He’s A Survivor

[Russ 11]

Don’t know where he came from but pretty cool he is still alive . Tons of predators both land and air .

He won't last long sitting out in the open of a field.

He’s got some thick hedgerows close by . But the odds are not good for a pen raised bird.

If they don't get picked off quickly, they usually smarten up. They can go a while but eventually will fall prey to one of many predators on the ground or in the air.

If they have "been there for years" then they are wild birds. Quite different than a pen raised bird. In all the years I have belonged to a Semi-wild Club, there is NO evidence of stocked birds breeding. If they did, you would eventually come across immature birds.

Places like bent creek and cranberryhallfarm breed their own birds.  People buy birds all the time so they could produce.  In fact the last few weeks of the semi wild season the birds usually don't fly because the gens have eggs and males are looking for tge hens.

I really don't understand the point you are trying to make.
