For the past few days as I would walk around the Harlaxton grounds, I would see a wild bird called a pheasant. Pheasants are big birds the size of chickens all across the UK. The pheasants I have seen have a red neck. That is probably why that type of pheasant is called the Red Necked Pheasant. To me, pheasants seem to be a friendly, lazy bird because every time I walk toward one it doesn't fly away until I am five feet away from it. No wonder it is almost extinct! On the Harlaxton grounds there are not only pheasants but we have spotted bunnies and fox.Saturday, January 7, 2012

Cool birds!
ReplyDeleteVery cool but nothing like the Blue Footed Booby!
ReplyDeleteIt would be really hard to make a model of the Red Necked Pheasant!
ReplyDeleteLet us know if you ever catch one:)
I tried to catch one the other day by its nest. What I think was the male jumped up, squwaked and ran away. I chased after it and found out the unnerving fact that pheasants are faster than me.
