you have not cleaned to many birds have you lay the bird on its back spread the wings apart as far as you can and stand on them with your feet against the breast on both sides grab the birds feet and with a quick jerk there you have it no knife needed

Have managed to follow your instructions in the middle of the night, and without leaving any trace of feathers or blood. My wife finds the whole business of skinning and gutting too much.

Brilliant video on how to "peel" a pheasant. I had never been brave enough to deal with a pheasant from scratch (and have an allergy to feathers that makes plucking unpleasant). Tonight we will eat pheasant casserole with pride Jane

Thanks very much for this. Just bought my first brace at a poultry auction and had no idea what to do with them! This makes it look simple so am now looking forward to preparing and eating them!! Thanks again :-)

Excellent video - found a cock pheasant freshly killed on the road yesterday, I'll let it hang for another few days and then prep it up as in the video- Many thanks!

Brilliant - I've got a brace in my kitchen and was just thinking how I couldn't be bothered to pluck them, when I came across this video. More videos for the culinarily challenged please!

much easier than plucking, and you dont end up looking like the phesant, coverd in feathers.
