    We've all waited so long for this, birds have gone from a Hut to a Castle!

    According to a quick Wikipedia search, the Golden Pheasants normally live in dense forest and roost in those trees at night. It may be that the vast open spaces are a bit un-nerving for them. Consider planting some kind of prairie grasses, pampas grass, perhaps cedar trees or bamboo. Talk to a nurseryman about the types of trees and grasses that can provide cover for this species and will survive your harsh winters. Judging from the fact that they did not go back in their house, they will need some kind of weather proof structure. And since they have been accustomed to their chicken tractor, perhaps go ahead and bring that into the habitat in the meantime

      I was thinking the same thing...might be good to add some bushes, small trees, grasses, etc. so that they have protective cover (even though predators can't get to them from above or otherwise). Suspect it is stressful in a wide open space that makes them feel vulnerable.

      Anything but bamboo, it will over fill the aviary. Bamboo spreads like crazy and is extremely hard to get rid of if you decide you don't want it anymore xD

    • @fabriglas
      @fabriglas 29 дней назад

      Suggest something fake less work but gives cover for birds.. lots of bird poo kills plants so it would have to be something robust if it's natural! Sorry bamboo would eventually have then re doing aviary!

  • @Something-Somes
    @Something-Somes Месяц назад +187

    @Jake The pheasant like lots of cover. Build some nice garden boxes that are low and high. Than plant stuff like corn that has stiff stalks and have some height to them. If you can find some stalks you can also build nesting boxes that are wrapped and hidden in the stalks. I have also seen small teepees work in the past but they don't last as long.
    You can dress up bins with stalks and foliage and cover them in camo the birds like too. They are easily able to be moved around like mini tractors as well. Good for times of nesting when you need to get eggs. If it gets real windy you may need to tie those down though.
    Just a helpful reminder that fake trees and foliage are not good for birds if they ingest them so be mindful of that. I would suggest getting some transported fruit trees to add in the aviary. You might have a difficult time finding stalks now too so hay will probably be your best bet rather than fake stuff. If you have to do something store bought I would suggest hemp products but be aware that if you get nest baskets the birds spurs and feet can get caught in those. I lost birds to this before.
    Am happy to finally see things come together and I am excited to see what you guys do next. Work is never done on a farm lol. Happy Holidays!

    • @codyhunt5022

      I was thinking the same. They need some coverage

    • @shadytreez
      @shadytreez 29 дней назад +3

      I was thinking some kind of bush. Maybe blueberry or red current bushes? They are thinner shrubs, so you can see them hiding in there, and the shrubs will produce food for them.

    • @Something-Somes
      @Something-Somes 29 дней назад +3

      @@shadytreez Berries are one of the best options actually. They are safer than other fruits. I would suggest a mulberry tree but trees in an aviary have to be trimmed and maintained so bushes might be easier for them. Good call!

    WOW! This is amazing, fantastic, and wonderful. I was worried I would not live long enough to see your aviary, as I just turned 78 in October. I have been following you and your family since you lived in the other house and had only two boys. But what you all do for your birds is give them a permanent home, and I wish you all good health and
    happiness. 🐦🐦🎆🎆🎉🎊😀😀❤

    • @ErikAndrew-q2p
      @ErikAndrew-q2p 10 дней назад

      Agreed. I also like the idea, for all animals, of giving them multiple options, roosts, nests, hiding spots, etc., plus that helps keep things slightly cleaner for longer. More than that though, having multiple areas and things they're familiar with (like the coop) is great ENRICHMENT.

  • @EuroTravChannel

    I'm so happy for the birds. I'm very thankful for the loving owners. I do have a small addition: the peacocks are tropical. They grow naturally in hot climate of Cuba, the Caribbean, Mexico, Florida, New Mexico, etc. The golden pheasant, although colorful, is South temperate climate. The can live happily in Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, etc. That's why they are not returning to the house on their own. The Mandarin duck can take the winter of New York. But they are migratory in the wild. They usually fly back to the climate of South Carolina for winter.

I can see the 2nd 3rds and 4th guessing in your eyes. I know how much those birds mean to you & your family.. Releasing them out there in that big shelter had to almost feel like letting your kids finger go so they can walk on their own for the 1st time.. Fear of them falling but the joy of that 1st step “ flying” … ❤❤ your family has worked so hard on this shelter.. I hope it keeps everyone safe, and we all get to continue to watch those beautiful birds fly! ❤❤

It so nice to finally see them in their forever home!
