Teal'c is a male Harris Hawk - his flying weight is 1lb 6oz. He was born in Dereham in 2004 and bought by us for display work.His previous owner didn't like hunting but would play hide and seek with him.

Baal is also a male Harris hawk and was aquired in Aug 2008 just a year old as his previous owner had split up with his wife and moved on.Baal has needed retraining as he doesn't seem to know how to fly very well and will be joining Teal'c in displays.
