I have been fascinated with birds of prey since being a nipper and find them amazing predators.

My dad's cousin (don't know what relation to me he is) used to keep a kestrel and a common buzzard. I remember going up to their house and taking the birds to the local playing fields to fly them. Absolutely brilliant.

So, does anyone on here keep them? Do you need a license or anything from any governing body?

Not looking at getting one just yet as I I have my hands full but I have always dreamed of training a Harris Hawk and then the ultimate flying machine a Peregrine but I need to retire first.
