You want to know its hunting weight.
For rabbits even a small male will do. For hare i wouldn't use anything smaller than a 2lb 4oz female
You need to know how vocal it is, and see it for yourself at hunting weight.
Unless its this years it should of been entered and you should see it hunting
As for the price, the HH is the Staffy of the BOP world. It might be worth £500 or it might not be worth giving aviary space to

Thanks pal, for your advice. I will ask all those questions and more.

Is this your first BOP?

Yes

Have fun. This will be the first season I haven't flown a HH for about 12 years

Why are you not using a harris hawk anymore?

Because I just got the falcon I have always dreamed of having Gyr/Saker Falcon

Very nice! Jealous...much lol. How many BOP do you have?

I have the hybrid and last years pure Saker. I'm just trying to decide if I'm going to get either a Peregrine or a Gyr/Peregrine hybrid next year
