The only difference is that your pet would just sit on your hand instead of walking with you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the magnificent bird sat on his hand wondering what was happening and making sounds just like that of a baby cooing, Keiran, the parent of the bird, went on to describe Nala\u2019s personality: \u201cShe screams at me whenever she\u2019s hungry, bored, or wants to go out for a walk. I can read her body language so I know what she wants each time she does that. She screeches only with me because she considers me her dad. She wouldn\u2019t do that with anyone else.\u201d Most of the birds of prey would be with a human only for food. The relationship would be mostly about food with one particular human.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kieran, one such lover of birds got himself a pet hawk in September 2019 and talks about his life so far with his pet hawk Nala. He was determined to get a hawk after being involved in falconry for a while. \u201cIt all started when I did some falconry with my friend who is a professional falconer here, at the Cardiff castle. I did that for a couple of years before I decided to take a plunge then and get myself my own hawk\u201d, said Kieran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"Kieran describing Nala\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_-c8_QrXavY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Kieran describing Nala\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_-c8_QrXavY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><figcaption>Kieran talks about how Nala and other Harris hawks are the closest to a dinosaur that one can see<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The search for Nala went on for about six months before he finally found her with a man in Risca on an online platform. \u201cAt first, the guy who had her said she\u2019s been sold. I packed my bags and was about to leave for London as I got another one there. But then he called again and said the person who was to take Nala hadn\u2019t shown up. I immediately went and got her. Ever since then, she\u2019s been with me all the time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking about his decision to get a Harris hawk, Keiran said, \u201cI was determined to get a Harris hawk because of their temperament. There are other birds I could\u2019ve got. Out of all the birds of prey like red tails, sparrow hawks, and kestrels that you can get for falconry. There are numerous types of birds. But Harris hawks are opportunists. I like the way they think and their attitude. They\u2019re truly amazing birds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nala is an imprinted bird which means she\u2019s never had exposure to the wild. After being in her egg for over a month, the baby bird stays with its mother and sibling for about 16 weeks and then goes straight to a human. The humans take them out of their parents\u2019 nurture and start training them. \u201cSince she\u2019s an imprint, we have this really trustful bond. She\u2019s more human than a bird whereas a parent-reared bird would have a totally different attitude and a completely different type of relationship between the bird and the human\u201d, said Keiran.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"Nala and Kieran talking to each other\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l5NtEZDUtjs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Nala and Kieran talking to each other\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l5NtEZDUtjs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><figcaption>Nala responds to Kieran when he whistles at her<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While Keiran was talking, Nala sat on his hand trying to attack her own reflection in the mirror. That made me realize that imprint birds are territorial. They wouldn\u2019t like it if any other animal comes close. Talking about her behavior with other animals, Keiran said, \u201dShe doesn\u2019t get along with dogs too well. Whenever a dog comes too close, she gets into attack mode. So going to parks is a big no for me when I take her out. I take her everywhere else I go to. Even to see my friends. But I mainly take her to open spaces with lesser animals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like how dogs treat an open gate as a reason to run into the outside world and explore, Nala has flown away just to sit on a tree and even get stuck on it once. Narrating some such incidents, Keiran said, \u201cI stood under the tree waiting for five hours just waiting for her to come down. She once flew up into a tree and got herself stuck. I had to climb a 60-feet ladder, cut some branches of the tree and get her down carefully. I\u2019ve been through some near misses with her. But she\u2019s only a baby and is still learning.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/05\/Nala-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/05\/Nala-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/05\/Nala-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/05\/Nala-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/05\/Nala-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/05\/Nala-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/05\/Nala-1400x787.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/05\/Nala.jpg 1890w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/05\/Nala-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/05\/Nala-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/05\/Nala-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/05\/Nala-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/05\/Nala-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/05\/Nala-293x165.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/05\/Nala-1400x787.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/intercardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/05\/Nala.jpg 1890w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Nala strikes a pose when a camera points at her<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nala is about two years old and is still growing. While she\u2019s fully grown to her size, her feathers are still developing. \u201cIn a couple of months, she\u2019ll be fully black with a whole new set of feathers. The ones below her tail right now are new. It is a process that these birds follow. They keep plucking the old ones out and re-growing new ones every few months\u201d, said Keiran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lifespan of a Harris hawk is about 20 years. According to the World Bank data of 2018, the average life expectancy of a man in the UK is about 81.26 years. So a hawk would live for about 25 percent of its human parent\u2019s life making this a long-term commitment. Talking about this, Keiran said, \u201cShe\u2019ll be with me for the rest of my life hopefully.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How different is having a Harris hawk as a pet in a place like Cardiff?
