Barbary and Red-Nape Shaheens

HOME  FALCONS

Most of our Barbary falcons originate from Saudi Arabia and a few from the  Yemen. These compact falcons have proved to be ideal little game hawks particularly for partridges. The males can be used with great success with  ‘ waiting-on flights’ at starlings and similar sized birds. All Barbary falcon  production at present is accomplished via artificial insemination, although  several young pairs, from new bloodlines are maturing. Seven un-related bloodlines are now represented across the Sixteen individuals kept for breeding so we are able to supply you with un-related  pairs if you are purchasing with future breeding in you mind.

Although we produce a small number of Red-Nape Shaheens  annually, due to this species being rare within captivity at  the present time, we prefer not sell them for falconry at this moment in time. Exchanges for new blood lines will be given  priority. Five un-related bloodlines are now represented  from the seven individuals which we have at present. We  would like to hope that within the next 4-5 years we will have a self sustaining population and that the red-napes  future in falconry will be assured.

All our Barbary and Red-Nape Shaheens can be traced back to the original wild stock. We are also producing Gyr hybrids from both species of falcon, but our priority is to produce pure wherever possible.
