Falconry
School
Falcon
breeding courses (from April to June)
Falcons are wild
animals and breeding them in aviaries is much
more complicated than breeding domesticated
animals such as chickens or dogs.
In our course we present all aspects of
breeding, from the composition of the future
parents to the rearing of the young falcons.
We teach using our breeding pairs and in our
breeding rooms, but also with practical
exercises with our falcon chicks:
- Selection and
keeping of breeding pairs
- Equipment and
aviary
- Breeding room
and incubators, or natural brood
- Handling and
hatching eggs
- Rearing and
handling falcon chicks
- Rearing the
young falcons until they fledge
No previous
knowledge is necessary for this course!
