Hi guys any advise. I got a 6 year old gyr he makes a scrape, food pass and jumps on hat but won't donate.
I know a guy who had a Peregrine and he had to manually strip the semen from the bird.
I know some one who's done that too. This bird jumps off the hat and drycopleate on blockQuote:

I agree. Fly him. Unless he can kill grouse with his semen...Quote:

So is he copulating on the hat? or trying to? ...or just jumping to it?Quote:

Maybe try this a couple times over several days and it might push him over the edge to copulating on the hat... or he might just be ready this year anyway.
Thanks for the info guys
