331.0. "Pheasents" by AKOV13::LAJEUNESSE () Mon Mar 19 1990 15:14

    Does anyone out there know where I would be able to find domestic
    pheasents?  My brother is interested in breeding some and is having a
    hard time finding them.  
    
    I think he would also like to know if its possible to breed ring necked
    pheasents also.  
    
    Is there a breeder in this file?
    
    Thanks,

331.1Pheasant BreedersFDCV07::BOURGAULTMon Mar 19 1990 18:4419
    Check in the back of Bird Talk.  I believe there are a few breeders of
    game birds (bobwhites, pheasants (both ringneck and golden), canada
    geese, etc.).  I know that I did see them there at one time.
    
    Also in Cage Bird this month,  I have a name of someone who ships
    anywhere:          
                       Willow Game Farm
                       Route 2, Box 415
                       Mt. Crawford, VA 22841
                       Tele: (703) 434-2209
    
     They offer a free brochure.  You may want to call them up.
    
    Another listing:
    
                       Karl Mogenson, Natural Bridge Zoo, VA.

    Hi Mark,
    
    I bet the guy mentioned in note 233 could direct you to someone.

    Hi Doug,
    
    Ya I thought he could but I would prefer to stay local.  As a last
    resort I'll call him.
    
    Thanks,

    Hi Doug,
    
         We get our turkeys, pheasants, etc. from a breeder in Hubbardston,
    MA.  Send me mail if you're interested and I can give you his name and
    phone number.

    P.S.  The ring-neck pheasants we've gotten from this person are great,
    as are his golden and lady amhearst.  We ship them to our place on an
    island in RI, use them for tick control.
