Why Do European Farmers And Hunters Have To Deal With Millions Of Pheasants? | Farm Documentary

hello my friends V are not  exactly a common invasive species they have many benefits  and contribute to the European economy of about 1.5 billion EUR billion do so why did European farmers  and Hunters hunt millions of fens here is the video for you guys please enter act with us by commenting High Down  Below in the comment section right now and for now let's begin this hilarious video first of all phz are arous  birds they eat many different types of plants yes they are one of the  invasive sp

ecies that damages crops with such small bodies you cannot know how much they eat a study in England found  that fizziness can eat up to 5,511 lbs of food per day equivalent to about  15% of the wheat yield of an acre of land this can cause significant damage to crops  especially during dry periods or water shortages as the weather gets  drier the fields begin to dry out Vin do not just stop at eating grass  you will dig in the soil to find insects inside the soil and many different  types of pl

ants and degrade the land not only that but the number of  fen populations increased rapidly when entering the reproductive cycle  a Fant will lay about 10 to 15 eggs they will lay eggs in enclosed areas such as bushes the mother Fant will then  incubate the eggs for about 21 days newly hatched chicks will then  be taken by their mother to look for food according to a study by the international  Union for conservation of nature iucn the growth rate of fizzin populations in  Europe is on average

about 10% per year this means that a Fen population of  100 will increase to 110 by the end of the year hunting to control Fen populations  is the leading measure introduced in Europe in Europe vins are popular hunting  birds this is an important economic activity in Europe to control the population and increase  economic Revenue in year European Farmers have run parallel Fant farming systems to serve  as hunting services and control wild fizzin populations it is understood that farmers have  ge

nerated income from selling fiz for hunting Services farmers raise lifestock using  modern methods from incubation to breeding the entire Farm is surrounded by large Nets  so that the chickens cannot move outside the far in these areas Farmers grow agricultural  products to provide food for chickens when they weigh enough to be hunted they will be hered into a corner and about 5 to 10  Fant Harvesters will move to the hunting areas vant hunting season usually  begins in August and lasts until De

cember during this time millions of  fizzin are hunted each year each year European Farmers earn about $500  million from Raising and supplying fzs about $1.2 billion contributes to the European  economy every year in terms of hunting millions of fizzin after being harvested fizziness  will be released into the field where hunters will have to pay to  hunt and European countries also set regulations and a number of  fizziness allowed per day for each Hunter this is to ensure stricter  control of

the Fant population the number of fizzin after being hunted will  be harvested and processed by the hunters themselves visit meat is a popular dish Fizz  and bodies are quite small and you will think how many fizzin do you need to use to  be able to provide meals for the whole family an adult male Fant can weigh up  to 2.5 lb while a female Fant will have a smaller weight which is equivalent to  1.5 lb so if your family has about four people you need at least a chicken that is 2.5  5 to 3 lb to

have enough food for your family members you know the price of Fant meat  is quite High reaching about1 15 to $20 per pound while regular chicken meat cost us from $46 per pound and chicken here is  reaching the price of5 5 to $7 per pound pheasant meat has a unique flavor and  texture making it a popular dish in many parts of the world vant meat has a lower  fat content higher protein content and richer flavor Fant meat is also often considered  healthier than regular chicken meat you can also

prepare dishes according to the dishes  you like and your family's General taste in addition to chicken meat their  feathers are used to make hats and jewelry the best quality fizzing feathers are  those from the longtailed Fant the native Fant species the feathers of this chicken species  have bright colors and high gloss they are used to decorate hats the price of  normal hats ranges from $50 to $500 piece the price is quite high and depends  on the type of hat the most expensive Fen feather

hat in Europe is a hat made  from longtailed Fen feathers priced at $1,500 this hat is Handmade by a  French artisan and decorated with intricate motives with such a high  price how many more dollars do you think European farmers will reap every  year from hunting and harvesting this peasant so now I guess the real question is what  do European Farmers exactly do to deal with these wild species if you want to know know more and  more let's continue watching the rest of the video the South Texas

pigeon became a  serious invasive species in the United States after being introduced from Mexico  and Central America in the 19th century this invasiveness is not just only due to  its ability to adapt to a new habitat at but also thanks to its rapid reproduction  rate and the lack of natural enemies in the area South Texas pigeons are well adapted  to a variety of environments including urban areas the ability to reproduce  quickly is a remarkable feature when a female bird can lay two to thre

e clutch  es per year each clutch has two to four eggs in particular the lack of  natural enemies in the United States allows them to grow without  difficulty the major challenge facing agriculture in the United States  is the damage caused by South th suspicions they prefer to eat many important crops  such as wheat corn peanuts and sunflowers according to estimates by the US Department of Agriculture the total damage they cause  to agriculture is about $700 million per year to control the Sout

h Texas  do 12 population hunts are often held these hunts are often hosted by  nonprofit organizations or government agencies aimed at predicting crops  and minimizing the impact of these birds the hunting process usually involves  gathering at predetermined locations using hunting guns to shoot birds and then  collecting the captured Birds South Texas doves are often haunted in field  areas including wheat corn and peanut Fields the number of birds hunted annually in  the United States ranges

from 50 to 100 million with high concentrations in states such as Texas  Oklahoma and Kansas in addition to hunting there are other control measures implemented  to minimize the impact of South Dix's dose vins are omnivorous birds that can attack  many important crops such as wheat corn peanuts and vegetables thanks to their ability  to eat anything they cause significant damage to the agricultural industry  costing farmers billions of dollars each year peasants cause damage to crops in a variet

y  of ways they can directly eat seeds seedlings and mature plants at the same time the act  of trampling or tearing leaves also damages agriculture according to the US Department of Agriculture each year damage caused by Fizz  to crops reaches about $500 million to minimize the impacts of Fons strategic  hunting is an effective means hunts are often organized by nonprofit organizations or government  agencies in the fall when FS are migrating the hunting methods include using rifles  traps and

hunting dogs rifles are the most common method while traps and hunting  dogs are used less frequently but are still effective phants often occur in large  field areas such as wheat corn peanut and vegetable Fields this increases the likelihood of  encountering fizzin when Hunts take place in these areas choosing the right location and time is  important Hunters often observe fiz and tracks to determine where they often appear hunting in the  morning and evening also increases the chance of aead

the number of fants hunted anally  in the United States varies depending on environmental conditions and management  plans however according to estimates by the US Department of Agriculture about  3 million fizzin are hunted each year phant hunting is an important  part of the strategy to control this bur the wild snow gese have become a  serious problem in the United States as well as they become invasive causing  extensive damage to crops pastures and infrastructure to solve this problem the U

S government has  introduced many measures including hunting methods according to the US National  Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration no OAA the invasive wild snow  goose populations have increased significantly from about 500,000 in  1960 to more than 5 million in 202 23 this increase originated from many  factors including habitat degradation in the Arctic where snow geese often  breede and increas in Food Supplies in the United States due to Agricultural  intensification and the storage o

f natural hunting hunting has been identified as an  effective means of controlling snow goose populations according to NOAA in  2023 about 1.5 million snow geese were captured to be able to sell snow geese  Hunters first need to set up fake traps to lure the geese when geese Moves In in  the sky they will see and approach this area hunters will hide in nearby areas  and wait for the opportunity to catch them as the flock of snow geese  approached the hunters began the process they will catch on

e fish at a time  snow goose hunting skills take a lot of learning gese have unique small bodies and are  agile so when they move they are very difficult to aim at Goose meat  obtained from hunting programs contributes to the economic value  reaching about $100 million per year now let's look at other ways  of how to Farmers deal with invasive Birds wild pigs were brought to Florida in the 1500s by Spanish settlers the have escaped  from farms and naturalized in the wild they reproduce and cause

wild Bo  populations to increase rapidly the force were invaded and destroyed by them at a rapid  Pace swamp puddlers are created during wild War forging some areas have serious water pollution  to dat Florida has about 2.5 million animals accounting for about 40% of the total wild  Bo populations in the United States lorda state authorities have taken a number of  measures to control the invasive Wild more population Florida Farmers and Hunters  have accessed the forests with blinds to create

safe and favorable locations to  observe and Hunt feral Hogs choosing such locations not only ensures Effectiveness  in hunting but also requires quietness and avoidance of noise so as not to  ruin the opportunity to hunt wild boes when wild Boors appears Hunters quickly  use hunting tools to take the advantage of the opportunity the wild Bo hunting  process can only be carried out in a team model in which support and interaction  between team members plays an important role teammates not only p

rovide safety but also  supports each other in optimizing hunting strategies ensuring that every operation  takes place effectively and safely from approach to harvest bringing  success and harvesting more Wild boes in the 1930s monkeys were brought to Florida as bets many monkeys have escaped from  their owners and naturalized in the wild the monkey population in Florida has grown to about 4,000 accounting for about 50% of  the total number of monkeys in the United States additionally shifting

monkey  populations to protected areas and flooded forests not only helps protecting  Farmers from their negative impacts but also contributes to maintaining ecological  balance and in predicting the biological diversity in this way efforts to reduce conflicts between  humans and apes not only benefits both sides but also contributes to the protection of the natural  environment this is a great example of how we can find Humane and Sustainable Solutions to  live in harmony with other species on

our planet about 20% of python are invasive  in the Florida region in the United States creating a unique challenge  for local farming communities and residents this is a carnivore dangerous  not only to the natural environment but also a formidable partner of  farms and residential areas they often reside mainly and flooded  forests especially in South Florida their presence increased the risk to  the safety and sustainability of these areas with this large body dealing with  Pythons requires p

rofessional skills and caution Florida Farmers have developed  special methods to effectively catch pythons you move gently to areas  with Pythons using just enough strength to cat them and hold them tightly  holding the Python's head is important to avoid the risk of being bitten and  requires creativity and specialized technique the python catchers  must have strong Health to face challenges of the Python side and  strength every day they can catch three to five pythons which is a job  that re

quires a lot of patience and discip so since these Solutions have been  affecting in preventing the growth of colonies of some invasive species do you believe in  any other better solution if so please don't forget to share your comments and opinions  down below plus don't forget to share like And subscribe to support our Channel with  our upcoming videos and lastly don't forget to share this video with all your friends so  that they can watch it and enjoy it as well
