Ok everybody, I haven't seen the numbers anywhere. I want to know how many DOCs to buy for 1 month for a RT or Kbird. Also, for other food species such as rats and quail. I think that this could be useful for everyone to know. I hope to get an idea of how much food to buy until the bird is consistantly catching game.
Also you could contact the local colleges around you and find out if they do research on rats or something else. make sure you tell them that you would like to have for hawk food, but its a good way to get food. also i only get the behavioral study rats. make sure to stay away from chemicaly tested rats, and the ones they use chemicals to kill.. mine are killed by CO2.
just a consideration... easy to call and would lead to free food
Thanks for the tip! After reading the DOC article FB posted, to me it sounds like a good way to go until the bird is catching game. I would ask a sponsor before buying anything though!
