Perches

[Sokoly]

Can someone please post a photo of there natural breeding chambers. I am wandering what is the best location of the perches for a pair of peregrines.I have seen a lot of different set ups, but what is in your opinion the best for the pair?

Thank's

I am not really the expert, imprints is more my thing.
Terry will probably give you better advice, but the tiercel seem to prefer the highest perch in the aviary, so make sure they are not positioned so that he ore she mute straight in to the nest shelf, food hatch or where the bath is placed, also always remember that most breeding birds have a "favourit copulation perch" (often the nest shelf) and so you need to take in to concideration that the perches and the nest shelf is not so high so they cant copulate freely on it. If the aviarys are high you will need a "perch to perch" system for the female to be able to get to the nest shelf even when she is heavy and just about to lay an egg.
Hope this helped a bit?

Thanks for your reply, What is "perch to perch"? How should I position them in the covered part of the aviary/chamber so they don't make a mass in the nest, and on the other side are safe so the bird don't hurt their wings in some kind of panic flight.???

Thanks again
