After seven years in South Africa it was time to move our breeding operation back to the United Kingdom. After much searching we found the perfect location. a small farm in Dumfries and Galloway, on the border of Scotland and England. Remote enough to keep our falcons safe from disease, yet close enough for easy access from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Manchester.

Gyr-Tec is spearheaded by James Buttle, an experienced falconer and breeder. James has successfully produced falcons, hawks and eagles by natural and artificial insemination for many years, both in the United Kingdom and in South Africa.

At Gyr-Tec, the falcons are monitored twenty four hours a day. Our staff includes a veterinary surgeon who can provide all necessary care, including full blood work-ups, in breeding as well as working birds.

Our goal remains, as always: to breed large hunting falcons with good temperaments.
