Symptoms and cure for starving hawks

Old Salty Falconer Wisdom for Apprentices

1. Have fun with your bird

3. You couldn't ask for a better bird.
4. Better too high than too low or It's good to fly them high

7. Don't fly the bird when there's thermals.
8. It's easier to go from jacks to bunnies than the other way around.
