A Little about the Golden Pheasant

[@marquitamarina1486]

Mandarin ducks have beautiful colors, too, as do wood ducks. The Himalayan mono pheasant is the most beautiful IMO

[@jefftubbs3860]

Yes. I would agree!

[@dinkohrvat344]

There is no doubt they can win the title of most beautiful bird in the world ! The Rainbow Lorikeet is also very spectacular

[@AlanMolstad]

If you wanted to raise a golden pheasant in North Dakota where it gets down to -50 below windchill, what type of shelter would be helpful for the bird that it could go into ?

[@jefftubbs3860]

A 3 sided plywood structure for a windbreak would be sufficient. It's important that you have perches inside and out 2-3" diameter so when perching in cold weather the ends of the toes are covered by their feathers to prevent frostbite , otherwise they are very hardy. I use maple saplings for perches.

[@AlanMolstad]

Do you have a video showing how to build a good coup for such a bird?

beautiful pheasant

[@MrSlanderer]

It seems an aggressive species. Having lived in the farmlands, I've seen fighting cocks that are more patient with their owners than this. Do golden pheasants require being caged, or are they like domesticated chickens, able to roam free-range while always coming home to roost?

[@life-springs-farmandaviary5908]

Yes they require an aviary, or they will revert back to a wild state.

SUPER COOL

[@sergepetrovskiy643]

I got aviary about 15x15 with some gambel's quail. Could I have gold pheasant in there too? How many male birds could I have in there?

[@jefftubbs3860]

Yes,Golden's get along with almost anything but two males will fight during breeding season .

[@Seany596]

What's your thoughts on ring neck pheasants can they be tame like your golden pheasant?

[@life-springs-farmandaviary5908]

I have raised thousands of ringnecks over the years, but have never had the time to try taming them. Ringnecks tend to be more flighty than the Goldens, but it is probably easy to tame them by using treats as an incentive.

[@Seany596]

@@life-springs-farmandaviary5908 Thanks for responding to my message 👍🏻 So as you say if I use treats, be around them often and try rubbing them more they could potentially be rubbed like some pet chickens or is that a bit farfetched?

[@life-springs-farmandaviary5908]

@@Seany596 It might be asking a lot of them to be that friendly, but you never know ...

[@Seany596]

@@life-springs-farmandaviary5908 maybe if they are used to human interactions as a chick and throughout their life maybe it might help or would it be the same as a golden pheasant tricky to tame but eventually it may work?

[@elijahensor2891]

Great Video! I too have Red Golden, and my male to the best of my knowledge and the breeder I got him from is 100% pure, as he has all the proper coloring. I have him with two hens, and so far this year, two have hatched out very light yellow golden color. Could you offer me some background information on how this mutation occurs, and how I got it out of pure red goldens?

[@life-springs-farmandaviary5908]

I too have had this happen I believe one of your hens has a yellow golden parent which does not mean your birds are not pure , just that the yellow gene is present .

Can you please tell me more about proper care cage size etc can you tame them if you raise a baby. I'm thinking about setting up a small aviary to keep a few do I have to have females around I don't want to deal with having to sell babies

[@jefftubbs3860]

They don't require a lot of space. A pen 5' x 10' would be sufficient for several Golden pheasant. The most important thing is to build it tall 6' plus as they love to perch. I use maple saplings for the perches at least 2" in diameter , if you live in a cold climate the larger diameter perches allow them to cover their toes to prevent them from freezing. They are very cold hardy and do well with very little shelter.

[@racheldrinkard2198]

Are these a candidate for an urban aviary, or too loud? I currently raise chickens but may need to move back into the city. I'd still like to keep beautiful birds, though.

[@life-springs-farmandaviary5908]

They are less noisy than chickens. Males will screech periodically, but not nearly as bad as a rooster crowing. Females make very little noise. If you had a pair, you would likely find that any sounds they made would be much less aggravating than that which chicken hens make when laying eggs. People visiting us have sometimes thought our pheasant sounds were wild birds in the area.

[@ChristianCreates]

They would make a great addition, they are usually very quitet

[@johngoose1497]

The birds legs have been held so long that they are in pain,

[@jefftubbs3860]

I would never hold waterfowl that way , but it is the safest way to hold a pheasant . They have powerful legs and sharp spurs.

how can i get one?

[@life-springs-farmandaviary5908]

Do a search for gamebird breeders near you. You may need to have them shipped to you. Shipping birds is expensive because they can only go overnight shipping. Check the reputation of the breeder to the best of your ability. Talk to them in person or over the phone if you can rather than through email. A good breeder will take the time to answer your questions.
