--- Quote from: carly on April 29, 2010, 18:09 ---Speaking of captive bred falcons, I caught the tale end of a feature on BBC the other night. They were at a falcon breeding facility in Saudi Arabia and they were artificially inseminating the falcons. It was so weird, they had this huge tray - kind of like those large grey egg trays you sometimes see at farmers markets - and all the eggs had numbers written on them. It looked a bit like a falcon farm .... I wish I had seen the entire segment but I must say it struck me as strange to see them breeding them like that for sale to falconers. Which is what they said they were doing. I just always thought they bred them in pairs but I guess times have changed and they do AI now. Seems like a large market there for purchasing falcons.
--- End quote ---
Artificial insemination has/is used in our programs as well, I think when a bird has imprinted on humans ... The breeders use a hat to collect the semen - looks a bit like a cross between a tilley hat and one of those baby bibs with a trough at the bottom.

I for the first time saw one of the West Winnipeg Birds. I have no idea which one it was, but it left the roof of a building ... went south ... turned around and went to the other end of the same building it had been on.
