The Pheasant: Close Up HD Footage (Phasianus colchicus)

Pheasants are big, colourful birds you'll often spot in the British countryside. The males are proper showoffs, with bright red faces and shiny green heads. Their bodies are a mix of copper and gold feathers. The ladies are more plain-looking, with brown feathers that help them hide when they're sitting on eggs.
These birds originally came from Asia, but they've been in the UK for ages now. They love hanging out in farmland and woods, where they can find plenty of food and places to hide. Pheasants aren't fussy eaters - they'll munch on seeds, berries, and even small bugs.
In the autumn, pheasants are a big deal for game shooting. But even if you're not into that, they're still fun to watch. They're not great flyers, so they often run away when they're scared. If you're lucky, you might see a group of them strutting about in a field.
Pheasants lay their eggs in spring, usually about 10 to 12 at a time. The chicks grow up fast and can fly after just a couple of weeks.
