Hello,I have had pheasants in my garden, and seen them all over, they have survived a shoot on the neighbouring estate. It is very cold now and I presume they are used to being housed and fed. How can I help them survive?In answering please consider that I have a cat who I have previously seen stalking pheasants in the garden. Also that I am concerned about creating dependency on my feeding them, as I may need to move out of the property when my job concludes mid next year.If they can manage without my help that would be a huge relief, so please let me know.I live in rural Devon. Not many water sources except the sea immediately near my property. Nearest river puts them back on the estate that wants to shoot them.Any advice gratefully received, they have been around since last week pecking weeds/ground in the field behind my house.
