Hi Cherane, My baby Hawk Head, Nikki, just turned a year old. His real name 
is Nikolai, named after a small town on the Iditarod sled dog trail. He is 
becoming a gifted talker. Any time I pass his cage he yells "want out." When 
I let him out he runs around the house yelling "out" "out." Its almost like 
he means Im free! Lately his thing is to ring like my cordless phone and then 
hold a conversation with hisself.  Nikki is not only banded, but is also 
micro chipped. I'm very impressed with his breeder. She went beyond what most 
breeders will do. I know she did not make a huge amount of money on the sale. 
Her main concern was a good home to someone who will breed this beautiful 
bird.  Did I mention that he was born in Fla. and flew to Alaska at the 
tender age of three months. And boy were his wings tired. Ha Ha!! The long 
distance was a concern of mine But he came through with not a problem.  I 
really have not heard of any stud books but would be interested. I do not 
know if his breeder is in any. She seems to keep a low profile. No 
advertising and so on.
Thanks for the name of your friend. I might give her a call. Does she sex her 
babies? The future holds a wife for Nikki.
                                     Nancy
