That, madam, is a male pheasant. He lives in our block (it's a circular "block," and our yard is the keyhole lot in the center of the ring) on fallen crabapples and other fruit, water features, landscape foraging, and, apparently, bird feeders. XD
He's been advertising for a girlfriend for about two months now, without success. He can't see why not! :O! This is PLUM DIGS he has going! Food, water, plenty of cover (....we need to weed. ^^;;;;), and the dogs don't even bark at him any more! And yet no ladypheasant has stepped up to the plate probably because there simply isn't one in the area yet. X3 I'm tempted to go to the county fair this fall and buy him one.
LOL he is. He is very affronted by existence (of everything not-him) in general, which is hilarious because he's got a pretty sweet life. This would be why he came in from the desert in the first place.
I don't know that it would know what to do with all the hair.
We get hawks and falcons here a lot, and from time to time they land. Swingsets seem to be popular to the bird-of-prey crowd. (Magpies and doves apparently have the roof monopoly.)

My parents occasionally get pheasant in their back yard. Though the falcon still tops the list. I thought it was going to eat Mocha. X3
