    Thanks for posting the video..

    love that coopxharris train.. would have enjoyed seeing it fly further and the flight style it had...

    anyone know if this bird is still alive or if that falconer has had any success with it?

    Why would you want to waste a good HH?

    I'm sure it was just a case of someone with an imprint and a hair up their butt..... I was thinking the same thing when I saw a picture of some peregrine/kestrel crosses the other day.

    Pretty cool video, though it's a shame that the narrator refers to falconry as "a blood sport" toward the end. Yet another reminder that, while it's cool to be on TV and all, you never know what the media will do with the footage without even thinking...

    Why would you consider that hybrid to be a waste of a HH? Just curious...

    I can think of all kinds of potential for that bird...being able to see it fly or watch it's hunitng style would have helped me form a better opinion of it but I personally would give one a go, heck, I'd even be tempted to try and make the hybrid myself...

    I just don´t understand why "falconers" sling their birds to trees or at quarry. In my view point, slinging a bird so it can catch something reflects a very por sportmanship and a bird whish isn´t muscled or well entered, point.
    Regarding the harrisXcooper hybrid, I´m VERY interested in producing one. I´m guessing the female was the Harris, but in my case, my imprint female is a coopers. What do you think?
    BTW, the video has been taken down, if anyone has a working link it would be much appreciated.
