Do male pheasants crow?

Our ring-neck type males are very loud during the breeding season, they sound off and wing beat very often this time of year.. they start early before breeding season and do it late after the breeding season is over..if your nabors are fairly close they will know you have this type if raising them..

however my Edwards pheasants you don't even know there here.. only time you here them is when your at there pen, but its so faint, nobody would ever know you have them..

I love the crow of a ringneck rooster, brings me back to my childhood when I'd wake up hearing them crowing in the fields behind the house. That's when there still were wild birds. Now suburbia has covered their former haunts.

I can tolerate ringnecks, it's the goldens that make me cringe!

That screech runs up my spine!
 
My ringnecks crow all year long and all day long. My red golden male makes a some what loud sound but he has only done it since its become breeding season and I put a hen in with him. My amherst are only loud when they see the cat. My peahen only makes noise when your shoveling lol. Elliots are super quite, and the reeves is always making noise for some reason or another.
 
My red golden wakes us up at dawn screeching like a parrot...the neighbors are a quarter mile away and they hear him. He only started doing it this week...hope it's just in breeding season!!!!!!!!!!!
 
My Red Golden male has been screatching like a parrot early early in the morning....My Yellow Golden is super quite...I think my Red is trying to call up his buddies since he is in a new area. Hopefully he doesnt keep this up and my neighbors wont say anything.
 
I remember thinking how quiet they were. The hen would make a little noise that sounded like water droplets, the male wouldn't really make any noise at all. Then spring came. Holy cow. The male sounds like wild birds in the jungle. And they fluff up and hiss.
When I moved them to their new and larger lot, they started making all sorts of other sounds. Little chirping sounds.
During regular times of the year, your neighbors would have no clue they existed. But, during spring in the morning and evening, they'll know!!
 
I have a pair of red goldens. It is spring/mating season and he is making one of the loudest squeaking noises I have ever heard. It starts around 4:30'in the morning and it's 9:30, and he is still going at it. This has been happening every day now for about two weeks. He is driving my husband crazy! Lol
 
Every time I hear any-one of them it is music to my ears. The peacocks are the loudest (blue, more than green). Gray peacock pheasant are the most jungilie. (o.k. Not a word but my best description). One of there sounds is identical to some car door unlocking sound (sorry, best I can get unless you have heard it). Common pheasant (ringneck), short loud, heavy wing beat. Reeves (atleast mine), very vocal, but you only hear them when you are close and they are talking/scoulding you. Eared pheasants can be loud and if vocal for long something is wrong, come running with a gun. Goldens, amhearst, silver, etc.... Don't even compare to a domestic rooster. If you live in town and people complain about your pheasants making very little noise, get a dozen roosters, let the neighbors *****, get rid of the roosters, they won't even think twice about your pheasants. Good luck.
