I was thinking of this post a few weeks ago as there is a pheasant that seems to tolerate me being within a few yards and then a bit closer whilst it was eating my greens and apples. Then I started to throw a few damaged apples to a regular place and it seemed to be a bit more comfortable.

Well I'd been away for a few days and on returning the pheasant popped out of the hedge and came up to within a few feet, clearly expecting to be fed.

The problem is by encouraging the pheasant I have no kale as it has eaten every single leaf.
