Barring the use of a hawk, most birds and small game were taken with nets and 
traps. 

Platina does mention quail as being a winter food, IIRC. Quails and pheasants 
have similar breeding patterns.

Since SCA policy currently prohibits purchasing different foods for high 
table than what are not being served to the general population, This does not 
preclude fixing the same food in a different manner though. :-) I would guess 
that the pheasant being served to high table is a donation. If so, then I 
would just go ahead and serve it as an extra treat. Many feasts have been 
ruined because of outside interference in the kitchen stewards duties. I 
would set a menu and be firm about it, personally.
