Sherlock (Harris Hawk)

Sherlock (Harris Hawk)

​

Date of hatch: April 2016

Skill: Dummy bunny

Temperament: Reactive, friendly and talkative

​

This has meant that we can enrich Sherlock with problem solving training, which we're hoping to be able to use in demonstrations.

​

Harris Hawks are one of the few birds of prey that work together in the wild. This makes them naturally cooperative so they tend to be easy to work with.

​

Sherlock is an imprinted hawk, which means he's very friendly around people. He is always raring to go which makes him a great flyer, if a little fidgety.

a white stripe on the bottom of their tail, which they wiggle for silent communication when hunting.
