Is it still possible to tame two week old red golden pheasant chick as a pet?

Why are the people responding in this thread so “anti-pet-pheasant-taming”?

Some people hunt and shoot pheasants as a sport, while here I am being talked down to because I’m trying to tame a pheasant as a pet.

We’re just offering the same realistic educational advice as would be offered to anyone based on actual experience.
You mentioned wanting to do this based on seeing an Instagram of 1 (4year old) ringneck MALE pheasant. You mentioned in previous threads wanting an indoor pet guinea based off a YouTube video. Your own statements alone tell your overall inexperience with gamebirds.
Why are you so against learning to properly care and provide for the PET you have chosen and supposedly already purchased?

I am obeying all state and federal rules and regulations.

That’s good to know as many do not research nor are they properly instructed as to the law by sellers

What are your honest opinions about the tame Ringneck pheasant on that Instagram account? What are your honest opinions about the tame Guinea fowl on that YouTube video?

Also I want to let everyone here know that I did not buy that “Bird calm” supplement after everyone’s opinions about it. Okay everyone? I will NOT buy that “Bird calm” supplement!

Wingnut is an absolutely amazing and beautiful ringneck cockbird that was hand raised from hatch with other pheasants. What they don’t reveal in the insta is the work that it took to get him to the point where the insta starts at age 3+ (Wingclipping, veterinary visits, ruined furniture, escapes, injuries, housing upgrades and maintenance as just a few examples.) And they don’t mention how many other pheasants they tried this with successfully and unsuccessfully other than a small snippet about 1 red golden he was raised around. They also don’t mention where they are located and other obstacles they’ve encountered along this journey. As for the guinea, I’m sure it’s a similar situation. There’s a lot they don’t show in the videos and online posts!

Okay fine then!
I’ll just take my pet pheasant perching on my arm and wearing a harness while I walk around the neighborhood block or at a public park.
