Quote:
Copper pheasants- Pacific, Ijima, Scintillating & Soemmerrings are part of the long tailed pheasant family which also includes: Mikado, Humes, Elliot & Reeves.

Long tailed pheasants are from the genus Syrmaticus and ringencks are from the genus Phasianus which are normally called "true pheasants".

I will look for the thread about the different pheasant families.

If anyone has any sources for groups or support with actually "Breeding" please send me a PM or e-mail. I am not sure just what it is this group supports, but it is not breeding. My focus at this time is Grey Jungle Fowl and to a much lesser extent Seramas. I hope to eventually broaden my interest to pheasants of multiple breeds
Thanks

i read this article on one of the links in here i posted, which i thought was interesting..

The Green Pheasant also hybridized with Japan's other endemic pheasant, the Copper Pheasant, although there have only been a few reports of such hybrids in the wild.

You can not get a cross bread of melinistic and ring neck as Melinistic Mutants breed true.

Meaning that if you breed a melinistic with a ring neck you will get one or the other not a combo of both.

The greens that I have pic are not Melinistic in any way. And yes they are not as nice as the one that is pic above.
But green pheasants or Japanese pheasants due have a ring from occasion.

If you own the book Extraordinary Pheasants look on pages 52-53 and 104-105 and it well explain more than that.

My Mutants do not have the ring.

Have a good day, and read up on Greens alittle before you make such an assumption,

Mutant. No question
