How do you train the hawk not to go after the ferret?

[willbopdobop]

@cybrown You don't really train them just get them used to each other, you can do this by putting the ferret cage in front of the aviary so the hawk sees them a lot but sometimes some birds wont work with ferrets.

You should get 2 if your falconer class allows it Harris hawks work better in teams.

@Flashlax19 we have flown in a cast of around five birds before now, great fun :)

I get why you do it, but why not fair play? Why make it so the rabbit has no chance? Take it to a field where there are rabbits, and see if your bird can do it, why do you have to ensure it by using a ferret?

[willbopdobop]

@KingofSpain101 this is a video of the bird working with ferrets and also if you see in the video we walk the land with the birds also. as for "ensuring" we get the rabbits by using ferrets, as you see in the video we didn't use nets and this gives the rabbits a fighting chance as you see when numerous rabbits live to graze another day :p

@kiafar Ok I can see where this is going, obviously you think your right, have you got the handbook on hunting there in your lap? no you haven't. If this was rats down a hole you wouldn't say a thing, rats a vermin and guess what so are rabbits. we are on this land to control numbers. what do you think is better? introducing a man mad disease like mitsimitosis? (google it) or doing it the way "GOD" intended?

@kiafar your ignorance is showing....

[kiafar]

@willbopdobop you can act and think as if what you do is right, but you will come to regret what you do, and i never said hunting is wrong, humanity wouldn't survive without hunting, but what you do in this video is against hunting rules ever, you cant go and grab animals out of their home because you are hungry.wtf are you? a fuckin serpent?

[willbopdobop]

@kiafar That shows how colossally stupid you are, rabbits breed through the "breeding season" and no rabbit was killed while in its "nest" I guess your one of the people who likes to eat meat but your ignorant to where it comes from? as for god making me pay where in the ten commandments does it say thow shall not hunt and put food on the table, however I'm sure it says something along the lines of treating others with the respect you yourself would wish for. Rant over

[kiafar]

fuckin pricks you cant kill an animal when its in the nest with its babys, god will make you all pay one day.
