Pheasant in my garden

Just seen a small male pheasant in my garden .
It’s heaving with rain and blowing a gale.
It’s looked hungry and wasn’t finding anything ( everything had been blown away ) so went with bird food and called it.
To my surprise it rushed straight over and is now tucking into a good feed .
Poor things they are just like chickens being hand reared .
I hope it stays .

Just seen a small male peasant in my garden ?
Can't have you feeding stray males.

I remember you had one before that used to visit didn't you.
I hope the poor thing survives this shooting season.

I leave that to the Sally Army Mups

I did have one before ( Chuckie ) he was so large and lovely a very impressive bird and he did survive the season .
This one has gone now. I hope he finds somewhere dry to roost now he is well fed .Its filthy out.

Re: Pheasant in my garden

Yes, it's pretty grim here as well.

Maybe he will pop back and see you again tomorrow.

Re: Pheasant in my garden

Better than turkey.

Re: Pheasant in my garden

I am so glad you ignored Besoekers remark, Mups & Muddy.

That was lovely of you to go out & in the rain & wind to feed the pheasant, Muddy.
He'll probably come back knowing you have food for him, maybe bring all his mates too..

Did you miss the smiley or just misinterpret it?

Re: Pheasant in my garden

Hope the foxes don't get to it.

Re: Pheasant in my garden

I added a smiley too, to my post. Actually I really don't like eating pheasant, I prefer venison.
