Pheasant Fact Friday Because daily temperatures are decreasing, one might think the additional food consumed in October would be used to keep the bird warm — but instead it goes to fat production. Outside temperatures are still within a bird’s “thermoneutral zone,” which is the range of temperatures in which the bird does not need to consume more or less energy in order to survive. The exact zone for pheasants is unknown, but the lower threshold is thought to be around 40 degrees. At 40 degrees, pheasants can keep warm without increasing energy intake. Birds simply ruffle their feathers or roost in protective cover...much like you would wear a sweater or stay out of the wind to keep warm. But below 40 degrees, birds must start consuming more energy to stay warm. Pheasant Fact Friday is presented by @irishsetterboots #pheasantsforever #pheasantfactfriday #thehabitatorganization

This fall, farmers are in the fields and hunters are in the uplands, but the Conservation Reserve Program that supports both has lapsed. CRP helps farmers manage risk and provides habitat for pheasants, quail, and countless other species. With the program’s authority expired, a critical piece of the farm safety net is missing when it’s needed the most. Take action today and urge Congress to reauthorize and strengthen CRP now: https://bit.ly/3KlhXJ6 #pheasantsforever #thehabitatorganization
How fortunate are we? Enjoy the time with family and friends in the field. Make the most of every walk and every flush. Tell your dogs you love and appreciate them. Have fun and be safe out there! #pheasantsforever #thehabitatorganization
