Peregrine/Lanners

[Game & Pursuit Falcon UK]

Just a question about Peregrine/Lanner falcons. A few years ago I remember people having them left in pens after christmas unsold. Looking around however, and talking to about mine people they again seam to be under produced when compaired to demand. Anyone got any views?

[Tim Laycock]

They seem to be in fashion at the moment

Spot on first game falcons though BB. Easier to get to mount and position accurately. Dare I say it, I think that there brighter than Peregrines.

People seemed to have finally noticed what smashing hybreds these birds are.

seams funny as the demo lads have known there crackin for years. LOL!!!

[Pogger]

If people spent more time looking at the shape of birds instead of being obcessed with size, colour or the newest most fashionable thing they would have seen some fairly obvious things sooner. :wink:

Amen to that, your deffinately singing from the same song sheet as me on that one. Take Pere/Prairies for instance.

I realise this Karl,
(This will no doubt upset somebody :rolleyes: )
I think they are now seen as the ideal first longwing but the X Harrishawker/would be Gamehawker

Nothing wrong with that of course, They probably are!!!

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Would you care to explain the biology behind this curious statement?

[Game & Pursuit Falcon UK]

Im sure Kav means that some hybrids that are fifty/fifty crosses sometimes show more of one parent in appearance and flight style than the other. I have personally witnessed this to a great degree in Peregrine/Sakers.

[Merger]

Yes thats exactly what I mean, dominence of genes will go one way or another, two hybryd syblings, will be like chalk and cheese,, never mind 7/8 and 1/5 3/4 splices!! to the other, this country is a little easier for a predator, than Africa!!

[LeighJauncey]

My point was really that any offspring resulting from sexual reproduction inherits 50% of its' genes from each parent which the original statement seemed to contradict. Siblings will always have a different combination of genes owing to the fact that every sperm and egg has a unique set of alleles which will obviously be even more apparent in hybrids. It gets more complicated, giving rise to greater variation, where genes are co-dominant or where characteristics are controlled by multiple alleles each of which may show dominance/recessiveness etc etc........

My first one of the season is half way to being out the shell after pip. anyone fly imprint Pere/Lanners?

But not as Deadly :o

Granted. But far easier for the novice longwinger to train to mount and serve efficiently.

my self have never flown a Pere X Lanner seen quite a few and they do look loyal my first falcon was a Saker (imprinted by me) I then had a female Pere X Saker which was a good hawk.
