Hello Mate


When you say she isn't eating do you mean not at all or is she leaving some? If shes not eating, how long is it since her last feed?

Tim,


I wouldn't worry, once a bird is at top weight they can afford to be picky. She's probably got a taste for brain and eye ball Just keep an eye on her, if she stops eating all together get her to a vet, otherwise let her get on with it.

Not sure about the club, I'm a bit further North in Lincolnshire. Try the IBR website and have a look in last years Falconry Directory or on the BFC site.


Cheers


Shaun

Hi, I find that harris can go like this at top weight. :Even if she is not eating and just eat the head, I find they need drinking water/ bath left around all time.
