    Ciaran67, as has been mentioned before, I really think posters should keep their rants to themselves and follow the correct procedure on situations like this.

    Go over and talk to Mr Pheasant or leave a calmly worded note for his attention. If this seems to be not working then write to the management company.

    Do not use this forum to tarnish the reputation of Mr Pheasant.

    He could be reading.

    :D

    I actually really love hearing the pheasant calling out, even if it is at 5.30am. I have seen him feeding at that hour, right outside my apartment. Great see such a variety of life here.

    Have to agree there Great White! I live in Seabourne, and between the Pheasants and Peacocks (over on Glenroe Farm), almost feels like I'm waking up on Foto Wildlife park!! :P Also, every evening you can see bats, hedgehogs, badgers, foxes and more outside around the grounds. I personally love it! :D

    I know what you mean it is nice to have a bit of wildlife. We've found him very funny especially when he sees you and slowly crouches down like hes going down in an elevator. Just yesterday he was about 10 yards from the bedroom window and making a right racket.

    V funny CC btw.

    I love all the wildlife too. It really makes me appreciate being out of the city where all you are mostly to see are Rats and Pigeons.

    Careful with the badgers though, have seen them around and they can be vicious if you happen to stumble near their den / warren. A local farmer told me that when he is out walking, he always carries a stick with him. Apparently if you startle or corner a Badger (even by accident), they will bit down hard on you and won't release till they hear a bone break. This is where the stick comes in handy, you break it in two and the cracking sound tricks the badger into thinking he broke your bone and he will let go.

    Where am I going with this ?

    Oh yeah, love wildlife :D

    Cant get over the amount you see dead on the roads here. Driving back from Donegal a few weeks ago was like some sort of horror movie for them.

    Yes. Tis true. Last year was a record year for broken leg hospital admissions as a result of badger attacks.NOT!!!!!!!!!. [SNIP]. Otherwise they will not, repeat not harm anyone.

    Lol.

    Its amazing that something can annoy you. But if it goes you can actually miss it.

    There was a beleaguered looking pheasant running around on the SAR up near the Kilpedder Interchange yesterday evening alright. Was only a matter of time before he got it. I don't think it was our friend tho!
