  1. Bird-Lore - The Pheasant

    Share Share Post
    The pheasant is a large game bird. It is about 3 ft long including the tail, which represents half the length of the bird. The plumage is beautifully mottled brown and buff, with changeable lights of blue and green over the breasts of the birds. The nest is built on the ground among heather or dead leaves or branches, the female hatches ten to twelve eggs at a time.
