Description

RING-NECKED PHEASANT by PRISCILLA BURGERS

The common pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) is a bird in the pheasant family.
It is native to Asia and has been widely introduced elsewhere as a game bird. In parts of its range where it is naturalized, it is simply known as the "pheasant". Ring-necked pheasant is both the name used for the species as a whole in North America and also the collective name for a number of subspecies that have white neck rings. The common pheasant is one of the world's most hunted birds. It has been introduced for that purpose to many regions, and is also common on game farms where it is commercially bred. Ring-necked pheasants in particular, are commonly bred and were introduced to many parts of the world; the game farm stock can be considered semi-domesticated. The ring-necked pheasant is the state bird of South Dakota, one of only three U.S. state birds that is not a species native to the United States. Pictured here is a male pheasant, which is larger and more colorful than a female pheasant. This pheasant was photographed in Idaho.
