Our Fine Pheasant Friend

Pleasant pheasant follows friend for feeding.  He is now so tame.  Acutally he tamed me to feed him when he makes that moo sound.  He comes so close that I could have had him eating out of my hand, but he has a sharp beak, so I put the sunflower seeds on my shoe and he nearly pecked through the leather!

Don’t tell the Dovenby gamekeeper he’s lost one! I’ll protect you during our lockdown, but you can wander round the village though I cannot. We had a wandering chicken until you came along, I hope there’s no fowl play afoot!
