TRAINING SUMMARY
	NOW HOPEFULLY YOU HAVE READ THROUGH THE FIRST TWO PAGES AND MAYBE THINKING TO EASY, WELL MAYBE OR MAYBE NOT BUT I DID TRY AND MAKE IT SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND. THERE ARE THINGS THAT STILL NEED TO BE TOLD SO THIS IS A SUMMARY OR A RUN THROUGH ON THE LAST TWO PAGES. COLLECTING THE BIRD CAN BE VERY DAUNTING BUT NOT TO WORRY WE WILL GET THROUGH IT. THE FIRST THING IS ALYMERIS, JESSES AND LEASH BUT BEST TO PRACTICE THIS FIRST OR GET SOMEONE TO HELP YOU THAT HAS DONE THIS BEFORE. THEN HAVING THE BIRD SIT ON YOUR FIST, WITHOUT THE BIRD BATING AWAY AND HANGING UPSIDE DOWN. THIS IS CALLED MANNING AND SHOULD GO ON THOUGH OUT TRAINING AND TO KEEP THE BOND THROUGHOUT WORKING THE BIRD. NOW YOUR GOAL HERE IS TO FIND THE FLYING WEIGHT OF THE BIRD SO YOU HAVE TO START REDUCING THE FOOD INTAKE OF THE BIRD AND WEIGHING IT EVERY DAY. EACH DAY AS THE WEIGHT COMES DOWN YOU HAVE TO TRY AND GET THE BIRD TO WORK FOR YOU AS JUMPING FROM THE PERCH TO YOUR FIST. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT IS THE START BUT REMEMBER THE BIRD WILL BE GETTING USED TO YOU AND IT WILL WORK FOR YOU PROBABLY A BIT EARLY ON IN THE WEIGHT AREA, WHICH MEANS IT WILL NEED TO LOSE A BIT MORE WEIGHT, YOU WILL SEE THIS WHEN YOU PUT THE CREANCE ON. GO TO A PARK, FIELD OR WHAT EVER AREA YOU WILL BE USING. PUT IT ON THE PERCH AND STAND A FEW FEET AWAY, SEE IF THE BIRD WILL JUMP TO YOU, GOOD IF IT DOES BRING THE WEIGHT DOWN IF IT DOSN'T. NOW WHEN YOU ARE DOING THIS SOMETIMES A TITBIT DOSN'T IMPRESS THE BIRD SO I USED A FULL DOC . THIS WORKS SOMETIMES BUT NOT ALWAYS AND YOU ONLY GET A FEW TURNS DOING IT THIS WAY BUT TRY TITBITS AND FINISH WITH A DOC. EACH TIME YOU TAKE THE BIRD OUT ON THE CREANCE KEEP STRETCHING OUT A BIT LONGER UNTIL IT DOES NOT WANT TO FLY TO YOU AND AGAIN FINISH WITH A DOC. NOW YOU SHOULD PROBABLY BE LOOKING TO HAVE IT FLYING TO YOU FROM ABOUT 150YRDS AND IT SHOULD HAPPEN WHEN YOUR FIST IS RAISED , THE BIRD SHOULD FLY RIGHT AWAY COMING TO THE FIST AND SOMETIMES BEFORE EVEN AS YOU ARE WALKING TO THE LENGTH OF THE CREANCE IT MAYBE FOLLOWING YOU. I WOULD SAY IF IT IS DOING THIS IT IS READY TO FLY FREE. A WORD OF WARNING BEFORE DOING SO IS WHEN YOU ARE CARRYING THE BIRD IT SHOULD NOT BE BATING OFF WHEN CARS OR ANY VEHICLE OR EVEN PERSONS OR INFACT THE BIRD SHOULD BE USED TO EVERYTHING THAT YOU WILL COME UP AGAINST AND I MEAN EVERYTHING. CROWS AND SEAGULLS HAVE A HABIT OF GANGING UP OR BOMBARDING IT SO LET IT GET USED TO IT BEFORE FLYING FREE. ONCE FLYING FREE TRAINING HAS NOT STOPPED HERE , YOU HAVE TO TEACH IT TO FOLLOW ON AND HUNT. WHAT I DID FOR FOLLOWING ON WAS I WENT TO A SMALL WOODS LET THE BIRD GO AND START TO WALK THROUGH THE WOODS AND STARTING FROM SHORT DISTANCES CALL IT BACK TO THE FIST WITH A TITBIT AND ON A BIT MORE. EVERYTIME IT DID THIS THE DISTANCE GOT LONGER AND NOW I CAN GO FOR AN HOUR OR MORE WITHOUT GIVING IT A BIT OF MEAT. NOW HUNTING IS DONE WITH WHAT WE CALL A DUMMY BUNNY , YOU CAN BUY THESE OR MAKE YOUR OWN BUT WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS GET SOMEONE TO GIVE YOU A HAND. GARNISH THE DUMMY WITH A PIECE OF MEAT AND GET SOMEONE TO PULL IT ALONG THE GROUND AND LET THE BIRD GO FOR IT, YOU MAY HAVE TO TIE A DOC AT FIRST TO IT THEN REDUCING TO A SMALL PIECE OF MEAT LATER ON WHEN IT BEGINS TO RECONGNISE IT, BUT REMEMBER THAT THE BIRD SHOULD BE REWARDED FOR THE DEEDS IT DOES. THE BIRD THEN NEEDS TO GET ENTERED INTO A PREY SO TAKE IT OUT AND SEE IF YOU CAN FIND IT A RABBIT TO HUNT AND IF IT DOES LET IT GORGE ON THIS FIRST RABBIT AS MUCH AS POSS AND MAYBE THE SECOND AS WELL THEN AFTER IT ONLY GETS A SMALL PIECE FROM WHAT IT CATCHES.
