Presley Tall Perches

I've put together some photos on the Presley style tall perches.  I have used these perches for about 30 years.  I NEVER leave the hawk's un-attended on them.  But, the 'jump up' effect of these perches really help keep hawks fit.  Red-tails and Harris' Hawks take to them readily and learn very quickly on them.
