Any update on the pheasant so far? What happened after this? :D

+Hazzball Gaming Over the next few days he began hassling my wife, the horses, the dog and the guests at our holiday home. So we caught him in one of the horses hay nets. He got tangled up, so we had to cut him out of it. We then put him in a cardboard box and took him to a large woodlands about 10 miles away. We set him free and we haven't seen him since. Lately though, another young male pheasant has been hanging around. I just hope he isn't the son of the first one, out for revenge like in Jaws 2. ☺

He may have thought you were offering food with your hand. Wild pheasants will adopt you and follow you everywhere. One did with our family, and never pecked us. They can become really great friends.

@@CountryHouseGentthe problem was you bowed to it. I guess that’s a way to initiate a fight to them. I have a pheasant as of recently idk much about them but I know that’s a gesture of violence or whatever. Mine are quite scared of me for now but they’re juveniles and theyre new to me. Next time just stand your normal level and offer food. Maybe that’ll change his attitude.

0:28 I can't get over how cute the noises are that he makes. I wonder what he's saying

I second that on the stew. Mean pheasant makes a mean bowl of stew. Miss your vanagon camper videos.

What's for dinner? Nice roasted pheasant.

I think all the birds in the background are cheering him on! hahahaha

My best friend always has pheasants around his house, once he was so annoyed by the pheseants he sneaked behind one and honked a airhorn

it's amazing what bacon, rosemary and a preheated 175C oven will do for his attitude problem.....

Wow!! Good shot!

When you held your hand up toward his face like that, it was very bad body language for this species. I know that is how you signal friendly intentions to a dog. However, this is not a dog. To him your lowered hand was moving just like the way another male pheasant lowers his head before attacking. That's when he decided you were a rival that needed to be chased off.

I have seen my neighbor pull up and throw his mail box across his yard, because he did not receive his paycheck in the mail.

I gather people feed him and he was literally trying to force your hand with the expectation of a snack.

This is why you NEVER say: I like your cut G!

So cute!

He's treating you the way the males treat each other, so the previous guesses about territory and mating are probably right, but the behaviour and territorialism between males is hard to unpick. I've watched the local pheasants here for a while now and they're somewhere in between territorial and social. They'll shadow each other on their food routes, establish a kind of pecking order but not usually drive each other off. We have a tame one that eats out of your hand, and today he was shadowed by a much more impressive looking one who harried him but didn't actually bully him - just watched to make sure the smaller one wasn't getting all the food. Like rivalrous siblings, almost. It's very odd.

We got three wild pheasants here right now (Germany) and as long as Iive (33 years) I have never seen pheasants in my hometown. I am a hobby nature photographer and our pheasants are super shy. And after watching this video i am glad they are shy 😂

The more I look at his golden brown feathers, the more I think about a succulent, poultry dinner, burnished to a crisp yet juicy glazed, golden brown finish.

I think that my Weimaraners want to be friends with it too. LOL!

he is just getting a bit upset that no one follows his no trespassing marks. So now he has decided to escort you off his property himself.

Jez..... psycho pheasant LOL. I thought he were quite beautiful & cute until he started doing that lol. Am sure he didn't mean any harm lol, perhaps just a protective instinctive behaviour as he is wild Or maybe he were just having an off day lol.

And that is why I always carry my umbrella with me.

He’s persistent!

That's one friendly dinosaur

It probably would be a very good idea, to wear protective eye wear and gloves when near that very smart and fast Pheasant!

*Peace was never an option.*

We had one just like this, I was trying to feed it and gave it a name . . . then it started to attack, the last attack (3 in total) involved it jumping on my son (3) and clawing him quite badly. So no matter how interesting we had to get "shot" of him. It is funny how we humanise animals, even things like spiders.

under glass !

I think it might see something on the camera as a threat, some birds sees danger in the most common and unexpected things or they simply try to bite or scratch it to examine it, and we, humans, have a very delicate skin XD lol

Bad a$$ bird. He needs to be taken to a taxidermist. LOL 😆!!!

Aw. Be a pheasant plucker.

Looks like you may have to hold him down to the ground... When a rooster wants to establish domince over another rooster, he will mount him like a hen. If you hold him to the ground for a few seconds (right side up), it shows that you are in charge.

What a chad

So funny!!

It is time to end friendship. 🍗😋

Cute pheasant

Kev that's dinner for NYD.

I had a similar encounter on Bredon Hill, Worcestershire today. A male pheasant came very close to me and followed me up and down a track pecking at my legs now and again. I think pheasants can get used to humans during the rearing process where they sometimes get handled, so must loose the natural fear of us. Not sure whether this close up behaviour is terrritorial or if they are trying to make some other form of contact (for food?). Does anyone know? I guess you could really get to know a pheasant like this, almost like a pet if you saw it often enough.

He's just looking for food.

Awesome video. I recently befriended a female pheasant. While it was extremely cold (-15c) she just sat quietly in the snow in my garden. I went out to give her some food, and I could get real close. Gave her some sunflower seeds, and she has been my friend since that. She comes around almost every day, and I give her a handful of seeds. After eating the seeds, she quietly walks away. She hasn’t shown any aggression at all. Are females nicer than males? There are 8 pheasants in the neighborhood, 1 male and 7 females, so I guess the females are his harem. The male is totally shy, but maybe that’ll change once mating season starts?

He wasn't a very pheasant plucker was he lol
