pheasant from chick to adult

[muus]

Today, Yandel, the pheasant that is in the photos avobe, make me pass a bad day. I went to a reunion and he flew to the street, I was calling her when I went home and I didn't find it.
All the afternoon calling my little chick, of the two pheasants I have, he is the more more quiet. Starting the night, my sister came home with the chick, She told me: You haven't closed the door and the chicks start loocking for you, And the pheasant went to the balcony and falled to the street, I went to catch him and because I don't have the keys I went to the house of a friend.
When I have seen the chick in the hand of my sister I was emocionated and he was very hungry...
Thanks

Hello

I was just wondering how do you feed them when they are very small ? and what type of food do you use ?
I just found a nest with 4 chicks, they have 1 day old but they don't eat, i made some sort of a paste with the chickens food

will appreciate any help, thanks !

Hi
Pheasants are very strong birds when they are small, they learn what is food and they will distrust of you till second week. since then, the birds will be more lovely, I think the possibility of flying make them have more security near of you, and now my pheasants have near 7 weeks and they are lovely, they don't like to be touched and don't want to be very closer to the "mother", but always they need to see you because if they not, will start making loud noise.
My birds when they were very small loved the chicken food, but I prefer give them their speciall food, it's a food for pheasants , partridges and quails.
When we are outside, they do what they want and they eat a lot of things that I can't see...but it seems that they like it.
I hope I've helped you
Thanks

I need to post this week photo.
My baby it's not the same, I can let it go out because always return, but I think that one day, I will open the door and he will never gets back, but for now, let me enjoy.
He never flys to escape from me, only runs, don't like to touch it and loves walking. He go with the peachick to the places where we went when they were younger.
He is still a baby, my baby.
Thanks
