Comment on Modern Pheasant Rearing By Len Chappell by ray

The best way of helping pheasants when nesting is to avoid the area if possible and keep any pets well away,
pheasants brood for about 20 days and after that the young are taken from the area to feed and learn how to survive.

Comment on Guinea Fowl Social Behaviour by Gray Schmidt

Dear Sara,
First of all, Thanks for your time!
Now,my question:
I started with 6 Guinea Fowl; raised from keets in my kitchen. We’ve got a small farm in the country
Over the 5 years, all have been killed off except 1 male whose mate was killed via auto about 2 weeks ago. All were well trained as is “Mosby”, The sole Survivor. He gets along fine with the outdoor cats, follows me around and hangs around the back porch door when not snacking nearby.
I spend as much time with him as possible but my medical limitations prevent LOTS of attention and adding more Guineas.
Do you have ANY suggestions for Mosby’s (and my) comfort. He’s got a secure house in a pen but far prefers “Free Range” life, near the house (Quality of life over Quantity of life)
Many, Many, Thanks,

Gray

Comment on What To Do If You Find A Pigeon Egg by Keisha

Keisha — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 03:43:49 +0000

Hi there!

We have a pair of feral pigeons which recently laid 2 eggs. For the first week, i noticed that they started to incubate the eggs. One time while I was checking their nest, one off the eggs keep falling on a small opening in the nest box. I would always pick it up using a tissue and check for cracks. After a few days I could see the embryo inside the two eggs (did the flashlight method). This all went well until I notice that both parents were not sitting on their eggs for how many days now. I am worried that the eggs will spoil. It would be a shame because both eggs are already fertilized. Is this a normal pigeon behavior to abandon their eggs? Did I disturb them by picking one of their eggs whenever it falls down the nestbox?
