Cranfield Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 There has been a suggestion that the dye in the PW polo shirts causes hallucinations. We of course dispute this scurrilous accusation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandersj89 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 It could be a mule, this is a hen pheasant that is transforming to a cock's plumage. This can happen in older birds or birds with damaged ovaries that stop releasing female horemones. We get the odd one every year or so.

Ferret Master Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I remember reading in either a Richard Jefferies book or 'the molecatcher says' about the vicar owning a phantom. A cross between a pheasant and a bantam chicken. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulkyuk Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 When you cross a reeves pheasant with a common english pheasant, they do look a little strange - buy boy do they fly well, they will give you some of the most tesing birds you will ever put a gun up to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
