Mike, I was out yesterday collecting birds for the WV Dept of AG to do the normal 90 AI swab testing in 14* temps with snow flurries. It took us 2 hrs and I froze my a$$ of. Last year on this date it was 56* and sunshine. Where is Al Gore and his Global Warming when you need him. Steve Pheasant Hollow Farm |

Here's your recipe kids!!!
Copied from the email he sent me....
Anybody offering a hunt in return for the secret recipe! (This is his request, not mine!!)
It's simple. Lightly pepper the birds, wrap in one slice of bacon, stuff with your favorite stuffing mix and put the extra around the birds in a round dish. I had to play with the temperature from 350 to 400 and ended up cooking them until the internal temp was 165 degrees. Remove from oven, drain the bacon grease and chow

...by the time I remove it, the birds usually have stripped all the green and bark from it.
Went out today and took these pictures of some cedars I have in the flight pens. Well, I did remove the one that's been stripped. |

I wouldn't say they eat it. They really just pick and pull it apart.
It definitely keeps them occupied and from picking at each other (won't really make them stop picking each other though if that has already started).
I've experimented with other items too. I've put a full square bale of straw or hay inside the pen and they will have the entire bale torn apart within a week (depends on how many birds are in the pen).
Bad part about the straw or hay bales is that it ends up under the elevated wire floor as it falls through and it really needs cleaned out as it takes quite awhile for it to decompose on its own.

Food store in town had a bunch of X-mas trees left over. I picked some up (free) and put one with each pair of Valley Quail. Haven't seen them since !
I can see them, if I sneek up and look through the window though.
Much calmer inside now when doing water food etc.
