What to do with this baby Hawk?

Are you a falconer?!?! I've wanted to become one so I can hunt such an extended season.

It's a secret society, so he can neither confirm nor deny he is a member.

You have to apprentice to a falconer, and then even if you finish your apprenticeship, and they decide you aren't good enough, they can blackball you from becoming a falconer. You also can't buy a falcon. You have to go out and catch one. It's a weird, arcane little world, full of weird people. In Europe, it's way easier. As long as you pass your apprenticeship, and meet the legal requirements, you can buy any damn bird you want.

Get it some water since it's thirsty, firstly.

This guy bought a falcon with his car insurance savings. Pretty sure he didn't apprentice...

Get a hawk call and try and lure one of the parents in.

What?!? That's a stupid law.

Thread needs Animal to go with Hawk.

"It's just that bird law in this country is not governed by reason."

You can keep a gull as a pet, but you don't want to live with a seabird, okay, because the noise level alone...

[sc281]

That's against the law.

What?!? That's a stupid law.

Does anyone have JP135's number? Just tried the number I had saved and it's no longer valid.

Excellent idea! Someone shoot him a PM

Is he a hawk wrangler or something?

It just clawed the hell out of that Escape trying to get on it. It is now perched on the Escapes roof rack. (I work with the lady who owns the car, she is thrilled!)

Take more pictures!
