Swinhoe's Pheasant as a pet

[BigRedHenny]

Can anybody here provide any detailed information about Swinhoe's Pheasants as pets? There's not a lot of videos on YouTube showing owners interacting with a Swinhoe's Pheasant. If you had to choose between a male Ringneck Pheasant or a male Swinhoe's Pheasant, which would you select and why?

Thanks. But why?

They're more personable.

I’ve personally only had ringneck and melanistic (ringneck) but in general male pheasants are much more open to interaction/taming given you have enough patience and give them the proper space and environment to feel safe.
