I'd personally suggest a Lanner Falcon. Their adaptability, swift learning, and cooperative nature make them suitable for falconers of all abilities. Additionally, their agility and intelligence ensure a rewarding learning experience while building a strong bond between you and your bird.
I'd personally go with a Harris Hawk. They're great for all falconers due to their social, cooperative nature and intelligence, making them easy to train and especially ideal for beginners.
Dutch hoods are traditionally used on Falcons and Anglo-Indian hoods are traditionally used on Hawks.
To explore our range of hawking hoods, please visit our Hoods section of the online store.
You simply wrap the anklet around the hawk’s leg, then using the “Male and female” rivets (supplied) push these through the pre-punched holes and squeeze them tightly together using pliers. They will be permanently on. No eyelet tools required.

Kangaroo leather is an excellent choice for crafting Jesses due to its remarkable strength-to-weight ratio. It outperforms other leathers in this regard, offering up to ten times the strength of cowhide.
This exceptional strength is attributed to the unique fiber arrangement in kangaroo leather and its lack of sweat glands. Additionally, the uniform distribution of elastin within the leather provides added tensile strength, making it our preferred option for jesses.

Polypropylene rope is well-known for its strength and durability. Not only is it made from an incredibly robust cord, it also benefits from a tight multi-strand construction – which maximises its inherent strength and makes it very hard-wearing. The cord won't splinter during use.
