Female grey gyr x kestrel hybrid



Female grey gyr x kestrel hybrid from 2005. We bred European peregrine x kestrel hybrids as well. This year we will inseminate the female kestrel with semen from a red-naped shaheen. We are curious to see the size and colour of such a cross!

Dark peregrine tiercel



One of my very dark peregrines tiercels. Some have a dark orange front, this one has a grey-violet front. They all have very long fingers.

Peales x Gyr-Saker Tiercel


Unlike his older brother from 2006, who looked like an immature female prairie falcon, this peales x gyr-saker tiercel from 2007 looks like his father, a peales tiercel I bred myself in 2001. One of his sisters from the same year even looked like a black gyr hybrid. With birds like that you never know how they will look like, but I like the surprise!

Barbary Cross


This photo shows a tiercel peregrine x barbary cross that a friend of mine bred last year. Unfortunately he lost this bird. Was a nice waiting-on bird.

Immature Aplomados

"Carlito"





My tiercel Aplomado falcon when he was still a baby in 2005. Today "Carlito" was courtshipping the whole day.
