These two are the new breeding pair of Augur Buzzards, less commonly known as African Red Tailed Hawks.

The larger of the two is the female, named Queen Latifah, I have yet to give her a nickname. She's not too friendly around people, and is quite a prideful bird.

The smaller is the male, which I can't seem to remember his name, he doesn't have a nickname either, though I call him Dinky in joke occasionally XP He's quite talkative, and used to be used at a zoo to fly over people's heads.

I'm hoping they'll lay their eggs this coming autumn ^^ No promises but if there are babies, I'll try and get some photos.

i forgot to carry on what i was saying about your birds haha, you have quite a few, its really hard to get augur buzzards in england so not fair, otherwise id buy one straight away! i only have one bird living with me at the moment, and thats chalkie my harris hawk haha, i work at a falconry centre though and i work with quite a range of birds haha, i work with a white headed vulture called Daisy (unfortunate for me cause its my name too!) , a saker/gyr falcon called itchy, a raven called spike, umm who else... oh yeah, a peregrine falcon called harvey, i dont like training these cause theyre too fast when i swing the lure haha, and they hit it with such impact! storm the harris hawk, a cape vulture called oscar, and my favourite of all time(go look in my gallery youll see her) the bateleur eagle called nugget, she is such an angel, shes lovely, we've had a new bird, shes an african fish eagle, but im not working with her for a few weeks cause since i flew ellie and murphy the other day(two bald eagles) my arms aching! x

Very nice breeding couple.
Did you breed from them yet?

Augurs are one of my favorite birds of prey, I hope to fly one of them one day.
Any more pics of them?

We're trying, the female is sitting on three eggs which hopefully will hatch within the week! -prays-

The male crushed the last batch, he isn't too bright.
