Pheasant under glass.....well, not yet anyway!

This pheasant was raised at a game farm near our home in Kansas. See the little blinder stapled to his nose? When they are babies, they put those on, so keep them from killing one another. Well, the day I visited this particular pheasant and a few hundred of his friends, they were the "chosen ones" to be crated up, as you see here, and taken elsewhere to be placed in a field eventually, and given a sporting chance for a hunt. So....Pheasant under glass??? - maybe!!

Shoo bird!

Driving the pheasants from one end of the outdoor pen to the other...and then into the barn!

Don't upset the pheasants!

As the owner of the pheasant farm and his help drove the birds to one end of the pen, from time to time, they would get a bit excited, this was one of those times. Feathers and dirt flying like crazy, squaking and wings flopping...what a site to see and quite the sound to hear as well!

Catching pheasants for the hunt

This young man is in the barn at the pheasant farm near us. He is assisting the owner by helping catch pheasants that will then be packed in crates and taken out for a hunt.

Pheasant awaiting sunrise

This female pheasant awaits the sunrise at a local game farm.

In this particular enclosure were some of the younger birds. I did not get up there in the spring to take pictures like I wanted to so I did not get to see any babies this year, maybe next spring!
