Hello Steve109

 

I have had total social Imprint spars breed naturally and probably bred better than the rest, But I don't think I can class them as Unimprinted, I have heard birds going the other way which are totally P/R standing for AI but never heard of a bird being Unimprinted, I have no idea if it can be done fully! the feedback I get with Imprints that once the seed is sown thats it, I'm sure there's alot of guys out there though who knows different.

 

Cheers

falcons are MOST deffinatly the easiest , how do you think hybrids and tribrids are produced ?,. you dont inseminate with a cattepult :11:

I thought the question asked was Once a falcon is imprinted can it be un- imprinted?

Like jasper says a parent reared bird can become imprinted but to reverse this process got to be no!

I have a Lannerette was parent reared & became imprinted & produced seaman at 4 yrs of age.

Seen plenty of Imprints made either aggressive for food or screams constantly ,theres more to imprinting

a falcon than some people think & best to imprint your own . Why would you want to un-imprint bird ??

if a falcon has been imprinted from berth it is hard/impossible to reverse , accipiters,spars in paticular seem to benifitt from imprinting , all the falcons i have imprinted over the last 25 years have been for breeding as sociable imprints, so we have never had need to reverse the work done,.

My thoughts are the same as yours John 5

I must try this Catapult method John if it works! I see in your other post you social Imprint your birds for AI, Personally I can't see the point of going through the Myva of socializing a bird unless you're going to fly it, all my Imprints that I have done myself are full on food Imprint reared this way from day one! they're not for flying by any standard but they bond to me like they would with a gennuine mother feeding them until they fledge, I never reduced these birds in weight for any reason, useing this method I have had first year Goshawks give semen and two year old Peregrines stand! I'm not saying that a social bird would perhaps be any different but I can't see the point in making a social Imprint for breeding unless you're going to fly it?

 

This is a first year Gos coming into condition and copulateing with my Hand and a two year old Pere standing.
