About the Kestrel Giant Hood
Successfully hawking an American kestrel in falconry is achievable for anyone. Success is not attained through magic or dumb luck. It's actually quite scientific and reproducible. A falconer need only a few pieces of specifically designed equipment, proper guidance and the commitment of time.
With our giant hood, you're one step closer to success with your tiny falcon. Falconer and craftsman Brian Hershberger started with the box I've used and perfected over several seasons and birds. The exact size of the box itself, the placement of the perch and most importantly the guillotine door are all very crucial to transporting a kestrel easily and safely. Brian took my old box, "polished the edges" and created a giant hood I'm happy to share because I know it works, and I use it.
Made from abs plastic, stainless hardware and brass tread inserts, the kestrel giant hood will ship direct to you from Brian. Brian's work embodies the spirit of the quality equipment we stand behind here at Mountain State Falconry Supply. Brian is also a game hawker, so he's our kind of falconer.
We're excited to announce this giant hood is now shipped 100% assembled and ready to use!
Our newest model features four screw-in vents that house and protect removable/washable foam filters and a pvc perch covered in our old school grip tape (to save those little falcon tails).
The boxes are available in white or black with a variety of color choices for the vents and perch grip tape. Customize your kestrel giant hood today!
