The pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) is a bird of striking beauty, known for its vibrant plumage and long tail feathers. Native to Asia but now found worldwide, the male pheasant dazzles with its iridescent colors, while the female is more subtly camouflaged.

Pheasants are ground-dwelling birds that thrive in grasslands, woodlands, and farmlands. They feed on a variety of seeds, fruits, and insects, playing an important role in their ecosystems. Known for their quick bursts of flight and melodious calls, pheasants are admired for their elegance and adaptability.

While pheasants are commonly raised for game in some regions, efforts are also underway to preserve their natural habitats and maintain their populations in the wild, ensuring that these feathered jewels continue to thrive.
