Day 1 Update

Weight: 812 grams (28.6424571 oz)
Fed: 1 Mouse, 1 Quail leg, 1 Quail liver (aprx 70 grams food)

I have been working with him every hour for 15 minutes. I pick him up, hood him and then let him sit hooded for about 1-30 minutes. Then I un-hood him and try to get him to eat. During the third of these sessions today he ate off the glove. I was using a gutted mouse to entice him to eat and eat he did. It took him 4-7 tearing bites before he finished eating the mouse!! I really can't believe how fast he did this, it's only been a day and my last 2 birds took at least 1-2 weeks to eat off the glove.

I can't tell you how excited I am to get this bird out flying!
