On the previous day, the Cranberry hawk refused to jump on the hand from a height and remained hungry.
On this day, we repeated the lesson with the required task, but not on the same tree, but from the height of the veranda railing. Everything was going great until Cranberry decided to jump on the railing. I had to call Artyom for help and stress him.
Before the first jump, the hawk thinks for a very long time and does not dare to jump. This is normal, considering that it was this bird that had a broken wing and was unable to fly. Most likely, it was deposited in her head that the attempt to fly was followed by a fall.
But even for healthy birds, it is perfectly normal to look around in a new place first and get used to the situation.
