Book Description

Excerpt from Pheasant Keeping for Amateurs: A Practical Handbook on the Breeding, Rearing, and General Management of Aviary Pheasants I have never been a game-preserver in the common acceptation of the word; but if I were, the height of my ambition would be to see a score or two of those truly majestic birds, -reeves' (an adult male is fully 6ft. Long), feeding from the home coverts towards my windows; he is an ornament to any grounds, and as easy to rear as a chicken.
