   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

   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 !!

   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.

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

   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.

   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.

    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!!!

    yes you need a lisence you take a test at the fishing game and if you pass the test you are able 2 have one but you need to have good upkeep
