silver pigeon 3 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Wheat and/or chopped maize normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsonicnat Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Wheat is cheapest. Make sure is decent, not been wet and going off, it won`t get eaten, and will cause your birds to wonder elsewhere for decent grub.

Harnser Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 You need to put salt on their tails . Get your self a salt celler from a chip shop and creep up and pour salt on their tails . Once you salt their tails they won't be able to run and hide away . Much easier to shoot that way ,good luck . Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stubby Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 It isn't as easy as standing there with a handful of grain, calling 'here phessie, phessie'. I beg to differ, it is, if they are called either Allan or Bob, and not phessie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmaxphil Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 If you are going to attract phesants to your land by feeding them the local shoot is going to love you !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayano3 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 If you look in all the supermarkets they sell wheetabix. Go for the bite size ones. Don't read the instructions as you won't require milk. Once you get a few birds at what could be termed as your breakfast table apply for a shotgun cert and hope the birds are still there once you have a gun. Sorry,I assumed you don't have a gun.

Right ayano3, just unloaded the landy of 3 cwt of wheat and replaced it with 287 boxes of wheetabix. I'm off to feed the pheasants. I could be some time... Do they take sugar and milk?

KFC Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 You need to put the wheat into the hollow of a brick and place this by a hedgerow. Sprinkle the wheat with pepper. When the Pheasants go to get the wheat then they'll sneeze and smash their heads on the brick. Saves me a fortune in cartridges every season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Simply not on to poach anothers birds However! If one were to fly over your land of it's own accord, then that is somewhat different! But to lay down feed to deliberately pull in neighbouring birds, I find is not cricket dear boy! For what they cost, plus feed and pens! Why not rear a few dozen of your own? If you have a little woodland on your land, some scrub or marsh! You could do well building a pen in the woods and giving it a go! Get a few friends to chip in with you, and make a go of it. As for feed! Your cheapest option would be a local cereal farmer. There are plenty of additives to keep your birds from wandering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adi786 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 lol KFC "Saves me a fortune in cartridges every season" and quite few others.. Well there's no poaching or am not pulling someone's else birds, they're in my permissions, issue is the end they tend to hide is towards canal/river pass way, while looking for them they fly towards river and i cannot shoot them. so am trying to get them to other side of land, you go today/tomorrow. if they fly any other way then river pass by its all my permissions next to each other. So there's nothing dodgy am trying to do, was just a thought as haven't got a lot experience doing all this.. SO relax , and thanks for getting back with some useful answers....
