big frost gets pheasnts

 Got two cock pheasants here.  One in my garden and one  over the fence next
door within a foot of the other, they did not fight as as unable to, but
they eyeballed each other.
Cock pheasants fight as bad as chicken boys do.

I did not get the feeling they wanted to fight, and they didn't even when
then were in  the same  space.

extent that entering your own garden can be a problem.

Being in an area where pheasants are bred for shooting, there are loads
of them around here. Never seen the boys fighting. I suspect it depends
on how much food is available, if there is plenty to go round, no
problem, otherwise it is a case of survival.

they get along resonably well but not in the spring.

We used to get them here but either they're all in the pot or our dogs
scared them off, or both.  When they started fighting it was scary to
see those spurs lined up!
