For all of you who were helping me out with Pheasmo. Well did he get the oven for Christmas? This is the big question? I was out in the greenhouse a few days before Christmas with Pheasmo wrapped up in my old gardening coat as I was want to do. He was all snug and I was rocking him backwards...

I plan on slaughtering for the Christmas menu - so he wasn't staying around too long anyhow. My issue is like yourself I don;t believe in keeping wild animals captive - other than when there is no other option. If the neighbour had not picked this guy up when he did he probably would be dead by...

We don't have the same restrictions here. I rescued and released a baby bat last year and I had to go into all the laws about captive wild animals because they are on the endangered animal listing. You can keep a wild animal for up to 6 months ( then you have to be registered and licenced)...

Thanks for the advice. - I would have kept him if I had room and a big enough cage for him but he is wild and morally I would struggle with that anyhow even if I had room. But sadly I don't and that foot will never properly heal - I will feel sad doubtless when the time comes as I am already...

ARE YOU INSAINE!!!!!!!!! - DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY A GOOD PHEASANT IS AT THE BUTCHERS!!!!!!! He is on the Christmas menu!!!!! Phesmo is getting Fat for a reason ( No different from anyone on BYC raising Meat bird hens and turkeys! ) . I splinted the leg because I didn't want him to suffer...

He pulled the splint off today and is weight baring. lol SO I have left it off as he isn't knuckling over anymore. He is using it a bit which is more positive. He is not a happy Pheasant. Oes

He still didn;t eat anything - I guess I will try live mealworm tomorrow. Oes

I quite like this fellow he is lovely but feisty. He still spits at me loads. The splint is a good help for him because as you say he isn;t knuckling over. I don;t see him using it any though. I am worried because I can;t get him to eat any. I don't think he would recognise chicken feed as food...

If I wanted to pay big vet fees it certainly would not be on a pheasent that the local butcher could give me for a fraction of the price! Thanks but sence and viability have to come into play IT IS A MEAT BIRD NOT A PET! Oes

I thought someone over here might have known something more about Pheasents than me and rush to my aid? Ohhh well - I am just treating him as a "wild chicken"! Not even sure what to feed him so he got Porridge and mashed up scrambled chicken egg with yogurt this morning and some chicken feed. He...

Hi Thought someone on here might be able to help me. My usual experience with Pheasent is hanging and processing. However last night a neighbour brought us a young male Pheasent he found on his drive. It appears to have a broken foot. I put it in the cat crate in the shed overnight so it was...
