We have a tame Pheasant

[funflair]

As per title, doesn’t seem scared of people at all.

Hopefully it’s more wary of the cat next door

 

[DumfriesDik]

Amazing.

 

[DuxDeluxe]

#disappointed. I thought that all toffs had tame peasants…….

 

[Hagstrom]

(Never mind the tame pheasant, wish I still had the flexibility to sit on my heels, like that....)

 

[bertiebasset]

It's not the sitting but the getting up afterwards.

You pinched my line

Makes catching you own dinner easy.

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

Keep feeding it up Martin ,might eventually make a good dinner.

Hi.
Super thing to have,however,watch your roof. They have a habit of pecking at tiles,grouting etc. We had them at the last village we lived in Very pretty and a bit noisy at times. A magical pet.

If you were carrying a gun it would run.

This is a good partner for them

 

[Stag man]

Pull a stunt like that and you might get pecked
I'm told they are very particular about who stuffs them

It looks small and young I hope the cat doesn't get it.

This years brood, they must have nested in the shrubbery as we kept seeing little ones earlier in the year.

Saute a finely chopped onion in butter and when golden brown seal the breasts all over and pour over 2 floz whiskey and flame, when flames die place in the oven and cook. When cooked add 1/2 pint double cream and heat until sauce thickens. Add tablespoon Dijon mustard and a squeeze of lemon. Serve.

I’m pretty sure they are supposed to be dead before stuffing

We have them pecking around the ground under the bird feeders. My dog killed two beautiful males when he first came here by chasing them and they got trapped in the stock fencing wire. It was awful. Now I ring a bell before I let him out and a squirrel always runs off and the Pheasants have a chance to fly away

Be thankful it’s a hen and not a cock; they make an unholy row when they start crowing!

Last thing I’d want in the vicinity is a peacock.

Don't get too attached - any day now it will commit hari kari and walk out into the path of a fast moving vehicle or motorcyclist

We have ‘Kevin’ - he had been a daily visitor to our garden for over a year. He used to sit patiently waiting for the feeder to be topped up. He is a stunning bird but we’ve not seen him for a little while. We still hear him squawking close by. Our dog ‘surprised’ him in the garden and may have frightened him away

It’s OK there are plenty more just not as friendly.
