I have an OBGYN friend that used to have a redtail. He even bought a jeep to take his bird on outings. Magnificent creatures. Watching the power and hunger in them as they feast, scared me enough to know I didn't want to wear the glove. You really have to respect them to keep them. I know my friend always respected the fact that they were still wild even in captivity.
I wish I had taken up this camera thing back in his birding days.
Never used a glove with my birds . Mutual trust is built up as well as respect ! Maybe I will try it out again once I am retired and can pay more attention to the bird. When I was A teenager my birds slept in my bedroom. Made my Mom really mad. But when our Pastor came to visit and failed to take his hat off in the house , Sheba my red tailed did it for him.
My Mom did not like that trick so Sheba had to sleep outside in her cage after that.
Still fly a Red tail now and again that belongs to a friend. Also have flown a Golden Eagle !
Best regards , Barry )))
Barry, that's a great story. I had no idea they could be that well trained. The redtail that my friend had was captive for only a short time and released back into the wild. He and his friends did not let them imprint too much on the humans, just the glove that held a reward. Maybe that was why those birds were all business when it came to the hunt or enjoying a nice tasty mouse. I have some photos of a ferrugian hawk that was trained to the glove taken at the Desert museum. I might post some of those photos. I don't know if those are native to our area. Big beautiful raptors they are though. The Desert Museum has a family (4 total) of the Harris Hawks. They fly them together. Quite a sight. Here inthe neighborhood Ann and the dogs were buzzed today by the family of three on the nightly walk. I missed it as I was stuck at work. Must be nice to look at retirement around the corner.
my Redtail was saved by me from a Racoon. He had ripped up her craw and she was almost dead. At the time I worked for a vet and I took her there. That's where the bond bagan to form. Other birds that I had saw how we interacted and began to respect and trust me more. Sheba the Redtail used to walk down the street with me on my sholder with no restraint. I just sem to have a way with with all raptors. I go out to this lake about 4 miles from where we live and call up the birds . I am answered every time and have but a few minutes wait .
We may not retire to Mexico and are going to look for a house in Flagstaff !
