That first bird looks really similar to my girl 👍

[@heritagefalconry-andywelsh]

Yes definate likeness both size and plumage. The mother was Greta (Buteoides) and father was Paul(Siberian Albidus) from Joergs original lines.

@@heritagefalconry-andywelsh my bird is a 2013 jorg freye siberian buteoides she was imported here in 2016 thats as much as i no my mate flew her last year at rabbits hares pheasants and she done well il fly her hard this season coming then breed from her and fly a female from clutch 👍

[@TariqAli-kr4vw]

Nice to see the hawks sir how do you train the hawk for copulation? I have a female sparrowhawk and want her to lay eggs from a male goshawk . Is it possible sir? And can I transfer eagle's semen to her?

[@heritagefalconry-andywelsh]

Hi Tariq, Copulation is the response from the male as a result of human courtship eg, flying the bird,feed bond - food passing and basically copying how the female will react to the male in the wild including the mating calls.if you look at my hybrid project video you will see I bred gos x spar a few years ago now but very difficult to produce females. Hope this helps.

@@heritagefalconry-andywelsh thanks a lot sir I got the idea it depends on a strong bond between falconer and bird
