Green Pheasant

The green pheasant (Phasianus versicolor), also known as the Japanese green
pheasant, is an omnivorous bird native to the Japanese archipelago, to which
it is endemic. Some taxonomic authorities consider it a subspecies of the
common pheasant, Phasianus colchicus. It is the national bird of Japan. The
male (cock) southern green pheasant, P. v. versicolor, has dark green plumage
on the breast, neck, mantle, and flanks. The male also has a bluish-purplish
hood with clear ear tufts, red wattles, and a long, pale grey-banded tail. The
female (hen) is smaller than the male, with a shorter tail, and has
brownish-black colored plumage, with dark brown feathers fringed pale brown.
The males of this subspecies have the darkest plumage, which is mainly green.
The male Pacific green pheasant, P. v. tamensis, has lighter plumage than the
nominate subspecies. Its feathers are more purple and blue. The male northern
green pheasant, P. v. robustipes, has the lightest plumage and its crown and
mantle are more bronze than those of the other subspecies. The females of all
three subspecies look much more similar, though, like with the males, the
females of P. v. versicolor normally have the darkest plumage and the females
of P. v. robustipes have the lightest. In the wild, green pheasants eat small
animals, such as worms and insects, grains and plants. They are, in captivity,
sometimes fed pellets, seeds, plants and live food. The green pheasants'
breeding season starts during March or April and ends in June. Green pheasants
can first breed when they are about one year old. One clutch has between six
and fifteen eggs. The eggs are incubated for 23 to 25 days. It is found
throughout Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu as well as some smaller islands; it has
also been introduced in Hawaii and (unsuccessfully) in North America as a
gamebird. It inhabits woodlands and forest edges, brush, grassland, and
parkland.
