Mugi, I will try to take her during this week. And will try to work with some positive reinforcement with her.

Sokoly, every best wish with Buba; how exciting! Regarding our Falcon, some say that its closest relative are the falcons of South America; the word I had been trying to remember was accipiter; which our falcon is not but its environment has meant that its shorter wings and longer tail enables it to hunt amongst trees. They are considered an endangered specie here and there is a $NZ5000.00 fine should you be found to have killed one. They are ferocious hunters; I have watched them hunting skylarks (Alauda arvensis liberated in New Zealand from England in 1864).

Yes Victoria, they are beautifull falcons. Dr. Nick Fox is breeding them for later reintroduction in nature.
I am takin Buba in Saturday, will have to give her a nice bath, anti endoparazites, treatment and of course some hair trimming.

Buba is fine. She is being treated like a princess. Very calm and good behaving in the house. Very rearly barks and never does the pody at home. I couldn't wait longer so i took her to the fields. She was preaty clumsy on the partridges. She can sent them and by the time she points they are bursting from the grass. I quess thats because she was not into "hunting mode". And after all the partridges are breeding now so they might be more spooky? I start taking her to the fields every other day and once she made a very good point that lasted maybe a hole minute. :-)))
I quess that by taking her out as often I could she will be ready by October???
Chears to all,

Yes by the sound of it she will be well and truly ready by October!! We have only three weeks to go before the opening day of our shooting season; have to buy my licence! Buba sounds lovely!
