Probibly ringneck pheasants

Actually The Goldens Are Much More Docile And Personable. And Just As Hardy As Ringnecks Tho Usually A Bit More Pricey. While I Dont Place A Higher Value On Individual Speces, If You Start With Ringnecks And Get The Fine Tuning Done At Least If You Loose A Bird Or 2 You Wont Be Loosing A Nice Ornamental Bird.

I would have to agree with the goldens. I sold my ring necks because they were just too flighty and aggressive. I really like the reeves but they can be a little aggressive to both captor and cage mates, especially during the breeding season and I heard the silvers are similar. The goldens however seem to be very docile and get accustomed to the captor faster than the others. This is my own personal experience but I hope it helps.

Any of those four breeds is good for a beginner.But yes the goldens are more docile then the others.
In N.H.,Tony.

Yes the Goldens.

Ringnecks are bad about pecking,unless they have lots of room, reeves the males can be hard on the hens.
