Hood Video & Sizing Chart

Shop All Hoods

How to use this chart: Look at the sex and species of the hawk being fitted and notice that there will be a small range of sizes within the overall chart for this blocked hood that fit that particular hawk. Choose the size that will best fit your particular specimen. (ie: The female Harris' Hawk will be in a range from 55 to 61. Determine the species or size of your hawk relative to Harris' Hawks listed in the range.) The millimeter measurement that denotes the size of the hood block is a measurement of the widest part of the block and not a measurement of the hawk's head.

Note on Fitting Hoods:
We have done everything possible to come up with a chart for sizing your individual hawk, but no two hawks are exactly the same and some will simply be difficult to fit. We suggest ordering a few hoods, perhaps one on each side of the hood you choose, for a specific species and sex of hawk. Return the hoods that don't fit for a full refund once you've determined the correct size. Please review our Hood Return & Exchange Policy below.
