Re: Weaponised Predator :)
Great little film , when that hawk swoops straight down on that bolting bunny , that’s quick!
Why is the hawk fed red meat? Can you feed a hawk white rabbit meat instead?
I,m a ferreter , and I loved the end of the film , with the ferret scratching the box , a sound I grew up with
Will the hawk be bred this summer?
Cheers for posting crack

Well that day Mik forgot to bring the meat which is normally rabbit haha so we went and got steak instead.
I don't think he is breeding from her, he could charge a premium though.
Glad you liked it!

Re: Weaponised Predator :)
That was cool
I'm pondering though. if the ferret came out of the rabbit hole first, would it be game over for the ferret like it was for the rabbit. It really didnt want to give them back did it

Feckin awesome mate. Good soundtrack and some stunning scenery.
Noticed the barbed wire fence - does the bird ever collide with it?

Re: Weaponised Predator :)
Cracking video, i believe these birds often hunt together in the wild. As already mentioned the ferret scratching from within its box brought back memories.

Re: Weaponised Predator :)
They are feisty little critters, that’s for sure. Come to think of it, I better give Mick a call and head out for another hunt! As soon as winter is over, so is the hunting.
If he takes the bird out in the lead up to spring, it gets a little bit, shall we say “clucky!”
Let it out during the breeding season and it may disappear, never to be seen again!
