Ringneck pheasants are a popular gamebird, known for long tails and beautiful colors. Male ringnecks have copper/gold plumage, red face, and a white collar- females are brown. Ringnecks are very strong fliers and well adapted for life on the ground. They are not a migratory bird.

Hen ringnecks typically weigh 1.75 lbs and roosters weigh in around 2.5 lbs

Ringneck pheasants are mainly ground foragers- they eat seeds, grains, corn, soybeans, insects, berries, and their diet changes with the seasons. For example, in the spring/summer they eat more green, leafy foods and insects.

In the wild, pheasants typically live 1-3 years due to being prey animals. In captivity, their lifespan can reach up to 18 years.
