I've just been told that our allotments have a pet pheasant that visits everyone while they are weeding.  Hhhhmmmm, just what do you think he may be interested in tasting?  Do they eat green veg?   :blink:

And what green veg would you eat with the pheasant 

[stompy]

Ha Ha Ha, you beat me to it.

The natural diet would be foraged grasses, grains and insects, things like that. I should imagine that wandering through someone's veg patch which has lovely pea shoots or perhaps berries or any young greenery, would give any self respecting pheasant many tasty snacks.



Edit: spelling

[gillie]

They make dust baths in your seedbeds.

Oh no!  Well, he is much loved, evidentally.  But forwarned is forarmed.  Cheeky little beggar!

Its likely to eat alot of new greenery but they arent very smart.  My grandmother has a large garden in the country and so come hunting season hundreds of them take up shelter there, shes also an avid gardener and has various scary plastic birds and metal cats with eyes" etc and whilst the pigeons perch on them and the rabbits stare at them whilst munching her plants the pheasants are petrified
