Garden – The Tame Pheasant
A Garden visitor, he is becoming tamer.
This is Freddy. He visits the garden every day to feed. Originally, he was quite timid, now he is becoming bold. Today he was feeding while the lawn was being mowed. If there is no food out when he arrives in the afternoon he will wait while I walk up to him to bring him some!
He lives in the school playing fields over the fence from the garden coming over for tea just before 4.00 most days. If pheasants were not indigenous to this country we all marvel at them if we saw them abroad while on holiday. They are magnificent looking birds. It is a shame that Freddy, like most of his cousins, was raised to be shot.
Mind you, pheasants do taste good.
