Kielder Water Bird of Prey Centre
Tribrid - Peregrine Falcon, Lanner Falcon & Gyr Falcon

Hybrids
Facts: Mans interference with nature by cross-breeding has produced hybrids and even tribrids.

At the centre we have a tribrid - a combination of a Peregrine falcon, a Lanner falcon and a Gyr Falcon. Combining these species can produce a bigger, faster and/or more agile bird, but the process is often frowned upon and it has great scope for debate. Many people disagree with the idea of hybrids and tribrids. What do you think?
