they are a monal pheasant
native to Himalaya mountain range
dig like crazy
very cold tolerant, not crazy about the heat
pretty pricey
dont lay a ton of eggs per year
pretty much are second year birds
if fertile, they hatch fairly well, same temps as any other species
added treats go a long way with starting them, and keeping them for that matter
heavy covered pen is really key in breeding and keeping them happy
problem is, they'll dig up everything
not very aggressive like a lot of species
do best away from domestic fowl

They are beautiful!! Can they be easily tamed?

No , dont have any pics of my old birds, dont have them right now, use to keep them in the 90's.
A lot of people have great luck with them as far as tameness. Mine were always very gentle and not flighty at all, but wouldnt let you touch them.
Have heard of a lot of peole getting them to eat out of their hands though.
