Fazanul Argintiu
In Moldova, like in the majority of European countries there exist old hunting traditions. At the heart of these traditions stand the feelings of love towards nature, respect towards birds and animals, care about increase of their number and expansion of their habitat.
Paying a tribute to traditions and willing to make a contribution to the development of fauna, in the year 2006, on the basis of the only farm in Moldova on breeding of pheasants, situated in the South-East of the country, 92 km far from Chisinau there was created a modern hunting complex called "Fazanul argintiu", the main goal of which is breading of pheasants, partridges, chukars and wild turkeys, in order to settle them in the adjacent hunting areas.
Besides that, in the frameworks of the complex there are bred such birds as guinea fowl, peacocks and ostriches, thanks to which many private collections of fancy birds in Moldova and outside of it are added.
In the hunting areas of the complex, situated within a radius of 10 kilometers, there are created perfect conditions for habitation and reproduction of red deers, moufflons, roe deers and wild boars. The complex disposes of quite big herds of these animals, which, by the number of heads and trophy value are unique in Moldova.
