  7. Feast your eyes on one dazzling bird: the Golden Pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus)! Males of the species have an eye-popping array of plumage that includes a golden-yellow crest, a bright red belly, and patches of green and blue throughout their bodies. Although it's capable of short trips through the air, this bird isn’t a strong flier and tends to stay grounded.

  12. Chickening out: Why some #birds fear novelty phys.org/news/2025-10-chickeni

    A large-scale study across the avian clade identifies ecological drivers of neophobia journals.plos.org/plosbiology/

    "#Grebes and #flamingos exhibited the highest #neophobia while #falcons and #pheasants were among the least neophobic species, approaching food quickly regardless of the unfamiliar item... the study found that two ecological drivers strongly predicted neophobia: dietary specialization and migratory behavior."

  16. #NZ #OneTreeHill #Pheasants One young man and his 11 lady friends out searching for some breakfast this morning.

  17. #NZ #OneTreeHill Spotted 105 #Pheasants on my walk today (broke my previous record from last year by 5). It helped that I had a quick start with this fine looking young man and his 7 lady friends ...

  18. #OneTreeHill #Pheasants #Auckland 4 female pheasants enjoying the morning sun after yesterday's storms. There was another group of at least 8 boys & girls sitting in the long grass behind them.

  19. @Rojertb Long past time to stop importation of (non-native) #pheasants. Fed, raised and protected for rich idiots to shoot at during the season. After that they’re of no interest and just released to die on the roads and to raid neighbouring gardens for native birds’ food. Increased potential for acquisition of Lyme Disease is just another ‘bonus’.

  23. Coated in dazzling colors, male Lady Amherst Pheasants attract mates with elaborate courtship dances. Found in parts of China, the tail feathers of this bird can reach 31.5 inches (80 cm) long! This female, however, seems unimpressed.
