    Hello everyone

    I am looking for someone who has a successful breeding project preferably with black vultures but would consider turkey or griffon vultures !!

    Looking for an unrelated pair !!

    Or does anyone know any specialist magazines that offer for sale breeds of animals to zoo parks ?

    Regards

    Paul

    Remarks:
    1) Zoochat is not a animal dealing site.

    2) If you are bona fide, you might wish to contact the EAZA/EEP Species coordinators for griffon and black vultures. However, you require a stated interest in participating in the European captive-breeding and reintroduction programmes they are running.

    Bizarre !!

    Didnt think it was an animal dealing site at all.........

    Thought it was all about conservation and protection of species for all.

    That is certainly what I am all about.......

    I very much am "bona fide" and take exception to people who may think otherwise wether well informed or in your case obviously not !!

    Regards

    Paul

    If Noah's Ark Zoo Farm want vultures perhaps they should pray for some! (sorry for being cheeky but I couldn't resist I'm certainly not a fan of that place!)

    You should try researching a bit more. Elsewhere Falconer claims to have "62 various falcons and eagles, two springer spaniels, 3 lads and a wife !!" and is based in London. Seems more likely the guy wants the animals for his own collection rather than being "undercover" for Noah's.

    good one bloodycurtus :D

    Doubt it would be Noahs (suprised they have to stoop so low as to pose as a zoo enthusiast) - Hope not anyway!

    Sorry Paul,

    I was not suggesting that you were not bona fide. However, on your profile there is no info on your trade, interests or anything else, so how could I know more than I know already.

    The very fact that I did advise you to contact the relevant EEP/EAZA people working with European vultures implies I do know a little more than the average person on comings and goings within EAZA. Their main office is in my hometown and I hold every Yearbook since 1991 and subscribe to their Zoo Assoc. magazine.

    However, birds that are part of the conservation breeding programme are cooperatively owned and it is a contra dictio in terminis that birds be sold to third parties. One is expected to participate and subscribe to the guidelines and criteria for participation in their conservation breeding programmes.

    Being interested in background, I would like to hear what your collection is all about. What species do you keep? How long have you operated? What kind of breeding/hatching/rearing success have you had?

    I look forward to you sharing your thoughts and tribulations on birds of prey and conservation too!

    K.B.

    What and break the long standing joke with zoo enthusiasts that CAPS actually has a silent R between the C and A because most of what they say is just CRAP!!!

    I shouldn`t worry about they have not had the bottle to sign back in yet,but I suspect they may well me watching,from my past dealings with these muppets they just cannot give a reasoned argument for there rubbish any way,and on top of that the last one I had a chat with couldn`t get his head round that his pet dog was no different to a zoo animal.
