For Sale

This immature dark female Peales x Gyr-Saker from 2010 is for sale. Her father is my Pealestiercel "Joeson", her mother a Gyr x Saker female. Her weight when taken out of the pen was 1250 grams. She nearly looks like a female Peales peregrine.

For Sale

This immature female gyr x peregrine from 2010 is for sale. Her father is a dark grey jerkin bred by Bob Creese out of an Iceland mother and a black jerkin. The mother is one of my self-bred peregrine females. This hybrid seems to become quite dark on the back. Some small feathers on the back are already moulted.

"Bigfoot"

Here two photos of one of my favorite peregrines. I think the pictures explain very well why I named her "Bigfoot"!

Immature Red-naped Shaheens from 2009

Some photos of my self-bred RNS. My birds are usually very pale with few markings. One female did not even have markings on the trousers. Note the relatively huge feet!

Red-naped Shaheen x Aplomado Tiercel

Here an update on my RNS x Aplomado hybrids. The photos show some tiercels in immature plumage.

Imprinted Female Peales x Calidus from 2010

Shown on these photos is "Zilli", my female peales x calidus. I think this cross of falcons has the biggest feet. Zilli has a very easy-going nature and started courtshipping before she was hard-penned. The photo proves it.

For Sale: Iceland gyr x aplomado tiercel

These photos show the first of my two Iceland gyr x aplomado tiercels I bred in 2010. I sold one and I fly the other one. His flying weight is around 500 grams. He has a very amazing flight style. He can change the speed within milliseconds. He approches his target slowly and suddenly a burst of speed and a grab of his long legs and the chase is over. During flight he can flip on his back with the tail in the direction of the flight and grab targets above him. He can do the same thing from a standing position, i.e jumping into the air, flipping on his back and grabing things up to one metre above the ground. I hope that I can breed a female soon for the bigger stuff like crows.

"Krafi", Joe´s granddaughter

Here sits "Krafi", a granddaughter of my famous pealestiercel "Joe" bred by Joe Taggart. Her father is the pealestiercel "Joeson" and her mother a peregrine out of the well-known crowhunting line of Jürgen Schuster and Kurt Fessler. What is amazing with this medium-sized peregrine (hunting weight about 900 grams)is the fact that she has two pure white feathers exactly at the same place as her grand-father "Joe". In Joe´s adult plumage they are more difficult to see but after some searching it should be possible to find them. A photo of Joe can be seen in the peales section.

Pealestiercel "Joe"

These photos show "Joe", the first and best peales tiercel I ever imported from North America. He is the founder of my peales line. Nearly all my peales and peales crosses are related to him. He was bred by Joe Taggart out of a tiercel of his famous "A-Pair" and a female Aleutian peales he got from Fidel de la Torre. He was born in 1991, I got him in Spring 1995 and he lived till 2008 in my breeding facility. On one photo you can see "Joe" together with his breeder Joe Taggart. This photo will give you an idea about his size.
His son "Joeson", bred in 2001, is still the main stud bird of my facility.

Nelly

The falcon on the photos is "Nelly", my female peales x gyr-saker tribrid I bred in 2009. On this photo it is quite evident that her grand-father was 50% Aleutian peales. The heavy markings come from him. Her flying weight is between 1080 and 1200 grams.

Peales peregrines

These pics show a tiercel and a female peales peregrine I bred in 2009.

Red-naped shaheen x Aplomado Hybrids

On the photos one can see my first two red-naped shaheen x aplomado hybrids I bred in 2009. They are very colourful birds with strong feet and long toes. The bird in the front is a female, the shy one behind her is its brother. The aplomado in the background is their mother. I bred a black gyrsaker x aplomado as well that I will show on my site when he is hard-penned. There are already some photos of him as a young chick.

Female white shaheen

This is one of my young female white shaheens of this year. Very pale bird with white dots in the neck, a small malar stripe and a strong beak.

Austrian peregrines

On these photos you can see some of my Austrian peregrines in adult and immature plumage. The birds of this line are rather pale with a brownish grey back in adult plumage with a cream coloured front and small markings. Compared to their body size they have big feet. They have an easygoing nature and are suited for waiting-on flights as well as for crow hawking. Average flying weight for a female is about 850 grams and 580 grams for a male.

Red-naped shaheen x grey gyr-saker from 2008

2008 I was fortunate to breed some of this interesting hunting birds. I bred the first one in 2007 and was very pleased with her performance. The females should weigh around one kilo, the tiercels around 700 grams. They have a very stocky build and a powerful flight.

Red-naped Shaheens for sale

I have some young red-naped shaheens for sale each year. The photos show adult birds of this line.

Dark Peregrines

On the photos there are two sisters of dark peregrines from 2006 and 2007 shown, one in immature plumage, the other one in adult plumage. They are small sized peregrines best suited for waiting-on flights on game.

Red-naped Shaheen x Aplomado

On the photo you can see my first red-naped shaheen x aplomado hybrid. It´s the one with the golden down in my hand. The grey chick is a black gyr-saker x aplomado hybrid, the others are red-naped shaheen x gyr-saker hybrids.

Black gyr-saker x aplomado hybrid

On the photo you can see the first aplomado-tribrid, in this case a black gyr-saker x aplomado. The father is a 1100 gr. black gyr-saker hybrid, the mother an aplomado falcon. This bird was bred in 2009.
