I've known a few healers, however none of them were hunters. It's not in their blood. Now you might find one that will chase birds for ya, but I wouldn't hold your breath. It wouldn't hurt to try her/him on some pigeons, they are easy to come by, and no real loss when they fly away. For less than 10 bucks you will be able to tell if it has any hunt drive in it or not.
