Professional falconer, I chose to favour natural reproduction of raptors, meaning without insemination, to keep all the wild characteristics of these birds, although the birth rate can be low.

Favour quality over quantity !

That is why I initiated the project of building aviaries giving the birds a safe environment for nurturing their youngs.

Aviaries to build on my land.

The professional competence certificate in breeding raptors (administrative authorization) certify my experience.

I already acquired a land, the building permit and all the necessary authorizations.

Owner of couples of harris hawks, goshawks, golden eagles,American kestrel, european eagle owl and snowy owl, I have yet to provide them with the cozy nest they deserve.

Interested in contributing ?

The arrangement and size of the aviaries differ according to the species and their behaviour. All the aviaries will be equipped with cameras to monitor the behaviour between them, as well as follow the breeding and youngs nurturing. In the future, the project could be enhanced with the breeding of endangered species and the development in health center. The aviaries will mesure between 24 and 50 m², and will be built with Douglas wood cladding (for a longer lifetime), and the roof will be composed of steel shet metal for 1/3 and grid or net for the remaining 2/3. I wish to collect 5000€ to help me launch my project.

If the amount is exceeding the threshold, it will allow me to move my project forward a bit more quickly.

Some pictures of the species I wish to acquire first.
