Anglo-Indian style
Suitability: All longwings,
shortwings, broadwings
Specification: Externally
butt-stitched or bonded, coloured
and lacquered
Gold or silver ornamented Turk’s Head

“Nina”
Especially for small hawks and falcons up to
perlin size, the “Nina” is a bonded hood of
kangaroo, weighing little more than 5 grams.
The fit of the hood
“Erin”
ALL hoods, regardless of style, should
fit like those shown here.
This is a beautiful hood of simple
but deceptive elegance, with
superbly even external stitches,
and kangaroo throatlash.
Kangaroo or Goretex braces.
1. Clear of the eyes
2. Snug against the face
3. The beak opening should be
clear of the mouth parts for
comfort. ALL of the mouth
parts should be visible.
Think of hoods you have seen
in the past. Irrespective of the
quality of manufacture, if they
do not pass 1, 2 and 3 THEY DO
NOT FIT!
Eagle Hood
A blend of the Anglo-Indian and Kazakh hood,
with rolled neckband and choice of kangaroo
or Goretex braces. A superb fit as always, this
hood can be customised as required (eg with
eagle’s name as shown).

hoods
The majority of the hoods are cut from pale tan
hide, and individually dyed to give a variety of
well-defined colours with real depth. All hoods
have plumes and rolled braces of genuine
kangaroo or Goretex. Each hood is entirely hand
made, so individual requirements can be catered
for, whether for colour, size, style or finish,
although special orders will take longer.
Colour possibilities include: Dark brown, navy blue,
red, green and black.
Dutch style
Suitability: All longwings and larger shortwings
only
Specification: A blocked hood, internally cross
stitched, coloured and lacquered, rolled leather
neckband
“Onyx”
“Onyx”
Blocked in the same way as a Dutch hood, this hood has
all the shape and finish not normally associated with Arab
hoods.
“Pearl”
“Pearl”
The most popular Dutch hood, this one usually has
side panels of a contrasting colour to that of the
centre, although individual requirements can differ.
With a leather plume which incorporates silver or gilt
ornamentation and Turk’s Head knot.
Goretex Braces
Goretex Braces
All hoods can be fitted with Goretex braces, which have
the benefit of giving the braces the same friction
indefinitely. Colours are matched wherever possible.

gloves
Superbly-fitting patterns, supple strong
buckskin and excellence of manufacture
have been the hallmark of Ben Long gloves
for many years. All gloves have rolled
edgings of contrasting hide, and a dee-ring
fitted for added security. Please send hand
outline with orders, to ensure a superb fit.
These gloves are well known to be the best
available in the world today, and will
normally last some 10 years or more if
treated with our Falconers Leather
Dressing. We cannot be responsible for the
performance of our gloves if any other
substance is used.
“Zoe”
This splendid buckskin glove is longer than wrist
length, and can be used for any small hawk, or
any falcon. Great value.
“Imp”
Another single-layer buckskin glove, like the
“Zoe” but with a cutaway cuff, for spars,
merlins etc.
Eagle glove
Some 17 inches long, double layer throughout
plus another layer over 3 fingers, wrist and
thumb, yet surprisingly supple. This is the eagle
glove par excellence. Armguard also available.

hawking
bags and
accessories
“Zenith”
This is probably the best hawking bag ever designed
— spacious inside, compact outside, incredibly
robust, light and easy to use and, of course, very
pleasing to look at. Made from an attractive olive
green, completely waterproof canvas-like material,
it is built on a lightweight frame for strength, with
a ring at the top to attach to the strap or belt. It is
double sided, comprising 2 large pockets, with 4
more on the outside of those, one of which has a
removable lining for meat. A zip on the side gives
access to another large pocket in the centre.
Contrasting piping and neat lids with Ben Long two
falcons logo and press-stud fastening completes this
great product.
Zenith bag, strap and
belt
“Zenith 2”
A smaller version of the “Zenith”, with all the same
features except the side zipper pocket
Shoulder Strap
Belt and belt clip
Real brass, top quality English bridle leather and
comfortable webbing gives this usually overlooked
item a real ‘presence’. Fully adjustable, it has a
robust, rotating fastening to hold the bag, and a
neat, secure clip to hold a hood and jesses out of
harm’s way. Can be used in conjunction with our
matching belt for extra comfort in use. Please state
whether for right- or left-handed falconer.
Belt
From matching bridle leather, this solid 11/2" wide
belt has a brass buckle, and gives great security
when used in conjunction with shoulder strap (see
illustration). Please state length required (over
clothes).
Belt Clip
In the absence of a shoulder strap, this clip can be
slid onto the belt to hold a bag. It is precisely the
same construction as the ‘business end’ of the
shoulder strap, and an item of real quality.
However, to be comfortable carrying any weight,
the strap is best.

spike and swivelling ring, these blocks are totally
maintenance free. In addition, they have recessed
astroturf (removable for cleaning) and can be both
outdoor (with spike) or portable (with heavy base

Bell and Bewit fitting
There are differing opinions, but if you intend to go on to take wild quarry, a Harris’ hawk is very user-friendly, robust, and
easy to train and handle. You could also consider a redtailed buzzard, although they are slightly harder for a beginner. With
any bird that will not generally catch anything its usefulness ends as soon as it is trained, whereas the Harris’ or redtail will
go on taking quarry and improving over months or years. AVOID anything small, like a barn owl or kestrel, and there is no
margin for error with weight, NEVER think of the hard birds like goshawks, sparrowhawks or eagles until you are very
experienced. Some of the middle-sized to larger falcons are relatively easy to train, but will ALWAYS need to be flown with
radio-tracking equipment. You may be interested in owls, and some species can be flown successfully, and some will even
take quarry. However, if it is your intention to fly at quarry you may be giving yourself a very hard time.

ACCOMMODATION
Most of all, make sure you have the correct housing, food and equipment before your bird arrives. The correct
accommodation for a falconry bird is not an aviary, but should be a fully-enclosed “mews” (a modified wooden shed is
OK) for initial training and afterwards every night. During the day the bird is “weathered” - tethered to its perch, with a
bath within reach, if possible on a lawn, but under a lean-to shelter (a “weathering shelter”) in case of bad weather or
very hot summer sun. The weathering lawn may need to be fenced to keep out dogs or foxes if no-one is around to look
after the hawk. Domestic cats are not usually a problem.
ESSENTIALS OF TRAINING
Training is a surprisingly short process.
A Harris hawk can be trained to fly totally
free and return to the falconer is about 3
weeks, or even less.
Creance
with stick
All birds of prey are trained by combining
two elements
1. Weight control. The hawk must be a
little hungry when flown, as it ONLY
returns to the falconer for food. It is
weighed at the beginning of training, and
the falconer will expect to reduce the fat
weight of the hawk by about 10% to start
with, and will adjust this “flying weight”
a little if necessary.
Glove and Digital Scales
Rabbit Lure,
stick and line
REMEMBER: Hawks return to the falconer
for food, NOT for affection, and must be
a little hungry when flown. Appetite is
induced by weight reduction ONLY. It is
not possible to start training without
weight control.
Bow Perch and Bath
All these items are also
available separately —
please see the relevant
sections in this brochure.
2. “Manning”. This is a process whereby
the hawk is made steady to all the things
it has to see when in a captive state. The
hawk is firstly expected to take food on
the glove, which will require a reduction
in weight to make it hungry enough to do
this. Afterwards, the hawk can be carried
around whist eating. This can help to
take its mind off any scary sights and
sounds. To make the meal last longer, we
use “tirings”, which are pieces of meat
with bones in, which the hawk can only
eat slowly. The longer the meal lasts, the
more manning the hawk gets every day.
If you try to man the hawk without tiring,
it will take much longer, and it will never
be as steady as one which is manned
using tirings. HAWKS KEPT AT THEIR FAT
WEIGHT DO NOT MAN.
Diet
Vitamins, Grease, Whistle
All birds of prey eat raw meat only.
It is common to feed a day-old chicks,
but this diet is not sufficient on its
own. You should feed a varied diet,
including possibly rabbits, quail, rats or
mice, along with a vitamin / mineral
supplement.
RADIO TRACKING EQUIPMENT
A Harris’ or redtail, trained properly and flown at the correct weight is unlikely to be lost, but they ARE regularly lost by
inexperienced falconers, and it is likely most will not survive in the wild. Tracking equipment is NOT a shortcut to training a
hawk properly, but is the next best thing to a guarantee that you will get your hawk back if anything unforeseen occurs, and
is therefore well worth considering if it can be afforded. A good system is probably going to cost more than the bird, but
remember that you keep the system for many years, and it will help to locate lost hawks time and time again. NEVER buy a
cheap system. You will not have an effective guarantee if it goes wrong, and they are ALWAYS inferior in operation.

The level of the lure is increased
daily until some broadwings can
climb to a considerable height,
and some falcons to many
