The pheasant (Fasan)
An admired game bird that lives mostly in grain fields, the pheasant is a bird that flies rarely and feeds on insects, grains and plants. The most common species is the hunting pheasant, recognizable by the white ring around the neck of the male.
Pheasants are characterised by the great difference in appearance between the males and females: in contrast to the colourful plumage of the male, the female’s is generally drab and her tail is much shorter.
