Taming a pheasant with food

[QuailMan6666]

Is it okay if I tame a pheasant by making it eat only from my hands two times a day? Or should I leave food in a bowl for it all day?

Why would you want to impose such stress on a wild bird? Yes, even raised in captivity pheasants are wild birds.

I apologize for my posting. I will leave food available at all times for my pet pheasant. I will tame her by just spending time with her and offering treats

As @sourland stated, pheasants have not been kept in captivity as long as chickens have been kept. They are gamebirds, and as such, should not be made 'pets'. Your bird needs a balanced and complete feed ration at all times, they don't need treats, either....they are not like dogs or cats, if you want a pet, get one of those!

Because of the way their brains are wired I don't think you can tame a pheasant.
