Check out this add -
Falcon Bird - the seller doens't even know the species! Blind freddy can tell this bozo just trapped the poor thing in his own backyard and now he's trying to make a quid.

What a moron. It's a Brown Goshawk and it is being kept in an old pigeon coop. That's pigeon poop in one of those shots. He probably cornered it in the coop when it was attacking the pigeons. How stupid can you be to advertise it on Gumtree. I hope Nat Parks & Wildlife went around there to check it out. But no, they probably phoned first and warned the dill that they were coming. Anyone know what the outcome was?

Agreed Tint, i think if you read the add hes bloody terrified of the "falcon bird". Fortunately the bird looks ok, and he should be prosecuted. He knew what he was doing as the add didn`t say $50 . What a dill.

Don't really know . .
I have been trying to get hold of a pair for a while . . with little success
Have been told that a lass who lives not far from me paid almost $10K to get a decent pair . . the ones she had didn't do much for her apparently
Sorry that I can't be of more assistance . . .
