Every time he leaves his house the pheasant waddles into his garden from a nearby field and pecks him with his beak. The bird flaps his wings and attacks John's legs, arms and head – often chasing him round the garden as he tries to escape.
The bird has even learned to spot when the front door is open – and runs into the house to attack John and his wife. He is now forced to leave his house by climbing out of a back window so he can avoid a daily pecking from his feathered foe.
John, of Branscombe, East Devon, said: "Every time I get in my car he comes after me down the road and I have to accelerate to get away. My wife can't sit in the garden without him pestering her. It was quite funny to start with, but now its extremely irritating. A spokesman for the National Gamekeepers Organisation said the animal is probably defending its territory in a nearby field.

I bet a sling shot with some small rocks would help the situation.
Roast phesant is really quite delicious.
I wonder what this guy did to teh bird to piss it off in the first place? Did he run over some of its young with a lawn mower?
Last year, every morning when I went to go feed my donkeys, a female pheasant would fly out of the shed and scare the cr@p out of me. It was every morning but I never copped on as I was always half asleep.
That is until the I found a pile of pheasant feathers outside the shed door.
I guess I have foxes too.
