Pheasants in our garden

This spring the pheasants are very fearless, walking cross the garden daily. Here is one couple.

Beautiful. Very colourful.
I assume they're welcome? Or do they scratch and kick the garden to death?
Dont know what they get upto, but a blackbird that size would surely make carnage.

They are most welcome. Do not harm the garden at all, though the voice is not the prettiest.

It's interesting how we can feel differently about the same thing. . To me, the pheasant's vocalizations are one of my favorite sounds in all the world.

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".
