Hi
I have a rescue pheasant.
We tried to take her to a wildlife rescue shelter or vet, but they said they weren't taking any animals because of COVID. (?)
So we ended up with a pheasant.
We don't have chickens. We didn't want any pets - preferring the natural wildlife around us.
But now we have a pheasant.
She's 9 weeks old and won't leave.
I registered here because I saw a post by someone with a similar situation and felt that I could share my experience seeing as "Birdie" is still alive and healthy.
I was determined not to name her. "She's not a pet." "She's leaving as soon as she can roost." "I'm closing all the doors and windows!"
Ha! She has got my husband wrapped. He cuddles her to sleep each night. 🤦♀️
So she is called birdie - not a name, just a noun.
And she is teaching us and training us. Which is the one advantage to having her in such close proximity.
I am also learning a lot from the world wide community.
