Da Boyz R in da 'hood
The garden has been taken over. I used to have a lone semi-tame male
pheasant residing in the garden. Well, he was wild but wouldn't run a mile when I went out to top up the bird food supplies. In the Spring, he'd bring a couple of ladies along too :-) Now, he's gone. Da Boyz have taken over da 'hood. I now have a gang of three male pheasants in the garden. Definitely not semi-tame: they run a mile when I go out to top up the bird food supplies, but they soon return to their leisurely struts about the garden, looking out for the nuts & seeds I sprinkle about the grass and eating their fill. Da Boyz all have slightly different markings, which means I should be able to start to recognise them invidivually if they stick around for a while. Of course, Da Catz love Da Boyz, as the felines sit on the windowsills looking out into the garden, tails lashing, whiskers out as they tell Da Boyz with various mutterings of gnashing of feline fangs and noises that are great Hannibal Lecter impurrsonations of just what they'd like to do to them. |

Good grief! It's pheasant central out there this morning! Da Boyz in da 'hood have increased in number from a gang of three to a gang of six. Six male pheasants strutting their stuff in the garden and eating their fill of the nuts and seeds I put out at dawn. The cats are beside themselves with excitement; particularly Francis who is sat on a windowsill chattering and slurping and is about to lose his tail through lashing it so vigorously it must surely fall off... |

That's interesting, that so many males gather in the same place. Do they look like young birds? I guess at this time of year the rivalry between them isn't as strong as during the spring. You'll probably have lots of fights to report then, if they all stay together through winter. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

It's the time of year when their food is hard to find... but my garden is stuffed full of bird food of various kinds. I think the need for food and the fact there's plenty of it in the garden is keeping the avian testosterone levels down! |

Hi Helen, That image of Francis ogling the pheasants is priceless. Aren't those pheasants beautiful? We had a confused young male pheasant court our hens (domestic chickens) one time. He made sounds like Woody Woodpecker. The ladies were totally unimpressed. Annie |

Hi Helen, That image of Francis ogling the pheasants is priceless. :-) He is funny at this time of year, as the cats are indoors a lot and I put loads of food out for the birds. So much that my husband has made mutterings about being surprised the birds can still fly as they eat so much... Aren't those pheasants beautiful? I love them. Handsome birds and each has slightly different markings. We had a confused young male pheasant court our hens (domestic chickens) one time. He made sounds like Woody Woodpecker. The ladies were totally unimpressed. Hehe! Annie |

Judging by my cats experiences, they must think a pheasant is an exotic chicken, their favorite food. They are prabably saying yum,yum! -- CATherine |

OEJ does this with birds and squirrels both, I think seeing a bird that big
would probably give the poor thing a stroke, Lee wafflycat wrote in message ... Good grief! It's pheasant central out there this morning!
