Each hen can lay 2-3 nests of eggs per year, and each nest reaches more than 10 eggs, which can be said to be extremely reproductive. Coupled with the fact that pheasants are adept at using the complex terrain of mountainous areas to avoid predators, this has also led to their rapid growth in numbers.
Due to the large number of pheasants and their strong ability to survive, they give to the NortheastAgricultureProduction has brought no small trouble. Every spring and summer, flocks of pheasants will fly into the fields to feed, from wheat, to wheatCornVegetablesTo rice, almost everything is eaten.

In order to manage and control pheasant populations, protect farmland andPoultryAquaculture, you can take the following actions:
1.Strengthen the management and protection of farmland. Fences can be built around the farmland to prevent pheasants from entering the farmland to feed. Bird repellent devices such as noise loggers can be installed in farmland to effectively repel pheasants.
2.Strengthen sanitation and clean-up in villages. Clean up the areas around the village where pheasants live, such as stagnant water and gravel piles, to reduce their living space.
3.Encourage the legality of pheasantsHunting。It can be done by relaxing pheasantsHuntingpolicy restrictions that encourage specialized hunters orFarmersPheasant hunting is carried out and pheasant meat is legally sold, so as to control the pheasant population to a certain extent.
