6811 gamekeeper's house

I ordered the nestbox and swing-branch from Parts.  The nestbox is lovely (and can fit on any tree part) and the swing-branch will be very useful - but it seems to be a different colour to my other trees:

I'm thinking of doing the same for the nestbox... And the pheasant.

Thanks for the review! 

Yuck!  Those hairstyles are DREADFUL!  And it's a shame that the boy is a repeat...

Realistic colors or not, the pheasant is a must have for me.  I can't wait for this to come out here in the US... I've got a need for that house

Hmmm, the pheasant sounded interesting, but it's nothing colours are like any of the pheasants I've seen in our garden!

Well I would have guessed the neck-and-head was more dark green than blue, but aparently it depends on the light:

I think that the house front would look good with a forest surround.  From the back, though, it is more like a walker's hut than a forest ranger's/gamekeeper's living accommodation.  And what someone who is apparently looking after the forest and the forest animals is doing with a deer skull as decoration, I don't know!  Though it is a very nice deer skull.

True, on both counts. In this 'house' there's not even enough room to put a bed in the upstairs part.
Taking care of baby deer while using granddaddy's head for decoration, it is a bit odd now you mention it

I think it is a very nice set with very nice new items. But I don't get over the disappointment of the house only being a wall... The Alpine hut was about 50 euro with a lot of furniture and a whole house.

still you can be thankfull to your little girl for such a nice purchase.

Pheasants have an iridescent which means that the colour of some of their feathers vary depending on the light, but having said that,those feathers are normally seen as a particular colour, e.g. green round the neck, and the iridescence is something noticeable more close-up  Here's a picture of a pheasant taken from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds website:

Hmmmm... Is it another bird then, maybe? Or did the design team make a mistake?

There are dozens of different species and subspecies of pheasants, as well as naturally occurring hybrids. Kind of like doves. Actually I'm not sure what type of pheasant would share territory with great blue heron.

We have both around here, though pheasants are becoming a lot more scarce

We don't have any pheasants this far south. Do the ones up there look like this?
