Gu Yue Female Idle
A trip to the pigeon nest wetland is always impossible to return empty-handed, and today's protagonist is this fancy chicken dressed up.
Daimyo: Pheasant (scientific name: phasianus colchicus), and a bunch of aliases, such as: ring-necked pheasant, pheasant, etc.
There are 30 subspecies of pheasants, distributed all over the world.
Several subspecies in eastern China have white collars around their necks, which contrast significantly with their metallic-green necks; the tail feathers are long and transversely spotted.
Females have dull plumage , mostly brown and brownish yellow , with dark spots , and shorter tail feathers. I only saw it dimly once, and I haven't been able to leave a clear picture.
Although the name of the pheasant is related to the chicken, it belongs to the category of birds.
It is slightly smaller than a domestic chicken, but its tail is much longer, visually about double its body.
There are 18 tail feathers, the tail is long and gradually pointed, the central tail feather is much longer than the outer tail feather, and the male tail feather feathers are separated like hair;
The male has a short and sharp distance on the tarsal, which is a weapon for fighting attacks,
It is said that the length of the male's distance is clearly related to the number of mates he has, which is an important criterion for the female to choose a mate.
The habitat of the pheasant is mainly low hills, farmland, edges, swamp meadows, as well as shrublands and meadows on both sides of the forest edge and road.
Pheasants are not particular about what they eat, and the food they eat varies according to the region and season.
The pheasant has so many advantages that it must have aroused people's interest, so it has been domesticated for a long time, in order to be the beautiful head of the male pheasant.
