Rearing and protecting them, organising shoots has become a major rural industry. Pheasants, first recorded in England in 1059, are now widespread throughout Britain and Ireland. One theory is that they were introduced by the Romans from Asia. The common pheasant derives from the Chinese ring-necked, black-necked and Mongolian breeds, and accordingly varies in plumage. This has produced two forms - those with a white neck-ring and those without. Pheasants are ground dwelling birds, vulnerable to foxes, stoats, weasels and other predators. Due to the efforts of gamekeepers, who also supply winter feeding, pheasants survive in larger numbers than would be possible if they were left to fend for themselves. The pheasant shooting season starts on October 1st, but in practice very few pheasants are shot before the end of October and indeed the size and quality can be poor during that month. The glut of birds tends to start about two weeks into November.

The K6 Jubilee Kiosk, as it is known, was similar to the K2 box, being made of cast iron and painted red but was 25% lighter in weight. By the end of the 1930s there were 20,000 K6 telephone boxes in use all over the UK.
