Abstract:Through socialization a pair bond between a man and a male prairie falcon (Falco mexicanus) was established when the falcon was 11 months old and producing viable semen voluntarily. Females were inseminated by manually everting the oviduct. Healthy normal offspring were produced from 5 females as a result of semen collected from this male.
