Hi @dedus !
Birds of Prey sound amazing! I've been to a few displays with them before- they're very majestic looking, especially in-flight. What sorts of Birds of Prey do you keep?
We're more conventional in our house- we have a cat named George

That is an incredibly cool hobby. Do you live in the countryside? Can you post some pictures of them would be interesting to see

Hi @dedus,
Wow, that sounds fascinating! I was always mesmerised by the birds of prey shows you could see at your local zoo. I agree with @BeccaShark123 - they really are majestic!
Do you have a favourite bird of prey? I've always found eagles and owls particularly interesting.

What a cool hobby! I love my allotment, going to gigs and reading. I think my hobbies are a bit boring compared to you!Scope

I love going to gigs too , used to be a punk , loved all the indie bands , went to download last year , used to go to a gig every week , get chased by skinheads lol
i love to race bmw,s and motorbikes too , love in the fast lane , as well as draw and write I am sure your hobbies are full and rewarding as mine are -
My birds of prey are female goshawk , male goshawk/Cooper's hawk he is a hybrid , male American redtailed hawk , female Harris hawk , male euro kestrel , male barn owl , I think the barn owls are the most beautiful looking of the owls ,
i also have a 40 yr old tortoise , I adore pets ,

The Eagles are huge and far to big for me to handle , a few of my birds have 4 and 6 ft wingspans , that's big enough for me , I have all the scars as well from their talons, sometimes the gloves are not thick enough when I handle them , hope you all like the pics ,

@dedus s I draw the line at holding baby chickens lol. I could not handle them myself but I do like to see them at shows.

I used to do loads of reading now I can't get past 2 pages without falling asleep.
So my latest fad is crochet I'm teaching myself the stitches and new patterns from watching youtube videos. -
I lost touch with myself last year after I was sectioned, now a year later I still struggle to do the things I liked doing. More so now when DWP views such activities as a sign your 100% fit to work.
On my dark days I try to do something related to hobbies, perhaps not really doing that, but related to it. It helps me get some light on things for a little while.
DWP seem to think everythings i in B&W mentally and physically...its not!
The only thing I find 'instant' is the compulsion to end it all and put and end to the harrasment, theres no grey area there.
