Taima the Hawk ?????

[pmedic920]

Man I'd really love to get a picture with him/her. I've seen many pix around with fans and him/her.
Anybody know how to get this done or can make it happen?
I would be eternally in your debt.

Edit:blitz would be cool too.

He was at camp a few summers ago. We got our pictures taken with him.

Last year, the bird owner visited some venue (I think in Spokane) and my nephew was photographed with the raptor. Uploaded it to his facebook page. Maybe I can find it.

Wife and I will be at the GreenBay game.

Oh...you wanna be dinner??? I dont think Taima likes mustaches for dinner. :twisted:

Last year Taima and his handler were wandering around inside the convention center at Century Link before the game allowing people to pet AND have pictures taken with him. That might be your best bet to get up close and personal with "The Hawk"! He is absolutely beautiful!!

I recall okung ? with it after the nfc title game on the field, saying mom.. mom ... get a picture of this or something like that .

Was great, like a big kid I thought at the time.

It was Okung. He also commented on how heavy Taima is. He must be one heavy bird if Okung said that.

Wait till after the game starts, they will hand taima off to another caregiver who goes through the main concourse to go wherever they go after kick off
Got some great pics of my son and taima
Good luck

Sit in lower Sec 139, usually see the handler with Taima and walking around our sideline during the game, coming over and taking pictures with fans. Depending on where your seats are if they're low, keep an eye out. Could very well catch them then. However, first game could be a bit different this time around!

 

[NorthDallas40oz]

Just curious, is there any story or meaning behind the name Taima?

"Taima the Hawk. Named by Seahawks fans, Taima (which means "thunder")"

I found this while looking for contact info. Thought y'all might find it interesting.

Edit: I'm having trouble finding an email for the handler. If any of you have it or know a way to obtain it please PM me.
His name and his wife's name are all over the WWW so I'm guessing it's ok to post it. David J. Knutson wife Robin. Spokane Wa.

 

[pmedic920]

Update:
I've been in contact with David, Taima's owner/handler.
As of now, my chances are very good that I get my picture.

They seem to be really nice people and am sure they will help if they can.

They live in Medical Lake, Wa. I believe which is about 10 miles from Spokane.

When I went to TC this summer Taima was there. I took a selfie with the bird--it's one of my favorite pics of the summer. I suspect you can do it again next year if you can get in on the first weekend of TC.
