1600 views! Woohoo! Just a word of advice for anyone else wanting to fly a falcon...they are not Harris hawks, so don`t try and fly them like a Harris.

i saw that he is missing hope you get him back, does the saker make them a bit mental in comparison to normal lanners?

[WSPlumber]

He had just got the sweetest temperament! A cracking little bird.

Thanks for your good wishes!

what do you fink about the video's with enters in you fink they will be ok???????????

[marieoconnell1]

i dont fly him but i fink he fly's around 1lb 4 maybe ill have to ask... but when i saw him he was stooping and chasing. a great bird he really is

[plumbrite]

I love watching other ppls videos. Ive only just got the hang of it. Does your p-s hit stuff with a stoop or does he chase? He sounds very reliable. What weight does he hunt at?

[marieoconnell1]

high flyer! all you see is a black dot mate... but i totally agree with what you said about the gyr. i can put video's on here of the gyr and the gyr/peregrine but they have footage of them entering should that be okay you fink?

[plumbrite]

Notoriously delicate. Id prefer a bird with hybrid vigour and the natural weather hardiness of a native bird. Thats one thing my lost falcon didnt have. Damn expensive too. Id want a bird that is more manouverable and will fly well to the lure and for that reason id like something with lanner (maybe pere-lanner) in but i do like your pere-saker. Hes a goodlooking bird. Is he a high flier?
