If you look on my website on the links page you will find Raptor Box there just click the link and you will divert to their site.
You could also try Martin Underwood at Falcon Fabrication tel 01782-396054 or martin@falconfabrication.fsnet.co.uk he has them on his list.

Well I'm going to try to make shelf perches this week, but what size should it be for a gyr/saker male and female? Can anybody help me in this?

Just the wooden plate's need some paint, will do this week :)

What you guy's think?

[BestBeagler]

Looks good the only thing that I am not so fond of is that I think the “shelf” is to large. I want my bird to be uncomfortable if he tries to stand on the perch like the peregrine is doing in the first photo. The only way my bird feels comfortable on his perch is if his tail is dropping over the shelf portion of the perch. Isaac

Very nice.

Can you tell me what the raised boards are designed to do? As apposed to leaving just the pea gravel?

[Sue&Steve]

building sm shelf perches what are the measurements of your shelfs

[Gunther]

Well I taked the meauserements of the book from nick fox frst but that looked a bit to big for me. The wide of the shelf is 35cm with me now but in the book is it 45 cm. and the length I taked 25 but in the book is it 22 so that I'm a bit over. Then the plates on the ground are 95 cm at 120 cm.

Yes I noticed that also already and I'm thinking of making the one for the peregrine a bit smaller, with the gyr/sakers I don't have this problem, probably because they are bigger :)
