Hi bloodyirish. Thanks for the advice, I'll do so. I've just thought of asking a place that does demonstrations for flying birds of prey. I'm sure they'd rather give the right advice out than just try talk me out of it (as most people know, if people have their heart set on something, they cannot be talked out of it) which, aslong as they WILL care for it properly, I see nothing wrong with. Thanks for your advice.
With regards to Santoury, I'm sorry but I never blamed him, I'm just defending myself. I never asked his opinion on keeping birds, I asked information on HOW to keep them, I just think he was way too fast to attack me for 'trying' to keep illegal species, (which obviously wasn't true) but hey it happens, and I understand that. If thats his opinion, thats great, opinions are one of the best and free'est of things in the world, but theres no need to apply it as an attack at me, thats all I'm saying. I think people should stop trying to put others down and making them feel ashamed for what they want to keep, when (I guess IMHO) theres no problem with it. I dont see why I should be told off for (trying?) to be a responsible owner. I never once thought about telling him off for wanting, or more specificily, keeping what he does, as really, its none of my buisness, and its no better or no lower than what I keep/want to. We all keep animals here, and I think aslong as kept properly its just part of the hobby, so what am I doing that is so different from him? I know of many people on here (without mentioning names) that buy animals first without knowing the first thing about them, or providing the wrong conditons DESPITE asking and being given advice. So I hope you understand why I'm upset, because I'm trying to be a decent and fair owner to what I want to keep yet I am being punished for it as would somebody who is just interested in having the animal, regardless of its needs and wants
