"Kes wa fat as a pig though at first. All young hawks are when you first start to train 'em, and you can't do much wi' 'em until you've got their weight down. You've got to be ever so careful though, you don't just starve 'em, you weigh 'em before every meal and gradually cut their food down, till you go in one time and she's keen, an' thats when you start getting somewhere."
