Harris hawks stolen from Sion Hill Hall.

[Cranfield]

Posted on behalf of a friend;

 

As you may have heard in the local press, 5 Harris Hawks were stolen on the night of the 10th March 2009 from Sion Hill Hall Birds of Prey and Conservation Centre, Thirsk.

 

5 Harris Hawks in total;

4 males and 1 female (this included a breeding pair).

 

Everyone at the centre is really truly gutted about it but our main priority is having the birds safely returned, as they mean alot to us.

 

The birds are used for demonstrations, hawk walks and courses and are not hunting birds which the thieves may be trying to sell them as.

 

One of the males has a distinctive eyebrow and a lump on his leg, just above the leather anklet.

 

If anyone has any information (i.e. have been offered the birds cheaply with no-questions asked) or any information at all please feel free to contact me at the centre on;

 

01845 587 522 / mail@falconrycentre.co.uk

 

or call North Yorkshire Police on 0845 60 60 24 7

 

or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111

 

Thank you very much

 

Hopefully we can have the birds returned safe and sound soon,

Thanks for that I have passed the information on to one of my mates in the North-East who is a keen Falconer.
