The Many Colors Of The Pheasant
The traditional ring neck pheasant, or common pheasant, is a very pretty bird, with red and deep emerald/blue feathers on its head and rich golden brown feathers covering its body. However, the ring neck pheasant's plumage pales in comparison to that of it's colorful cousins. It looks, well, pretty common.
Pheasants' plumage actually spans the color spectrum from white to nearly black. Some of these colors are natural and others are the result of captive breeding and hybridization.
