Pheasants(Phasianus colchicus)
There are many different names for the same bird
which also have many different appearances. The
look that is characteristic for the bird that we
usually can see outdoors throughout the year and
especially during the hunting season in the fall and
the winter is the ring-necked pheasant. This bird
has a reddish feathers and a white ring around the
neck.
The
main difference between the rooster pheasants is the
color on the back, which can vary from brown, gold brown to a bluish shade.
The brown
pheasant is usually named as Caucasus and the blue
one is called Michigan Blue. Different points of view
on the respective colors does exist and it is an
on-going discussion every year amongst people within
the industry.
The combination that
we are looking for and use for breeding is a bird
that stays hidden when danger is near, but will then
take off and prove to be a very good flyer.
What
causes the bird to behave differently we can not tell, but our birds in the right hands,
will give you great hunting days!
Partridge(Perdix perdix )
There are eight different
sub-species, based on color differences in the feather
costume. There have been studies in the field
performed in Finland about which is the original
species. The results showed that the mixture is very
large within the partridges, but a minority was found that looks like the original
species that were established in Finland in early
days.
The Partridge
Family is also divided in two groups, one with
Eastern species and with Western Species.
The original species
in Finland
look like the partridges in the wild that we can
find in different locations throughout Sweden. The partridges
we own comes from different places in Sweden
and are self reproductive in
the wild, for example in Gävletrakten (limes
norrlandicus), which means that they can survive our climate and conditions if they only get a good start in life.
The first weeks of a game bird’s life will
reflect during its whole life cycle. The partridges
we have will certainly survive in more Northern
climates as well.
