Balance beam (Phasianus colchicus)

This Common Pheasant seems to be getting quite brave now - I've not seen him on the top rail before, the lower one once, but he usually reaches up to it to grab any spilt seed. Really not sure how he manages to keep his balance up there LOL.

Back home now, hopefully the end of hospital visits, follow-up out patients will be a phone call next month. Back a bit sore and I've exercises to do as well as walk-abouts

I will give him a 10 (lol). Gorgeous male showing beautiful colors and still staying perfectly balanced. Excellent work D!
