I've had pheasants do this before, that's the reason I will always tell someone asking if they can have a community pen or keep different species in the same pen, the answer is usually NO!, keep the different species seperated, it might work for awhile but most of the time it will end up in a blood bath at best and at worse the death of one or both of the cock birds.
Be careful of what you wish for....that's the reason some of us 'purist' greatly condemn peeps that crossbreed or hybridized pure bloodlines.I would like to get some rackelhahns enlisted in the world wide war on dux
They didn’t say, or if they did, I missed it because they were speaking Greek..Be careful of what you wish for....that's the reason some of us 'purist' greatly condemn peeps that crossbreed or hybridized pure bloodlines.
That one cock bird could wipe out that whole population of indigenous birds!
Call me a wuss, but I couldn’t finish watching it. If I didn’t have birds it probably wouldn’t have bothered me, but I place myself as being the owner of the poor unfortunate bird. No Can Do! But, very interesting!
But on the same hand, don’t people spend wicked money on fighting birds, only for them to succumb to another? I never understood that either.
Oh hell no you don’t!I would like to get some rackelhahns enlisted in the world wide war on dux
I am thinking that it was cross from captivity that escaped? Those two species might be able to breed but I doubt very seriously that they would be able to have a viable population.
No other species of birds with the exception of birds of paradise, have a vast array of 'rainbow' color in their plumage!I didn't think it would be. Pheasants and grouse certainly are gorgeous birds, but people do hunt and eat them as well.
I wouldn't have even thought about eating them if it wasn't for @R2elk, lol.
I would love to have some pheasant one day, just to keep for eye candy
