All of those are easy going. Mine are very tame, come up to me when I go in their pen, eat out of my hand, etc...they don't like to be handled tho, only time they get flighty is if a predator comes around or I go into their pen with a shovel, rake, stick.Stop it!Are the Goldens pretty easy going personality wise? I would love some pheasants one day - they are just so beautiful. But I like my birds to not be terrified of me.
I've found someone in NZ who sells hatching eggs and has Goldens and Yellows (and Lady Amherst)! Pretty sure we aren't allowed them in suburbia but we are looking at moving to a rural location. Time to start planning the aviaries!
Their quite most of the time, breeding season they do a lot of calling....which is a screeching sound but other than that, quite peaceful birds.
If you decide to get some let me know, I'll PM you with some pointers to look for in pure bred birds. There's a lot of breeders, if you can call them that (peeps that just happen to have pheasants) that will sell you a crossbred bird and say it's pure.
If you want the true pheasants, that's a different story. They are very flighty, anything and everything scares them. They need different kind of habitational environment. Their beautiful birds as well, here's a few more eye candy! Enjoy!
