I adopted a few from Cindy in Jamul just weeks ago. They are very pretty in coloration, smaller, and slender looking than city Pigeons. Hopefully I can get some baby birds from them soon. They are housed with my Golden Pheasants. There are too many of them to name...besides...some of them look so much alike.

I bought the trio on May 24th as an early Father's Day gift for 2008. The trio is 2 months old but here are some pictures of the parents (3 years old). They are pretty aren't they? Pictures of the young trio that I have is going to be in http://animalsinthecity2.webs.com/. The owner of these silvers had them for many years, breed them down from generation to generation, but he recently passed away at the age of 69. His youngest son, Andrew, took over the business/hobby now. He is just as nice as his father was. : )

Tail Length: 28 inches

These are the pure red golden pheasants. Technically, they cost more than any other red golden mutants like the Dark-throated, Yellow, Cinnamon, Salmon, and Snowflake. Again, here are the pictures of the parents and the young ones will be in http://animalsinthecity2.webs.com/. The parents are 3 years old. Great plummage.

Tail Length: 30 inches

I have a Cinnamon & D.T. Golden Pheasant Pair that my dad bought...which is also from George Nelson, President of The Game Bird Club of San Diego. Technically, its my dad's bird because he bought them : ) Nelson's house has a HUGE front yard Aviary with many mixed species. Rare peafowls are in there as well.

The pair is about 2-3 years old and are in full plumage @ this time of year. Hopefully I can get some eggs from them around March. I still need to find out how I can build a successful nesting box for the hen to start laying, hopefully she can hatch them on her own. That will save me and my father so much time!!! 

Tail Length: 28 inches

This Birchen Modern Game Trio was purchased from George Nelson. He's a very friendly guy; loves to chat about all kinds of game birds and their unique characteristics. This Trio is show quality "SQ" and were bought for $150. I believe they are worth it and hope to get some chicks from them to carry on the good gene. They are about 2-3 years old.

The Roo's name is "Red", looks bossy even though he is a really tamed rooster; kept to himself most of the time. He has a very nice stature at times but I don't always have a camera handy when needed. I named him "Red" because his skin is pretty much red everywhere. Maybe because I named him "Red", he doesn't like that color now! lol; I just found this out only recently, way after I named him...so its funny how things work huh?

Whenever my father walks outside with his red spotted P.J...Red would just follow him, crowing loudly, sometimes sneaking up and attacking him from behind. There are days when he's crazy enough to just go charging at my dad once he see's the red. Haha. He's so small though (25-oz), so my dad said "I barely felt anything, lol, silly little guy".  Silly Red!
