Re: Playing Catch

awsome to hear its quite widely seen! a few days of doing this with my Sav seems to have given him allot more confidence around me, even when he was eating a mouse on my arm he wasnt half as relaxed as he is now - i am sure its more than just catching prey from the air, i think he is preempting me throwing it, because he opens his mouth and looks straight at me, as soon as my arm starts to move, before i throw the food

he hasnt caught one yet tho lol going to try with some pieces of fish later

interesting, did you use any particular technique to train it, or was it spontaneous? given me some ideas anyway!
