ok the only places that u need a lisence for a bird is in dabi or how ever u spell it and the united states everywhere else you can buy with no lisence at all , the thing with the uk is that many breeders wont go giving you somthing like a golden eagle without major experience lol . my m8s got 1 he payed 15 grand for... they are not cheep n i have flown it my self.... they are crazy n bate very often
@nosey15 the ferruginous lives naturally on open grass land and wide open plains, not in forest areas, so it naturally likes to land on level ground, its a large bird not really suited to trees
hi i live in the uk i love birds of prey and i am lucky enough to have land that i could fly a ferruginous hawk on but im new to this sport i have chosen a ferruginous hawk as my bird of choice because on my land theres many hares there are rabbits also and im worried a red tailed hawk could get hurt or damaged binding to a hare
any advice greatly recieved i have done a great deal of research and have noted that they are not really beginners birds any advice greatly appreciated.
A red-tailed hawk would be absolutely fine for hunting hares...in fact, their feet are much bigger than a ferruginous. They are NOT easy birds to start with, and I would re-think your decision, IMO. Look into getting a harris' hawk or a red-tail for your starter bird, and if you're successful with them, THEN move on. You've gotta walk before you run.
andy, Red tails are very efficient at hunting rabbits, ferruginous are better for squirrels, groundhogs and large hares. A ferrug may cost more, but both types of hawks are equally as hard to train, though a ferrug is slightly larger; and more expensive. Hawks like to soar on thermal currents, you have to train them not to. If you live in a forest type area, perhaps a cooper's hawk would be far better. If you prefer larger birds, look into golden eagles or goshawks once ure done with buteos.
Hi Canadadry7 thanks for your comment as you have probably read i have settled on a female red tailed hawk mainly because the female red has bigger feet and not a big mouth like the ferrug !!
Was she a bird that came from the wild or what? What a beautiful bird! I do a truck route through Oklahoma and I get to see a lot of different Hawks. I saw a beautiful Red Tail today and she was HUGE!
you all are bozos. i depends what country you live in. if you live in britan you need a licence olny for certain birds but you cant get them from the wild. in america you need a lichence for any bird but you can get them from the wild!!!

is there a reason the ferrug stops & lands on the ground instead of the perch?
