That would be great if you could don't know anyone local to me who fly's birds and the ones that do won't  share the knowledge ,you would think it was illegal the way nobody wants to help a newbie get started lol

It’s not that  mate it’s people are just a on the back foot when it comes to new people as birds can get pinched  / deliberately released Or end up on some anti sites making out the sport is barbaric etc etc ..... plus bird men are a special kinda weird lol I’ll drop him a pm and see what he says .

@Moorman 1

Will you be able to breed from your hybrid falcon, seeing as there's three species/types already in her, and would it have to be A I?

Cracking thread, by the way

Most of the hybrid/tribreds are infertile they are usually done by AI. But I know of natural pairings that have clicked,although fertility is usually low.

Thank you

Thanks for the reply mate.

Still can't really get my head round how they can do that, when all I've read says different lol. 

Anyway, that falcon of yours certainly looks well worth breeding from, if it's possible.

Wish I had the time to get into it all. Like I said, this is a cracking thread

Thanks I appreciate it.

Yes some of the breeding information is variable as it's not an exact science, where hybrids are concerned.
