My husband saw that we had a visitor in our garden this morning. He was absolutely beautiful! I fed him and he was so tame, he came right up to me and it wasn't until my neighbours cat poked her head over the fence that he flew away.

I just love animals and feel priviledged to have had such a lovely breakfast guest. One day we had a scrawny old fox visit us, another day a red kite dropped in and sat on our wheelbarrow to eat the food that he had caught.
I know these creatures are not as exotic as some that have been posted on TT but I loved seeing them and thought I would share my visitor with you today.

Hugs Jane.  bear_thumb  bear_flower  bear_thumb

Wow! He looks exotic to me.  What type of bird is it?? It looks like it may be a giant pheasant type of bird!?
   Thanks for sharing his picture,

Jeannie, he is a 'Melanistic Mutant Pheasant' it is a pure breed, although the name would make you think differently. These large, beautiful pheasants have an iridescent, greenish-black plumage and a red face. They display a remarkable ability to survive and reproduce in the wild.

What beautiful coloring, especially his head !  Thanks for sharing.  He is much more attractive than the ring-necked pheasant around here.

What a beautiful bird and a fun guest for breakfast.  I don't mean you had him for breakfast, well you know what I mean.

Jane: that is a beautiful bird. I don't get anything as beautiful as that. Oh maybe an owl or a turkey but nothing like what you have there...you lucky duck...
