I love falconry, and have owned a variety of pets, from lizards to birds of prey to dogs and cats.

, which makes the red-knee a sort of heirloom pet - you can pass your spider onto your children, if you want. Most of these spiders are very docile, and can be held fairly easily - although they don't love it, and if you hold them too frequently or too roughly, you'll soon be covered with rashes from your tarantula's urticating hairs. <br><br>There are some difficulties with the Mexican red-knees. First, if the spider is vexed, it'll frequently shoot urticating hairs (bristles that cause irritating reactions on the skin). If you know you're very sensitive to urticating hairs, don't go for a Mexican red-knee, as they are extremely prone to using these as a weapon. Second, these are burrowing tarantulas. My spider spent a lot of time in a den he dug, which made him slightly less fun for kids.){kind=link}
 would catch the slowest, smallest, and stupidest of the bunnies, but even that was rare. Their preferred method of finding prey is 'still hunting': sitting on a post to look for food. Falconers mimic this behavior by putting their buzzard on a long pole and then carrying around the pole. Buzzards will use also wind-hovering to find their prey. They are comfortable searching for beetles and earthworms by walking around on the ground. Their ability to choke down whatever they find makes the common buzzard a very easy bird to feed. <br><br>The buzzard is more friendly then other birds, probably because buzzards don't usually have to fight for their prey, which makes them great for people who don't have tons of experience in falconry.){kind=link}
