Mr ( Cock) Pheasant

The common pheasant is widespread throughout the world,

Studies have shown that only mature cock pheasants hold territories in prime habitat, usually along the edge of a wood; younger males are forced to live away from the woodland edge.

The cock pheasant proclaims its territory with a distinctive two-syllable crow.

A successful cock may have a harem of up to half a dozen hens. However, the majority of cocks are less successful, and many fail to breed, this cock pheasant has 6 wives.
