained him and my GW and B&G in Illinois/NYC were trained at 7 and 15 respectively. My Capri is 4 and other GW is 11 and I'll be starting on one of them this summer/fall as well... it is trickier with the adults but certainly doable.
Absolutely no worries if not though! Just wanted to offer encouragement/but never feel bad or have any regrets.
I live in western PA and yes, hawks galore. Im afraid for my cat when its outside.I would if I could. Unfortunately I am disabled.
