Just curious, does anyone have experience flying a Ferrutail or a Ferruginous in the Northeast? I'm New York-based and they're one of my favorite raptors, and I'm curious to know if anyone's had any success with them over here. Obviously we don't have jacks or large ground squirrels, but could a Ferrutail be successful on cottontails/hares or gray squirrels? I'm a Red-tail appreciator but they've always been an interest of mine. Haven't found anyone who's flown one yet though.

Hey Folks! If you are flying a micro in the off season, do you fly through molt? This year is my first year flying a tail all winter, and while he's enjoying getting fat and molting, I wanted to fly my small kes, but I don't want to be managing weight while he's regrowing and replacing feathers, which he is now.
My question is if you also wait it out, what enrichment outside indoor/creance flying and manning do you practice to keep your bit fit and happy while you wait for their new drip?

Just trying to figure out if this is even feasible: I'd like to go with her to a very scenic spot, but in a way that seems routine, and then have a falcon or hawk come out of nowhere and land on her or my arm carrying the ring. She loves birds, so she'd get a real kick out of that. I don't know, however, if it's even possible to get them to land on someone else's arm after being released by their handler, nor how they would fare with such things in an area possibly unfamiliar to them. Does anyone have any advice on how to pull this off?

Hello All, I’m working building out a mew on paper first, but wanted to get an idea of what materials people recommend to use? Are there woods that you’ve found that work better, I’m in a colder climate in the northeast if that helps? Also, I’ve been looking at metal roofing panels and PVC as well for the walls / roof for the enclosed / covered half? Thank you, any suggestions and advice is greatly appreciated.
