Pheasant chick approves zoo keeper as foster father.
A horned pheasant chick which is extremely independent is being reared by hand at the London zoo.
The mother pheasant refused to look after her eggs and they were put under the care of another bird who succeeded in hatching one.
But the chick refused to go to its foster mother and is now being raised on a mixture of hard-boiled egg, lettuce and seed.
It has its own trade and spends the night in the keepers room beside an electric fire.
Photo shows, the horned pheasant chick fearlessly eating from a spoon held in the mouth of Keeper Arthur Hopper.
26 June 1937

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, a horned pheasant chick at the London zoo has found an unexpected foster father in zoo keeper Arthur Hopper. This independent little bird was hand-reared after its mother refused to care for her eggs. Under the watchful eye of another bird, one egg successfully hatched, but the chick rejected its foster mother and sought comfort elsewhere. Now, this fearless pheasant chick enjoys a unique upbringing. Its diet consists of a mixture of hard-boiled egg, lettuce, and seed carefully prepared by Keeper Hopper. The bond between them is evident as captured in this image from June 26th, 1937. The photo shows the adorable chick fearlessly pecking at food held on a spoon placed delicately in Keeper Hopper's mouth. It is clear that these two have formed an extraordinary connection during their time together. This snapshot captures not only the unusual relationship between a wild animal and its human caretaker but also showcases the dedication and compassion exhibited by zookeepers like Arthur Hopper. In times when nature fails to provide nurturing instincts, it is through such acts of kindness that we witness remarkable stories unfold within our animal kingdom
