Phasianidae

Description

The circle of relatives Phasianidae includes some of nature’s most striking avian gems. Not only are they some of the grandest, most sought after in aviculture, they’re as diverse and breathtaking as the landscapes they inhabit. The genus Phasianus or ‘true pheasants’ has the most expansive range of all. This work introduces all of the genus. For the first time this group has been documented by the largest compilation of skins thus far, providing a tangible and accurate guide for aviculture in addition to bringing awareness to these magnificent and grossly lost sight of game birds. Regarded as by many to be jewels of nature, Phasianus faces elimination in its Asian range, and hybridization in captivity. Wishing to preserve for posterity the real phenotypes, the writer presents an in-depth study of this genre, which includes actual museum specimens, detailed anatomical plates, helpful identification methods and distribution information.
