Well I have been trying to get a video of this crazy male Pheasant that has adopted ours and our neighbors yards. He must have been raised and then released. He is so neat to see under our bird feeder.
But he has a funny quirk. He loves to race vehicles that come down our dead end road. The other day I was sitting in the kitchen watching the birds and here come Phez strolling into the front yard. Just then the mail man drove past our house and he was off running after the car as fast as he could go.
I sat their laughing at the sight. So I kept watch knowing that the mail man would be driving past our place again soon. Sure enough. There came the mail car with Phez in hot pursuit. I think he must associate cars with being fed as he will chase after any car that comes down the road. I will keep trying to get a video of him doing his car act.

Very cute. We raised a turkey one time..a male...he got mean..we released him and he was attacking people for a great distance from our house. We knew it was him for he fought with a dog and won but has a droopy wing. Someone finally shot him to protect the kids at waiting for the school bus. must be in the hormones.

It sounds as though he was brought up by humans and fed from a car. They feed pheasants on large estates over here like that sometimes. I hope you do manage you get a video of him.

Is it an offensive tactic i.e. trying to scare them away?
