Welcome to the team... Frodo!
He's an 18 week old male harris hawk and you'll start to see him out on jobs now he's getting more confident! He's doing so so well, we're very proud of our baby boy!

A windy job for Bo this afternoon! Here he is having a play, they really do enjoy the wind, especially when it's sunny too!

Nessie and Bo have very different personalities 😂 Ness is full of attitude and just wants to get the job done whereas Bo is just a sweet boy bumbling through life 🥰😂 He's the goodest boy, he just doesn't quite have the hunting instincts that Nessie does 😂

Sheltering from the sun with Bo while the sky is clear 🌞 Although Harris hawks can be found in the desert they can struggle with the heat like any animal when in direct sunlight for too long! They can definitely cope with it better than a dog but will show signs such as starting to pant if they get too warm so it's important to make sure they take breaks in the shade!

Bo has finished moulting so is back in training to get flying on our bird deterrent jobs again ☺️ This was yesterday on day 2 of his training on the creance (basically just a long bit of string) and he's responding well so hopefully won't be long until he's flying free again! It will be Gerald's turn to have a well deserved break next! ☺️🪶

Sometimes we get worried people ask us if we're making the parents leave their chicks and the answer is not at all! Gulls are amazing parents and will defend their chicks with all their power, they would never leave them!
We don't fly anywhere nesting sites once there are nests present, all we essentially do this time of year is walk around and look scary to wind them up a bit and make them think twice about nesting there next year so hopefully they have their young somewhere else in future years!
We love all birds including gulls but understand that they can't be in certain places where they can cause hygiene issues, mess and damage, and can even be a danger to themselves and others, so we simply deter them in the most natural and environmentally friendly way possible!
