Guest bigda Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 that lashing was on there to entangle around the hawks legs so as they could pick it up, its the only bait that a peregrine will come to and the hawk men know this, and are doing it every where to get the young hawks with rings on them, totally agree a pr stunt for a collection shortly, and they birds bring in money for them :-/ big bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangster Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 yes correct but the pigeon makes up a big part of a wild perigrines daily diet so therfore its very likely it would be used as bait ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
