What size housing should provide for a harris hawk?

Question

can someone give me some dimensions of an enclosure for a harris hawk?, It will be used for flying and hunting, so will get flown regularly.

Any advice would be greatley appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

probably about the size of a small aviary, 10 by 8 and 15 ft tall should be good cover the roof though so no other birds of prey come and pick on him make sure you plant foliage in as well as  having perches and shelters.

Answer 2

You need both state and federal permits to keep a wild bird, especially a raptor.  And, as someone before me said, you will have to work with a licensed falconer.

A hawk needs a large aviary, 20' x 40' so that it can get the necessary flying exercise.  

This is NOT something to be undertaken by a novice.

Check zoning for your area, also any CC & R's that may affect your property.

Check with your local Fish & Game to obtain the names of licensed falconers with whom you may connect.

One last thing- it is illegal to buy or sell a wild bird or animal, so don't go there.

Answer 3

Do you have a falconers license?  You need one to keep a Harris Hawk for such purposes.  There are legal requirements of how big your enclosure should be..if you are doing this legally you would probably already know the answer to this question.

Answer 4

If you still have questions you haven't done enough research yet. Hawks are NOT easy to keep. In most states you must work with a licensed falconer before you can get your own hawk. Have you looked into the legal requirements? Keep reading before you buy a hawk.
