Mike, <<I question the theory that there are "nice" birds. Some, due to size, weak arsenals or separation from anything they can bother "seem" nice enough.>> That's why I put the "" around nice. Hard to be ironic via the keyboard sometimes. You kept pheasants? Hmm. What's the deal with these birds as pets? I mean I'm considering some chickens, but for eggs mostly. Neighbor farm behind us has peacocks and pea hens too, I believe. Unfortunately, their coop is under a large tree where it's dark most of the time and rather small IMO. I'd like to seem them out walking about, displaying. Their screeching makes me feel like I'm at the zoo. Can they escape or defend themselves against say, a 40lb dog? My big dog wouldn't hurt them but maybe that's their concern and why they keep 'em cooped. I would think a full-grown cat would be too much of a challenge for most hawks. We sometimes have some pretty big owls roosting on a telephone pole in the evening. I imagine he could snatch a kitten without much hesitation. Loofah
