Phoenix 1, our only remaining golden pheasant (see first posts for that story), is finally, finally, coming to terms with his ‘only’ status and is my new best friend. Lately he has been coming closer and closer to me at the back doorstep and he seems a lot happier now that he is interacting with the other bird breeds.
I am searching for a female pheasant to keep him company but they are not easy to find.
He isn’t quite as obsessed with his own reflection in the window as he used to be, but he still likes to have a quick glance now and then. Well, you can’t blame him, can you – he is absolutely beautiful and he knows it!
What a gorgeous bird! First time I see one like that. Thank you Julie! 🙂
If you go back to the beginning of my blog you will see some amazing pics, taken by my niece, of the battle between Phoenix 1 and 2. It was both awful and awesome!
Oh my, he is gorgeous!!
He certainly is!
Stunning creature!
I love observing birds and this is a first for me. Greetings from Alberta Canada. Jane
Thanks! We lived in Toronto for five years when I was a kid.
I grew up in Oshawa.
Where’s that? Sorry – it’s been a long time.
45 miles east of downtown Toronto-I talkmiles so that was a long time ago.LOL
Oh – I guess I should have known that but I was still a kid when we left Canada. I talk in miles too!!!
He’s gorgeous!!!!
Sure is!
What a beautiful bird! I have never seen so many colors and designs on a bird before.
And he has a really loooooong tail that my photo didn’t catch properly!
DD, I am just shaking my head. What a beauty. I just try to picture you in the midst of everything going on around you. Margie
All pretty beautiful alright!
He is a beautiful bird! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a golden pheasant before. I had no idea they were so colorful.
Yeah, they look like something out of a fantasy!
Hi,
Yes I should imagine it would be hard to find another pheasant, they are not something you see very much at all. But they are a beautiful bird, such gorgeous colours. 🙂
I look in the quokka every week but so far no luck.
He’s certainly a beauty!
He doesn’t look real!
Magnificent! Nothing else I can comment. God, you really have this guy in the garden… Find him a mate now.. we want him to have more chicks.
Yes, I had two once. Looking hard for a wife for him!
Good luck in finding a mate for him.
I will find one!
Reminds me of a Budgerigar. Are they not native to Australia?
No, not native to Australia so that’s why I’m having a hard time finding a female pheasant.
That is really one amazing looking bird. So handsome!
And he knows it!
Isn’t that always the case with handsome young devils?
Beautiful, beautiful bird. I hope you can find him a mate.
Still looking for one!
Gorgeous 🙂
Alas a fox killed him right in the front yard a few months ago.
Ugh. Damn.
