They seem to spend most of their time walking around - but can fly. From what i have seen, they usually only take flight when scared - and make a heck of a noise when they are doing it. lol I have heard one around here over the last week, but not sighted it yet - maybe its because its spring and they are wandering further afield looking for a mate? I recently moved to Norfolk and have never seen so many pheasants before! They are all over the place. lol

So would ours, although ours is still a little kitten. Have locked the cat flap as I don`t want him getting him. Have just looked again and he is still wondering around pecking at the apples on the ground(the apples chris was meant to pick up when he mowed the grass lol) Our neighbour wants Pheasant pie(she`s a scottish woman and wouldn`t want to stand in here way lol) xxxxx

Lucky! Do you want it? I`m not a big meat eater. My neighbour says I should catch it and put it in the field over the road. Will maybe wait for Chris to come home at lunch to do that LOL!!!

My friend who is also my neighbour has just rang me to say we have a pheasant in our back garden. It`s very beautiful and big! Wonder what attracted it to our garden! I`m quite worried about it though as foxes are always running around the estate. Will the Pheasant be ok? I mean, would it just fly away(Can it fly? Don`t know much about birds) Kerry x
