    Anyone really familiar with lovebirds?

    A fun trick that can determine sex in Peach-faced (aka Rosy-faced). Give the birds access to paper, the females will likely shred the paper and place in the their rump feathers. In 25 years, I've never seen a male do this. Also, the females of all species tend to be slightly larger than the...

    Anyone here have these pheasants?

    They are not an easy species to care for; they have special requirements, and are quite expensive compared to many if the species covered on this forum. I would do more research.

    Pheasant

    A Ringneck should have started a clutch by now. There could be several stress variables preventing her from starting - weather, disturbances, diet, etc. Dan

    Peach Golden Pheasants

    I believe any mention of "regular" should be "red" or just Golden as it is the nominate, wild form. Prior to the 1960s, there was no such thing as a "Red Golden", just Golden (no one outside the breeding world calls the species red golden). The Ghigi is perhaps the only "mutation" I trust, I...

    aceh pheasant

    Thanks guys, was surprised I was able to log in!! We'll see how long before someone turns me in again & I have NO faith or trust in the.... let's just say, I'm not taking my coat off. I can't read the "Hybrid Pheasant" topic, but see it's still there. Shameful. Dan

    Keeping quails with golden pheasants

    Be careful when the mixing American Quail in the aviary, they can sometimes be aggressive towards other species. Most of the Coturnix genus should be ok if you have plenty of space. Dan

    aceh pheasant

    There is a debate/discussion that seems ongoing on the species/subspecies status of the Aceh. For a very long time, it was only known from a skin. Dan

    Hybrid Pheasants

    I think you are massively confusing domestic breeds vs. wild species. That's the problem associating them with poultry, you get responses like this. You never see this confusion with other facets of aviculture or science. I can't figure out why it's such a hard concept to grasp on this forum...

    Pure golden pheasants

    If you post a wanted ad on gbwf, several there have imported birds and have maintained records. The prices usually double or triple. Dan

    peepers on ringeck pheasants

    Wow. Face in palm. If you are keeping 8 pheasants in that size of aviary, that's as inhumane as peepers. Hate to say it, but I can't wait for the USDA to start regulating birds (as the rumor has been floating around a few years), weed out people like you. Please send me the page number in...

    peepers on ringeck pheasants

    Sorry, completely disagree with your entire statement. Landscaped, enriched aviaries will give the birds a natural area to get away from an aggressive bird & it will keep them stimulated. There is NO USE FOR PEEPERS. Whatever your experience has been, I suggest taking a different approach...

    What size netting for a top?

    I prefer the 1" over the 2" to keep starlings & sparrows out. It also depends on your snow-load as well. With lots of snow, 2" might be your best bet. The 1" has more surface area and can gather lots of snow or ice, sag and and break. There are few ways around it - stagger your posts or make...

    African Pygmy Geese

    There are a few here, but remain very expensive (not an easy species to rear in captivity). Virgil Bates was able to rear a few last year, his pics are here: http://www.gbwf.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=8105 I can't get onto ISIS any longer to see what zoos they are in, but I'm thinking...

    Hybrid Pheasants

    @ vcomb: There are so many other resources out there that one can find out what a pure, wild species should look like. My feeling is that since there is such resentment towards hybrid pheasants, his/her photos were posted just to incite a reaction. They got one, probably sitting back and...
