And for those of you who may have a strange aversion to kangaroo.....
Good, strong calf jesses, cut from tan calf leather or chrome tanned black cowhide. You want small size? Hard luck, 'cos it's too thick for small sizes, so......
XLarge and Eagle Sizes - Strangely enough these calf jesses are also cut from calf leather. Extra large will be approx. 1.5mm thick calf and Eagle sizes will be 1.5 - 2mm thick.
Please view the sizing chart at the top of this page to select the appropriate size for your bird.
Complete system comprises aluminium or brass bullets, polypropylene jesses, stainless steel sampo style swivel and one metre leash. PLEASE NOTE: The size of the eyelet used on the anklets is the important factor when deciding on what bullet jess size you require.
Cut from cowhide or kangaroo, these jesses attach directly to the aylmeri eyelet and remain in place for ease of catching up a loose bird and to do away with changing of jesses in the field, and the eternal problem of a lost jess whilst out hunting. These are usually made on the long side to be cut to length.
Small size - 2mm, medium size - 3.5mm, large size - 5mm
All leashes are approximately 42 inches long.
Colours may vary, with the majority being olive green or black but most small size leashes are in fluorescent colours - actually very useful for spotting leashes dropped in long grass!
Single and Double swivel clip leashes in black polypropylene. Ideal for field use when a bird needs to be kept securely on the fist between slips or when carrying between locations. Single is approx. 3' long Double is approx. 2' long. Can be supplied shorter if required.
Yeah, I know it shows a photo of the double leash but drop your head onto your shoulder, put your hand over one eye and look again..... a single clip leash! Damn, we're good.
Stainless steel, highly polished swivels 'D' shape. Finest qualityBRITISH MADEpolished stainless with immense strength and durability.BRITISHmade (have I made my point?) to last a lifetime! NOTE: By the way, did I mention they areBRITISH MADE?
Cast chrome LURE swivels. I've seen these passed off as stainless and being sold at £5.00 each. These are NOT stainless and NOT suitable for use in tethering birds unless you like to live dangerously - that's why they're cheap.
Screw closing, small brass or nickel identification tube with split ring, cable tie for fixing to aylmeri, weatherproof sleeving and instructions. Weight is just 2 grammes. (1/14th of an ounce)
All our aylmeri are cut to fit individual birds. None of this 'well it'll be close enough' attitude!
Each pair are cut from black cow hide, tanned calf or kangaroo dependent upon size and width and will require a closing tool. Eyelets are not supplied....they just look better in the photo!
IMPORTANT: All aylmeri are cut to be as accurate a fit as possible, so please state bird species in the comments section of the order form. I know I'm good but I'm not bleedin' psychic ;-)
For sizings - please refer to the sizing chart at the top of this page. (As a quick guide - Spar/Kes/Barn Owl = small, most falcons = medium, male & female Harris/most other hawks = large, eagle owls/eagles = extra large or eagle!)
Again cut from kangaroo, calf or cow hide dependent upon size. Fitted with closed eyelet and brass rivets for easy closing with pliers. No closing tool required. All aylmeri are cut to fit specific birds, so please state species and sex - the bird that is, not you. One character sent his order form in with 'Man' and 'Yes please' under these headings!
I'm proud to say that these are now being copied by many other suppliers........so they must be good! But mine are still the original and best......I would say that wouldn't I ?
For sizings - please refer to the updated sizing chart at the top of this page. (As a quick guide - Spar/Kes/Barn Owl = small, most falcons = medium, male & female Harris/most other hawks = large, eagle owls= extra large)
Quite simply the best American bells that money can buy by Dave Noble. Dual metal construction nickel silver/brass or bronze/brass giving a beautiful clear tone that carries a long distance.
Reference numbers indicate bell size. I.e., NB0 is a size zero - v. small NB5 is a small medium, NB7 a large medium and NB13 is bloody big - get the idea?
What price do you put on locating an 'out-of-sight' bird?
Other suppliers won't tell you that all Lahore bell sizes cost the same to buy in, therefore we sell all sizes at the same price. Let's keep it our secret........
P.S. There is one dozy dick advertising these bells as being made of steel. They're actually made of brass with a silver finish. I just thought we'd clear that up so you know what you're buying.
Invaluable for protecting your birds tail when travelling, tethered or in the field on a kill. Made from hardwearing and washable green or black Cordura with velcro fastening and fitted with a steel spring clip for attachment to tail mount as standard.
Also available with a leather patch with bell slit - please state in comments section of order if the bell slit is required.
Small - Spar, small falcons etc.
Large - Harrises, M. Gos. Redtails, Ferruginous, large falcons etc.
You want to leg mount (this is starting to sound sordid!) your telemetry transmitter? You're fed up with attaching it by cable tie and then cutting it off again later? This is your saving grace. Attach the transmitter permanently to the toggle loop and put the bullet through the anklet eyelet. Job done! Do you have a miserable sod for a neighbour? Do the words "Can't you shut those bloody bells up?" sound familiar? These bullet toggles can also be used with bells so that they can be removed when your bird is in the aviary and the miserable git next door is in his garden. Are we good to you people or what?
Sizes relate to the anklet eyelet size. Price is for ONE toggle not a pair.
Let's set the scene....you're out hawking with your mates and somebody's bird disappears. Off goes the falconer, with radio, in search of his/her bird and is later able to contact the rest of the group to see which pub they buggered off too when it got too cold. This of couse does not happen in the south east as we're all far too hard!!!
Seriously though, this is simply the easiest method of communication between a group when you split up for ANY reason. Simple to use, it comes with full instructions.
