I love your pheasant a very familiar bird to me. Yes and they are even bred on farms in this country and then released for the hunters massacre. And if they aren't killed by the hunters, they probably won't survive because they were raised on a farm and don't know how to survive in the wild. Three cheers for the human race. Sorry you missed the tail ... it is a beauty :)<br /><br />Andrea @ From the Sol Andrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-27885697735302039222017-08-23T21:03:53.086+10:002017-08-23T21:03:53.086+10:00Stewart, it would be wonderful to see one in perso...Stewart, it would be wonderful to see one in person so THANK YOU!!!!...:)JPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-3495916145955262122017-08-23T19:03:30.806+10:002017-08-23T19:03:30.806+10:00Hi Stewart, its not often you can get that close t...Hi Stewart, its not often you can get that close to them unless they turn up as road kill.

Birds bred for shooting are released into the countrside willy-nilly and breed with older feral birds or last years' releases that didn't get shot. There are no truly wild birds as you imply.
