Reeves Pheasant

Well, it seems the Reeves Pheasant has befriended us. He seems to have taken a serious liking to the bird seed. You can tell in these photos that his tail has been altered/cut and is perhaps growing back. The short tail was the only thing that didn’t match up to all the other photos of Reeves Pheasants that I saw, so now that makes sense. I did read that their tail feathers are sought after which could explain their alteration; but it could be that another animal damaged them too. I’m thinking of calling our local wildlife officials to let them know just in case an owner is looking for it. But for now we have been so blessed by this bird’s visits!
