Pheasants

There are 35 species of pheasant, the most well known being the Common Pheasant which is regularly seen in the British countryside as it is bred and reared for shooting.
All species of pheasant are similar in that the cock bird is ornate and brightly coloured whilst the females are quite drab in comparison.
They are by nature a very flighty, nervous and somewhat stupid bird and to this end are regularly seen dead on the roadside.
They eat a mixture of greenery, seeds and insects in the wild in captivity this is supplemented with specialist pellet feed and mixed corn.
We keep Black (or Melanistic as they are also known) and Golden varieties.
They have large purpose built aviarys allowing for some flight and room to scratch and behave as wild pheasants would.
