I wonder if having such a long tail would be annoying? What are pheasants like personality wise?

Wonder no more! How's this for long tail feathers? over 6 feet! Pheasants have a whole range of personalities, just like people do!

Yes, he was! It was a male Reeves pheasant. He escaped from his enclosure when he was a juvenile. I was unable to recapture him, so he 'free ranged'. He survived for 4 1/2 years before succumbing to a predator.

Thanks, he was fun to observe and would come around everyday or every other day during feeding time. I put feed and water out for him but the deer usually got the feed! I tried many times to recapture him but he was too smart to fall for any of my ways to recapture. He would follow me around on occasion when I was on my 4 wheeler. Here's a video of him chasing me!

Yep, most don't make it a week, those that do usually don't make it a month. That's why it's hard to believe and I wouldn't believe it had I not witnessed it myself.

He was stunning. I'm sorry for your loss.

That's awesome. He was very cute. Would he let you pet him?
