I have a pair of golden pheasants, the male is a coming 2 year old and then hen is a year this spring. They’ve been fairly content buddies over the fall and winter but spring is finally coming, the wild ringnecks are certainly out and about and I’ve caught my male displaying a couple times. The problem is the hen thinks he’s gone nuts, she freaked out a couple times and just tried to get away from him. They used to roost together at night but now they are on opposite sides of the pen. She roundly avoids or ignores him, he’s getting frustrated and making obnoxious calls to remind her he’s there! Will she get more romantically inclined as the breeding season progresses (or she matures) or is he doomed to frustration and me to infertile eggs?
