Qianxi Seven-Colored Pheasants

　　Seven-colored pheasants, commonly known as wild pheasants or simply pheasants, are most widely distributed in China in the form of ring-necked pheasants. They are named for their vividly colorful plumage. Male pheasants can grow up to nearly 0.9 meters in length, with splendid feathers and a distinctive white ring around the neck. Females are smaller in size, with shorter tails, an overall sandy-brown color with spots. They prefer to inhabit grassy hills covered with creeping plants, and migrate to mountain-foot grasslands and fields in winter. They feed on grains, berries, seeds, and insects. They are good at running but cannot fly for long periods. Seven-colored pheasants are a precious bird species valued for their feathers, meat, medicinal uses, and hides, making them a beloved delicacy.
