Two pheasant cocks
And a partridge-less wonky pear tree!
Please note how there is only one pheasant cock in that picture. Again, skimping on the true love, Flâneur Husband? I mean, what’s another pheasant, really… Because yes, we only have one pheasant cock visiting our garden, and though he’s handsome, surely, and two of them might mean trouble, I think it would have been nice to then at least have a pheasant hen. But no, apparently there’s no room in the budget for more than this solitary fellow…
He would be welcome here, partner or not. What a real beauty. In Pennsylvania we had many pheasant but not here in NY. They are such a beautiful bird.
They are probably the most beautiful birds we find in the Northern Hemisphere…
(When I was a child I once reared 18 pheasant chicks to be released on my grandfather’s land. If they had any sense they will have stuck within the boundaries of his fields as he was a really bad hunter and only ever shot one of my pheasants…)
