A couple of Kalij Pheasants have moved into the neighborhood. They spend most of their time at the unoccupied property next door, but wander up into my yard on occasion. When I went out to take photos, this one beat a hasty retreat.

Very attractive birds. Are they eaten?

Well, they were brought here as gamebirds so I guess they probably are.

I wonder if someone is missing their Kalij Pheasants. Escapees no doubt unless having an Hawaiian holiday from India

Not escapees, but a deliberate introduction as a gamebird in the 1960s!

That’s interesting. Did they displace any local species?

No, there really aren’t too many native birds where I live. This area was part of the sugar plantations so all the native vegetation was removed and with it the habitat for native birds.

They tend to be pretty skittish in my experience.
