The examples of introduction of birds of family Falconidae in the urban environment
 BAKALA, Lukáš
The present thesis focuses on the issue of reintroduction of the Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) to different locations and types of habitat. Four methods of reintroduction of birds of prey to their natural habitats are being used: they might be released from a release cage; they might be included in a falconry training programme; or they might be adopted, either within their own species, or cross-species. Of the methods mentioned, releasing from the release cage is the most frequent in the Czech Republic. The young birds of prey to be released should grow in an environment similar to the one they are about to be released. Each of them has to pass a veterinary examination and should be properly labelled and registered with the Regional Authority. It is crucial for the birds to minimise their attachment to and dependence on man. Many of the reintroduced birds successfully reached sexual maturity and were able to mate and breed. According to the research, the survival rate of 1-year-old falcons is 65 per cent in urban and 28 per cent in rural areas. In the present thesis, I have included 11 Peregrine Falcons and 7 Saker Falcons (Falco cherrug) that have been reintroduced on the territory of the Czech Republic. The findings of this thesis may contribute to further research.
