Guest Anka Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 This is the mother of one of my pair (the male) and is a direct import from Mexico and this is her on her first pheasant,this pic was taken on the plains of Toledo just south of Madrid by the breeder of my pair.He also now has Bi Coloured hawks and ive my order in for these. Hello Berkutchi how are you. I'm very curious of who and were in Mexico did they import that Aplomado from. There is only one person in the entire Republic of Mexico that has succesfully hacth one egg of Aplomado and he still has the bird. I no that for a fact and still remember how big of a deal it was . Besides , there are only two legal registered breeders in Mexico , one in Monte Rey and one in Baja California. The one in Monte Rey thes not Breed Aplomados, and thes not even have any birds for sale of any kind at the moment. And the one in Baja California thes have several pares . But has not had any success yet, and couldn't legally sell any birds after the second year of his breeding Project if he had any. Let me no if you can I would like to no. Quote Link to post

Hello Anka :welcomeani: to the Forum. Me and a partner are always interested in Importing birds of any Interest provideing there are no restriction in place at the time, Black Sparrowhawks are high on the agenda but there are a good few other species we're considering! do you breed any birds yourself or have you any contacts who breed who may be Interested in exporting any birds to the UK?

Hywel 53 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Alot of the old stuff written would tell you that Merlins are only any good at this quarry in their first season and after become lazy and wanting, this is a total falasy! the guy I was talking about in the previouse post was flying a female a few years back called "Heidi", she was called this as she had a problem with one of her eyes and would hide her head under her wing when aproached, this bird started off pretty mediocre on Larks in its first season although personaly I think it was exagerated by a weight problem which then led to other problems like lack of confidence, anyway Rob persivered with her and each year she got better and better to the stage where should would speck out with the Lark totaly unsighted, the flight would normally start off with her cork screwing after the Lark when first slipped and finally standing off as they gained height, she was a clever girl and once she reached her ceiling would bank away from the Lark in wider circles giving it a wider birth and the oportunity to fold and drop for cover, this usualy worked and one hell of a stoop would develop, I'm not saying this Happend all the time as obvioulsy different quarry reacts in different ways, some flight was just straight tail chase rat hunts across the stubble but if the quarry took the turn to climb up and away a cracking flight was guranteed... The first edition "A Merlin For Me" is fetching some good money these days blaze1, its a cracking read. I had the first edition signed copy of "The Imprint Accipiter" for a few years but it did nothing for me as I don't fly Imprints, it finally fetched not far off £140 on Ebay :whistle: Good post Tony!

Cheers Jasper Thank you for the greetings. I don't have any birds that I could legally sell to you at the time. And in fact there are three registerd Breeders here in my country not two like I had mentioned before, But I could only contact you with the one in my state of Baja California for the time being. It would take me a while with the other two, but if your really interested I could start sending messages to see what they might have available. Cheers Quote Link to post
jasper65 6 Posted March 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 We're certainly Interested in Birds for the right price that we think there's a healthy market for Anka.... Quote Link to post

Regards Lance... Hello there Sorry I was under the impresion you might have been a young lad and friend that I use to speak to at another forum base in the USA , but his name was Richard. He also flys eagles, and uses the name Berkutchi. No need to send the pm I'm sure they did come from here. People have been elegally exporting bidrs from my country for a very long time. I would say that 95 % or more of the Superiori Harris hawks they fly so much in Europe today , came from here twenty, twenty five years ago. The USA population is very small and back then there was nobody breeding them comercialy in that country that I have found. Cheers Quote Link to post
Berkutchi 0 Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Hi Anka is this Richard in LIncolnshire to?,if so i have spoken to him twice in person and he has a small male Goldie,but i dont know if he ever catches anything with it personally . :whistle: Quote Link to post
jasper65 6 Posted March 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 There is a young lad out Lincolnshire who brought in a Goldie last year called Richard Meldrum, this could well be the guy your're talking about...... Quote Link to post
Berkutchi 0 Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 There is a young lad out Lincolnshire who brought in a Goldie last year called Richard Meldrum, this could well be the guy your're talking about...... Yes thats him as in Victor Meldrew Quote Link to post
jasper65 6 Posted March 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Yes thats him as in Victor Meldrew He had a Imprint Finn x German female off me a couple of seasons ago for a breeding project! he sold it last year as he didn't like its aggression towards him in the breeding season, I would have taken that as a very good sign she's coming into condition, if anyone wants to see some aggression they should come and see my Imprint Gos's this time of the year.....
