I belong to a historical re-enactment society that puts on regular medieval themed events.
My household is putting together a feast this coming October and we are hoping to offer something really spectacular. We are looking for some pheasants that we can offer as the main dish for our feast. We have money in our budget to purchase supplies (but all donations are tax deductible since we are a non-profit educational group) though we do want to keep our costs as low as we can since there are many other things we have to buy to feed everyone.
We are prepared to process the bird(s) ourselves to ensure they can be presented at our feast in the most impressive fashion possible. As such, we are looking to purchase live pheasants sometime between now and October. Of course we would ideally like them young enough that they will be worth eating, but we would also like them mature enough to have their stunning feathers, so I am unsure what age this means. We can travel, if necessary, to pick them up, but would prefer them to be in-state because that is where we travel to.
I know it seems like an odd request, but it really would make our event something special. We have to outdo last-year's feast team that put together mythical beasts out of a chicken (from my flock) and a small pig. The pictures below are from the kitchen prep area before it was presented to the reigning prince and the others chosen to sit at the high table. As you can see, presentation matters and it was stunning!
If you have spare peafowl that you can offer, please PM me with your location, the price and number of pheasants you are offering, and what date they would be available for pickup.
