I'm in New Zealand for a few months, it's pretty wet and windy here! I'm as happy as I was at the falcon farm which is awesome. Unfortunately I have to go back to uni in September.

At the moment I'm finishing off a black sparrowhawk drawing, then I will move on to drawing some native wildlife...in particular kea parrots which are my favourite non-hawk birds here so far.

lol that's ok!!! Thanks, birds of prey are so photogenic so no talent required!! XD sadly they're not mine, I have no contact with captive raptors any more because I'm at university. It's killing me slowly inside...:'( but I'm hoping to get a small hawk this September perhaps to fly in the city when no one's around!

Don't throw anything away.

wow that would be wonderful to have your own hawk :D i often go and droool over the birds of prey at the local wildlife park, but its not the same as being able to handle them :)

Ha ha! It's an experience that's for sure, but it certainly isn't for everyone. Falconry in the UK these days is far too accessible, lots of people over-breeding hawks and owls and idiots go to buy them as pets...I used to work at a rescue centre, you'd be amazed by how few hawks are actually flown and hunted properly, it seems most are just kept as pets to look at. Makes me sad. But they sure are the most awesome creatures, it's an honour to have anything to do with them. :D

wow yeah i should imagine there are many who need educating about proper care of hawks/owls, people do the worst things to animals and birds through their own ignorance :( but your right it is an honour to have a connection with these birds, and i applaude you for working in the rescue center too :)
