The Elliot Pheasant is lovely and beautiful Bird, and the Elliot cock is a commanding and handsome bird. The majority of the cock’s upper body is a stunning dark copper colour, and the tail is heavily barred. The cock’s back is covered in black feathers with white edges. Not just because of all the striking colours and markings, but also because of all the variation. Along with the impression of deep velvet, the chestnut chest and shoulders also have a gorgeous switch from a satin-like appearance to a soft grey through the neck to white. I challenge any great designer to avoid being inspired by these birds.
An beautiful and unique breed of ornamental pheasants is the Elliott’s Pheasant. They can be very good – natured and are simple to tame. Daniel Elliot, a well-known ornithologist and one of the founding members of the American Ornithologists Union, was the inspiration for the name of Elliot’s Pheasants. Elliot passed away in 1915. Males have stunningly attractive features, including a bright red ring around each eye, a pale grey head and belly, a lovely chestnut brown breast and neck, grey barring on the back, and a grey and brown tail. Males are fully plumed by the time they are a year old, but they are not fertile until they are two.
Like the other Pheasant of their genus, Elliott’s are hardy and relatively quiet bird. They enjoy the typical pheasant diet, which includes nuts, mixed grains, some fruit, and occasionally some live food in addition to their game bird pellets. Although they don’t eat a lot of grass.
They do enjoy a nibble. Once the grass starts to “get away” from the Elliott’s, we usually rotate them around our aviaries so that other birds can eat it. Most pheasants don’t give long grass a chance to stay that way, but the Elliotts are relatively considerate of plant life.. The colour of females is typically a little duller, with dark brown and grey mottling all over. Young children resemble women. Males can reach the age of 31 inches
Elliot pheasant Breeding pair
Elliot’s pheasant clutches are around 7 or 8 eggs. Then there eggs are taken from them, will continue to different other clutch without a very remarkable break. The eggs are extra small being same in size. or significantly more modest. The chicks are very modest have been not difficult to rear and the young people have blended in with different species genuinely well. I consider one our most serious issues with recently incubated chicks was attempting to keep their minuscule leg rings on them for the initial not many days.

Humans have severely occupied their natural habitat, and they often clear-cut and burn the forests where they reside. All experts saya that the wild population of Elliot’s Pheasants is ending. albeit there is disagreement over how much. Although it is against the law to shoot Elliot’s Pheasants in China, hunting nevertheless takes place, and it is believed that this is one of the reasons why there are fewer of these birds in the wild.
