¿Quién soy?
I am a medium-sized bird, with a pear-shaped body, a small head, and a long, thin tail. Males of my species have multi-colored plumage, with long tails and wrinkly eye patches. Females have lighter shades, brown or beige. I am a very social bird, and I live in large groups called "harem", led by a single male.
¿De qué me alimento?
I eat a wide variety of plants, such as grains, seeds, sprouts, and berries, as well as small invertebrates and insects.
¿Dónde vivo?
I like to live in grasslands and close to farms and crops. I prefer open areas like fields with trees, bushes, or swamps so I can hide. I am a species native to Asia but have been successfully introduced to Europe, North America, and Oceania.
Para que me conozcas mejor
Nesting in pheasants. The incubation time for our chicks is 23 to 25 days. Typically, we lay 10 to 12 eggs, but occasionally we can lay more than 20 eggs per nest.
