Oooh, Rob... that's not what you said when the peahen came visiting :wink:
But Dugless, I think Rob's got a point... after all, you wouldn't have come here if somewhere deep in your heart you didn't know that the chickens are calling :) They could go with you in the caravan to play golf (Aunty takes hers to the allotment, so there's a precedent ... almost ...) :lol: :lol: :lol:

WELL?????????

My mum's garden in Cambridgeshire is similarly full of pheasants, though she's not very keen on them because they eat all her plants.
Some of them are very tame. It's a modern house with big full-length glass windows - so one of the hen pheasants hangs around looking reproachfully through the glass and runs up eagerly every time you open the door to go outside.
If the food in the bird feeder has run out (not meant for pheasants, but they eat all the bits that fall down) then same hen pheasant sometimes pecks on the window to tell my mum to come and do something about it.
Most extreme was when couple of ducks came in through open window to find my mum in her study and tell her the food had run out...

aaaah bless :lol: :lol:

That's what I love about nature...there's always something hungry enough to let you feed it !
