Pheasants are susceptible to the same things that peafowl and turkeys get... If you don't think it respiratory I would be highly suspicious of blackhead or capillary worms. Has it lost weight? What does the poop look like? I think pheasants are more stoic than peafowl, so I would treat this as a life threatening emergency.

It could be CRD
Give the bird some-------- tylan
Shot or powder

If the bird has CRD, it will always have it and will pass it on to all eggs and chicks
