Thread: pheasant eegs

Does someone know who is a contact for pheasant eggs in a large volume ?cheers

If you are buying these to hatch, why bother? Day olds are cheap as chips, success rates can vary when you incubate your own

Try Jeff Niblett for bulk birds, teferrarri for small lots perhaps?

You trying a variation to the B&E pie El B?

New Zealand Gamebirds | Pheasants, partridge, upland game, shooting, hunting, NZ, game preserves, breeding birds

Not for me but a contact in New Caladonia was asking .Thanks for the contact GQhoon and Pointer --Ill stick with the BE pie as is Rushy lol .cheers

Wow they live in a great place if they are allowed to import bird eggs, wish we could do that!

I'd have capercaillie for the CNI pines, grouse on the desert road in the heather, stubble quail for the big wheat fields in the south, and I'd find a place for ptarmigan somewhere haha

add Hungarian partridge on a large scale.... And woodcock (but being a migratory bird it might not work)....

Wishfull thinking Gibo... We all know most of those species probably won't make it in NZ....

Hungarian partridge being from the Phasianidae family they'd probably do good in NZ if looked after properly. They live similar life to the pheasants, quite territorial in breeding too.
I'd think they'd do good in Northland, south island open fields that Pointer is talking about and they'd do good in corn maize.

They feed in open fields but need scrubby cover on the edges which we have plenty of around waterways, to keep the birds of pray away...
Good thing is they breed like quail and keep in coveys, which makes them a good game bird over a pointing dog....

But hey, I'm sure there are pros and cons with competition of food against native birdlife, which is why I respect NZ a bit for. They do look after their native goods closely. But its a sword with two blades.... We all want what we can't have....


In saying that I'm quite disappointed with the use of 1080....

I think you're foregetting that in the not too distant past over 100,000 of the little buggers were released at various sites across the country to no avail. Shows how much our government has changed!

Excuse my spelling stupid tapatalk

Hungarian partridge Jim?

FML... sorry, tried to edit my initial post... ended up screwing it up...

Those perdiz would be worth a crack . They look like the pointing dogs dream . Hold up in 3 inches of grass .from all the photos I've seen

Yep and perdiz seem to like it wet too going by Linyeras pics, and they breed like rabbits from what I've read on them.

Pete excuse my spelling mistakes, and that was supposed to be 10,000 not 100,000. The partridge has been tried many times, no one really knows why it failed, I doubt it was anything simple as the last attempts were all government funded and well thought out!
