Pheasants with blinders~ Question

[GPN]

MY ringneck pheasants came with blinders on when i bought them! The Question is will they mate with blinders on or would they do better without them? Next question is do the have the show the golden pheasants do when mating? Thanks for your help!

I know they can mate with the blinders on. We only use blinders on our cockbirds..not the hens. I'm not sure what you mean by the show, as I've never had goldens, so can't answer that question.

The courtship of the Ringneck is different than the Golden.

Although both (and most) species will spread their tail in a "fan".
