Do you know some iconic differences between the Black-Breasted Pheasant (Phasianus elegans), the Black-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), the Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus), and the Green Pheasant (Phasianus versicolor)?
I didn’t. I’ve just looked at photos of each of them. Funny how they can all look so similar but also have slight differences in plumage. Handsome birds. I think facially they’re a bit more expressive than some other birds too.
Did you also know that the Ring-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus torquatus) is more closely related to the Green Pheasant (Phasianus versicolor) than it is to either the Black-Necked Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) or the Black-Breasted Pheasant (Phasianus elegans)?
