          I thought pheasants were vegetarian. :scratch:

          The crows knocked the hanger containing the fat cake from my bird feeder and one of the male pheasant has eaten about 200gms of it! :hate-shocked:

                  Some birds ie chickens will eat a bit of flesh for the protein, chickens will pull a feather out of another chicken to get the bit of flesh that is on the end of the feather once they've tasted it
