Note 590 — Chapter XXXVII · TRAINING THE PASSAGE SAKER TO COMMON HERON[580]

It is not necessary to tie meat on the heron’s back even for a saker, and most certainly not necessary when the hawk has already been flown at purple herons or night-herons. However, sakers are not spoilt by being given many trains as are peregrines: they do not easily become what Indians call bā,ūlī-band or “train-bound.” No matter how or where a train is given, hawks at once recognize that it is not an ordinary wild bird.
