When it stands on one leg with the eyes closed (²Ô¾±³¾Ä«±ô²â²¹) [netre ²Ô¾±³¾Ä«±ô²â²¹], when it preens or â€� reformsâ€� its feathers, when it ‘mantlesâ€� with its wings, or looks with a gentle eye at its master, then it is known to be ‘mannedâ€�, otherwise not. When the hawk is seen to be manned it should be lured in a creance to a piece of meat from increasing distances. [...]â€�.
