Fancy Pheasants
They started raising Ringneck Pheasants 21 years ago but now concentrate on more exotic species. Gary and Susette Simpson of Norwich provided a fascinating summer program on their birds at a recent club meeting. The Simpsons are fully licensed by NYS to raise their pheasants and currently are hatching six of the world's 15 endangered species. Eggs are laid in the spring but it will be fall before the Simpsons can ship their birds to zoos, other breeding programs, or private collectors across the country or internationally. Most birds are in peak color during October. Public tours of the Simpson's facility can be arranged by calling 607-334-3596.
