    Hi @dedus !

    Birds of Prey sound amazing! I've been to a few displays with them before- they're very majestic looking, especially in-flight. What sorts of Birds of Prey do you keep?

    We're more conventional in our house- we have a cat named George :wink:

    That is an incredibly cool hobby. Do you live in the countryside? Can you post some pictures of them would be interesting to see :)

    Hi @dedus,

    Wow, that sounds fascinating! I was always mesmerised by the birds of prey shows you could see at your local zoo. I agree with @BeccaShark123 - they really are majestic!

    Do you have a favourite bird of prey? I've always found eagles and owls particularly interesting.

    What a cool hobby! I love my allotment, going to gigs and reading.  I think my hobbies are a bit boring compared to you!

    The Eagles are huge and far to big for me to handle , a few of my birds have 4 and 6 ft wingspans , that's big enough for me , I have all the scars as well from their talons, sometimes the gloves are not thick enough when I handle them , hope you all like the pics ,

    I used to do loads of reading now I can't get past 2 pages without falling asleep.
    So my latest fad is crochet I'm teaching myself the stitches and new patterns from watching youtube videos.

    I lost touch with myself last year after I was sectioned, now a year later I still struggle to do the things I liked doing. More so now when DWP views such activities as a sign your 100% fit to work.

    On my dark days I try to do something related to hobbies, perhaps not really doing that, but related to it. It helps me get some light on things for a little while.
    DWP seem to think everythings i in B&W mentally and physically...its not!
    The only thing I find 'instant' is the compulsion to end it all and put and end to the harrasment, theres no grey area there.
