A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.
I remember seeing a trained pheasant act about 20+ years ago on Bentley Bros. And I thought of this poster, one of a series of about a dozen wonderful Sells poster designs incorporating the pedestal and issued in 1895. Any idea, Wade, of who might have trained or presented the act on Bentley? I recall an unusually large number of varied animal acts on the show that year. Wally Naughtin was there as I recall but can't seem to remember anyone else on the show. Dick Flint Baltimore
Dick, I never heard of pheasants, but Tabak(don't recall his last name, alibied to age) I seem to recall did something with peacocks, although(again age) I don't recall which show. Possibly Toby Tyler.
