Harris Hawk visits the "Twitchers" in Y1/2
As part of our "Twitchers" topic we are learning about how people look after their birds with care and sensitivity. Becky a local falconer came to visit us with her Harris Hawk Mort. She explained to us about birds of prey and how she looks after Mort. She told us that Mort needs daily exercise and about what he eats, he even had his tea before he left - a chick! We were able to get up close and touch Mort and some of us who answered Becky's quiz questions correctly held him, but only after wearing a special falconer's glove to protect our hands from Mort's talons.

My dad found a sparrow hawk and it could not fly so we took it in my car and we took it to the rspca so they could mend his wing. The lady thanked us for helping the bird. I loved holding the harris hawk but he was heavey.
