This is Harvey, but I can't remember what my friend told me it was

Whatever he is, he is a stunning bird!

Is it a Harris hawk? My neighbour used to have one and I loved to watch him training it in the garden. Beautiful bird.

Hi Potty and Gee, glad you like him. I've since been told that it's an American red tailed hawk or chickenhawk.

He's a beauty is'nt he.

He sure is Clarice, altho' I don't think I'd like to get too close to him ... !

What do they keep him for? Is he a pigeon control bird?

No not at all Lori - they just love birds and keep him as a pet in this huge pen. Then also have barn owls and endless little garden birds ....

Lovely!
