Hi Roland:

A number of years ago, there were quite a few bird fanciers on CSI.  If you
mean Red Golden Pheasants, there were a number of them around.  I had a pair
during that same time, and it wasn't illegal to keep them. My pair nested
but weren't good about sitting on the eggs, and I eventually sold them.
They were certainly beautiful.

     I have heard a report that says there are two golden pheasants -
probably male and female - wandering around on Cape Sable Island. I think
the birds are native of China, and I think it is illegal to keep them in NS.
I believe the birds are often found in apiaras and places were numbers of
rare birds are kept.  Can anyone enlighten me about golden pheasants in
general and the birds on Cape Island in particular.

 

Roland.
