matt101 Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 cheers for the replys i was planning on having the bronze stag for xmas but in the end i thought that id prefer to keep him and breed him seeing as hes such a nice tame bird, hes my only male so if i was to eat him it would mean that id have to search about in spring when i wanted to breed a few (pain in the ***). thats a golden pheasant male. lady amherst have a white back rather than a yellow one i think?, hes my only mature male at the moment , i have about 4 other males that were bred this year. think its more likely to be had by the cold , but ill keep an eye out anyway :o i am planning on knocking up a few long, low nest boxes incase it gets frosty, i lost a few to it last winter cheers matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt101 Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Thought id add these pics this is one of the golden pheasant chicks that i was talking about This is the same male golden from the first pics but before he had molted out his imature feathers And finally the female reeves, ive played about with it in photoshop and thought that the sepia effect looked quite good cheers matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Matt, I guess you already know this, but the Reeves and the Golden Pheasant feathers are sought after by fly tyers so well worth gathering up if they shed a few Won't exactly make you a 'millyounaire' but could be worth bartering if you know any fly fishermen http://www.flybuyer.com/acatalog/Catalog_P...olden__333.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
