no, I am actually asking what should vegterians feed a baaj/hawk without going against their own ethics?

How about forgoing the need to keep a hawk altogether? Just seems like so much mental effort for what should be a quite simple process. If a vegetarian Sikh has latched onto the feeling of wanting to keep a hawk as a pet, for the sake of the hawk - a living creature that requires way more specialist treatment compared to a domesticated animal / pet - I'd suggest the Sikh in question drops the idea of keeping one. It's obviously beyond their intellectual and emotional maturity. Buy a pigeon and feed it birdseed... or rotiya.

Let it hunt. Take it to a farm and let it hunt the mice and gophers. Perhaps like snakes, once they've fed they are full for a week or so. 

The trouble will be if it hunts on its own, why would it come back to the human? Also baaj are trained by feeding them Maas diya Botiyan.  I think even after training it might need to be fed to reward ot and keep it coming back.

Good points!

Also a very young or baby baaz has to be fed until it learns to hunt.

I personally think that vegetarianism is pakhand.

Its like communism.

Nice to read and listen to.

But cannot be practically implemented in the world.

Can you also tell why Baba Gurditta ji hunted?

Bhai Randhir Singh ji ( a great soul and I feel his books to be amazing) has written that eating meat is bajjar kurehit. He says Guru Sahib hunted to liberate animals.

But why Baba Gurditta ji hunted?

What has being vegetarian got to do with anything? You are not eating meat, the bird is because its natural to the bird, if it bothers you so much get a budgie and feed it bird seeds.

Nice video mentioning similarities between baaz behaviour and Khalsa.

There is one more similarity.

Hawks live in every continent.

They live in deserts, mountains, coastal regions , grasslands, forests etc.

Similarly Khalsa can live anywhere and rule the entire earth.

I know Naamdharis aren’t proper, but they used to beat people up for killing animals, if you’re trying to say vegetarians are pacifists, that’s not exactly right.
