Every day is a good day for falconing.

I guess because falcons have to eat a lot and retail prices for mice are going through the roof.

My wife keeps her snakes fed with a combination of live mice from the local pet shop and frozen "pinkies" from a commercial supplier. When she was actively hunting with her big female Red Tail, the bird caught all it needed. The important part to remember is the hunting raptor needs to be fed and weighed daily to keep it at optimal hunting weight. Too much food and they fly away. Too little food and they aren't strong enough to hunt on their own. We haven't resumed keeping a raptor because both of us had too many commitments with our employment.
