Ijima Copper Pheasant

[glscottjr]

I was just curious if anyone had any of these pheasant in the US. I was browsing and came across a website from the UK and these are beautiful birds. I would like to know if they are raised over here and whether eggs or birds could be purchased.

Thanks,
Greg

Never seen them before, but they are very pretty! Good luck finding a breeder. maybe try ebay for eggs?

I personally don't know any breeders, but i know they are here in the US, right now their is a 2010 scintillated copper male for sale on bidbirdauctions.

Thanks for the info.

I am going to watch the auction. Might just have a male Copper soon.

The auction says some of the tail feathers are broken. Do they grow out or back?

Jeff Berger in Wa has them.He is on here once in a while.His user name is Casurius.
All breeds of coppers are very flighty.
