matildanz Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I have no idea where this guy turned up from as we live in the middle of town but he's quite happy tucked up under a rhody watching the chickens ripping up the grass!

Adrienne Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 my friend who lives in Claremont Road has those as do some of her neighbours - it must have decided that living in town was a better option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 looks like a young golden pheasant probably last years produce colouring up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matildanz Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I think there is someone breeding quail and pheasant on the far side of the scenic reserve, maybe he came from there. Looks like he has a limp, hope he can fend off the neighbourhood cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Seems a shame to let the cats have him when you could cook him up yourself :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matildanz Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Mmmmmm.... roast pheasant! However I think it'd need a bit of fattening up first!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrienne Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 is the pheasant still at your place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matildanz Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 No he was gone the next morning. He had a bit of a limp and I was worried that a cat would get him or skittled on the road - couldn't catch him either to put him in the sectioned off part of the chook house. BUT did find out on Saturday morning that a pheasant has taken up residence at a house round the corner. They're feeding him and he's happy to live in their garden. This one has a limp as well so unless a flock of limpy pheasants has all of a sudden emerged from the park, I'm assuming it's the same one!!

Navarre Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 pity you couldnt catch him I find the best treatment for a pheasent to be spatchcocked and then wrapped in streaky bacon you may or may not stuff the whole bird with juniper or cranberry stuffing and needs to be cooked well some people find the legs difficult to deal with so using the breast as a portion on their own works and then slow poaching the drums and thighs in duck fat is also recomened to cure a limp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
