What eyes for a Saker Falcon?

[Ginger2000]

Pet Falcon that was given to me to mount.

CANNOT find eyes for it. Can't tell if the eyes (from photos online) are black or really dark brown so I have no idea what to go for, and I really don't want to pick the wrong eyes for this magnificent bird. :C
And yes I am licensed. I'm not that crazy

I'd recommend the Tohickon 115 Series.  It's a bird eye on a wire but it is actually made of different layers of glass to achieve the color.  This makes the brown color very deep.  No doubt you need a Dark Brown color.  The 115 is the eye of choice for competition bird woodcarvers for falcons.  These are people who spend 100 hours easily on one bird.  I'm not sure on the size but I'd wager to say its probably about a 12 to 14mm.

I think that falco does some of the best looking raptors that I have seen. Maybe send him a PM and ask what he uses?
