PHEASANT FACT Saturday -

This is why the price of Adults goes up after January first.

January is the coldest month of the year. A 2°F night with even a moderate wind of 11 mph creates a windchill of -25°F. How can pheasants survive such conditions? While you can wear another wool scarf or down vest, the pheasant has only the clothes it grew last July.

In October it could ruffle its feathers for more insulation, but that's not enough now. The answer to staying alive in January is food and habitat. Each pheasant must increase its energy intake to offset the increased loss of body heat, and to maintain it's 108°F temperature. In January the bird needs 504 kcal/day for warmth and weight gain. This mid-winter dietary requirement is equal to two McDonald's hamburgers or three Snickers candy bars a day - nearly double that needed last October.

Pheasant Fact Friday is presented by Irish Setter Boots
