Unpleasant Pheasant

[sewer rat]

I know I have loads of young pheasants roaming my field, doing unspeakable damage to my caulis, leeks and sprouts in particular, but there is one of last years cock pheasants that is really just taking the p*ss.
He stood in front of one of my customers cars this morning and refused to move. Cue the pup - get pup from cage, tell pup to seek, pup seeks, finds and moves in to destroy - the result - nasty cut across pup's face. Rat moves into get said pheasant. Said pheasant attacks Rat . Said pheasant will die tomorrow.

Shoot it, pluck it and cook it! Sounds good to me.

Pluck it then post a pic!

Sorry to hear that SR, hope pups OK . Put it down to experience. Little Guinness (in avitar) had her first rat at six months old then just sat there looking all innocent. She has tried and tried to get a pheasant but can't get near enough, but it's interesting watching her try and work out how to sneak up on them.

Rat, I have a gorgeous recipe for Pheasant and Marmalade Casserole at the ready for you. Just give me 'the nod'....

Formidable pheasant methinks! Watch out for an ambush SR!

So if you pluck the pheasant, does that make you a pheasant plucker and are you a pheasant plucker's son? Are you only plucking pheasants till the pheasant plucker comes? :-0

Having worked part-time in a bird of prey centre for more than a decade and a half, I think the most vicious bird I ever had to deal with was a Silver Pheasant called, appropriately, Tyson. Those spurs, directed to the head, can be quite painful!

Hope pup is okay?? I didnt think Pheasants were that visious - consider this today's lesson Sue!!

My unpleasant pheasant has had a reprieve this weekend but only because Iona was with me at the field all weekend. Chased the pup again. Does seem to be getting more openly aggressive. Iona is back at school tomorrow so tomorrow it dies

[nick the grief]

Ahhh, if only I live nr Tain, we could have a possee to hunt it down & rassle it

The most unpleasant bird I ever came across was a RHode Island Red Cockerel & the owner used to have to fend that of with a pickaxe handle !!! It used to come at you feet first at head height - it would have made a good training aid for the England Cricket team against hostile fast bowling

Not a Pheasant death I hope?

Hope it tastes wonderful Rat.
