The birds are released into their natural habitat to replenish the population. They were specially purchased in Bryukhovetsky District for this purpose.
North Caucasian pheasants are expected to diversify the local population, according to the chairman of the Krasnoarmeysky District hunters and fishermen society.
“Bryukhovetsky District has a specialized farm with incubators and other equipment where the birds are raised until they are two months old. Under the agreement, our society annually purchases young pheasants so that newcomers from other areas can strengthen the local population. This helps refresh the gene pool,” he noted.
A total of 300 pheasants were released into the wild. Although the bird population is stabilizing, hunting restrictions remain in place in the district—only males can be hunted.
Additionally, 200 North Caucasian pheasants were released in Temryuksky District. The birds were raised by employees of the Kuban Pheasant enterprise. Every year, over 5,000 pheasants are released into their natural habitat in the region.
