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.
