Mocking birds are very intelligent birds
Birds are in general very intelligent.
I have never liked having birds in cages
Not necessarily in a cage, but it is very good to have at least one bird. I have a Harris's hawk. We love each other. She can sat on my arm all day. We sleep with each other. I often feed her with hand. And on my arm too. I spend most of my time with her. Except when I am at work. Nowadays I work in a 4 hours per day part time job. To be honest, a Harris's hawk is my only real happiness and enjoyment in life.
Many years ago I used to have an Australian parakeet, also called "dirty face". He was a beauty and very intelligent, he was free in my home, and he always went to the bathroom when I was taking a shower, and he did too.
Do you have a hawk?, I would love for you to show him, or better yet, if you would make some publication about him, because I think he is charming, I suppose that he is trained, is he aggressive?
Many times the company of a bird or any animal is better than that of a human, they are more faithful and affectionate in many cases.
Does your hawk have a name? 😱
A few months ago I posted a few photos about her in the Feathered Friends community. Maybe I will post more photos about her in the future.
Yes, she is trained (she can fly to my arm by calling, eating on my arm and from my hands) (sometimes she fly to my arm even without calling), but not aggressive. Actually she is very calm. I often walk with her outside. She got used to the people and everything else, including even to dogs (she feared them at first, and screamed at them a few times). And I also often sit with her outside for hours.
I completely agree.
No. I call her by whistling. You can train a Harris's hawk to fly to your arm in 1-2 months. All you need with this bird is love, time and patience. And of course food (meat) for feeding.
It is surprising, then tomorrow I will start looking in your publications to see the photographs, since now I am quite exhausted.
Thank you very much for being so nice and taking the time to answer my questions.
It is simply great and impressive what you comment. I hope you continue to share such interesting material, I started to follow you.
Thank you.
I have not uploaded any photo about my Harris's hawk in a month. Probably soon. Nowadays more and more people are encouraging me to upload more photos about my Harris's hawk.
Nowadays you can find other types of content on my profile.
Actually I have a new Harris's hawk, because the previous one died. I bought him from a breeder in the previous month.
You can find two posts about my bird here:
Honestly, I am a little bit discouraged about posting more about my bird, because almost no one cared about these posts.
Have a nice evening. Good night.
There will always be people who like to see these types of birds, to me it seems very cool and something completely original.
