About Tim

A passionate falconer for the past 19 years

Tim McPherson has been a passionate falconer for the past 19 years – during this time he has developed a deep understanding of, and appreciation for, all birds and animals.

The control of unwanted birds, although very necessary, is often approached in indiscriminate and environmentally unsustainable ways. Using raptors and falconry, which is an ancient practice, offers the solution to this problem even in these modern times.

Tim, whose background includes the sustainable harvesting and utilization of natural resources has gained a thorough understanding of the HACCP and similar systems which he includes in pest control management, where appropriate.

Tim has developed and implemented practical, ethical and humane pest control solutions.

About Adolph

My dream has become my life!

I remember my mom telling me the story of how when I was just a little boy I decided that I was going to be a falconer one day…

Coming from a small town, Frankfort, in the Free State Province of South Africa, the ancient sport of Falconry was unheard so the journey to make my dream a realisation has been a lengthy process.

When I turned 20 I got my first Rock Kestrel and joined the Falconry sporting world. My appetite for knowledge about the sport only grew with experiencing the exhilaration of finally being a falconer and I devoured any and all reading material that I could lay my hands on.

I also drove admirable fellow Falconers absolutely crazy with endless questions about the sport.

Being a farm boy, I have a deep love and understanding of animals and their behavior, and the sport and practice of Falconry never ceases to amaze me and has somewhat absorbed my entire life and the life of my wife and children too. The more I learn, the more I realize that I am only scratching the surface of this majestic, ancient sport, the raptors and their prey.

The rich history and the in-depth psychology of each bird is mind blowing. Seeing my two daughters experiencing the Falconry world has been a refreshing experience, even though they in turn exhaust me with all their questions.  The wonder through their young eyes makes me realise that this is so much more than a sport or business but rather a way of being.

My family and I still live in Frankfort and we are actively part of the South African Falconry Association (SAFA) as well as the Free State Falconry Club, with bird abatement a full-time job.

About Aidan

Respect for nature's beauty

With over 35 years of dedicated experience in falconry, I am passionate about the ancient art of training and hunting with birds of prey. My journey in falconry began decades ago, driven by a deep-seated love for birds and animals that has shaped my life’s work. 

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills as a falconer, working with a variety of raptors and mastering the intricacies of their behaviour and training. Beyond the thrill of the hunt, my commitment extends to the conservation and welfare of these magnificent creatures. 

I firmly believe in the importance of bird abatement, utilizing falconry techniques to naturally and effectively manage avian populations in various environments. This sustainable approach not only mitigates human-wildlife conflicts but also promotes ecological balance. 

I am driven by a profound respect for nature’s beauty and the remarkable bond between humans and birds of prey that has been forged through centuries of mutual respect and cooperation.
