  The Pheasant CollectionWhile there are over 30 species of pheasants, who share similar traits including the intense coloring and larger size of males, the most commonly known, is…the Common Pheasant, also known as the Ring-Necked or Chinese Pheasant for its Asian origins. But the name is all that is common about this exotic looking bird that has enjoyed favored status for centuries, appearing in book plates as early as the 14th century. Its very handsome appearance has made the Pheasant a popular theme for home décor accents, providing a Nature theme in glorious color that gives it a regal appearance. © Leila D. Platt
