Description


Spectacular in it's breeding livery this Cock Pheasant never ceases to amaze me with the wonderful colours and scale like lower body feathers Males are thirty to thirty six inches long (this includes a long tail that may reach twenty one inches in length), with an average wingspan of thirty two inches. The head and neck are strikingly iridescent green-blue or purple with a white collar that separates the head and neck region from the rest of the body. On the face there is a bright patch of red skin on the cheeks and around the eyes, forming red wattles below the eyes. Iridescent greenish ear tufts grow on the sides of the head. The overall body color is an iridescent bronze, mottled with brown, black, white and green markings. The long reddish brown tail has dark barring across the feathers. The male has a short spur on the rear of the foot. The female or hen, is, overall, a mottled brown, lacking the bright colors of the male. Her average length is twenty one to twenty four inches with an eleven- to twelve-inch yellow brown tail.

Beautiful image, though as a bird they tend to hide in bushes & then scare the **** out of you when they suddenly panic and flap off with a great cacophany!!
