lost bird - wendy (12th Mar 2014 - 10:56:49) I have a large golden brown pheasant type bird in my garden. White ring round neck, green head and large red patches around the eyes. Not sure if its a wild one slightly lost or someones pet!!! Was spotted in Erles Road early today and a few days ago.

Re: lost bird - S (12th Mar 2014 - 12:30:55) Hi, Stupid question but - does it look like this: ...If so, it's just a normal ('wild') pheasant.......

Re: lost bird - d (12th Mar 2014 - 17:08:59) tastes great in a pie :)

Re: lost bird - S (12th Mar 2014 - 18:31:13) I really think it is just a wild pheasant - it's the right time of year. Perhaps you live in a part of Liphook where they don't wander to very often, or maybe you just moved here.. but we live on the outskirts and get them fairly often, partridges too. I would just enjoy the visit if i were you..

Re: lost bird - wendy (12th Mar 2014 - 21:02:58) Thanks, he is a splendid bird.

Re: lost bird - liz (13th Mar 2014 - 08:28:12) We have Fred no-tail, Fred and Fred II in the garden all year round. Fortunately our cat is a bit of a wuss and runs away if they squark at him.

Re: lost bird - A. Ryan (13th Mar 2014 - 09:17:26) They breed them in captivity, then let them go so they can blast them to kingdom come. It probably heard that a new shop was opening and there would be lot's of people in their new camouflage outfits roaming the outskirts of Liphook, so moved into your garden for safety.

Re: lost bird - liz (13th Mar 2014 - 10:03:11) They've been there a few years longer than the camouflage shop - but perhaps we can expect some more. I've never understood the so-called 'sport' in shooting 'semi wild' pheasants which are so tame. There has to be something for those who can't really shoot I suppose!

Re: lost bird - Rachel (13th Mar 2014 - 22:02:39) I was walking along the road that go's past the main sorting office (sorry can't remember name) today. As I passed the back of Flechers Field where there is a large garden as such, I saw a big black and white cat stalking something! All of a sudden a male pheasant came squawking out of a bush! I do hope he got away.
