Pheasant is very tasty.

[dirtboy]

Tie them to the land and make them property of the nobles!

Oh, you said "pheasant".

[nuconvert]

May be injured. May be sick. I don't think I'd be quick to make it dinner. How about calling a bird sanctuary or wildlife refuge or animal rescue?

[Gingersnap]

Well, pheasant is finger-licking good but it's not too sporting to pot an injured bird.

Don't you have a bird rescue down there? Let them handle it if the bird needs medical treatment.

[JRandomFreeper]

Escoffier suggests barding it with thin slices of salt pork fat and roasting at high temp for 25-30 minutes according to the size of the bird. Or, if you have truffles, Faisan Truffe sounds good (recipe 3942).

Some people are thinking Epiphany Eve dinner...

One pheasant will serve only one, maybe two if they are not hungry. Look up bird sanctuary in the local phone book and call them.

Capture the bird and take it to a local PETA headquarters.
Cook it on a grill about 20 feet from their window.

Taxidermy for your living room mantle.

If you breed your pheasant with a chukar you'll get a pleasing crossbreed. I've heard it is the new mascot of the DUmmies...."Phukar".

Shoot it, clean it, eat it.
