📖 1. Overview

The brown eared pheasant is a large pheasant living in mountain mixed coniferous and broadleaf forests. It forms flocks of 10–30 birds and is also kept in aviaries in many parts of the world.

🦴 2. Anatomy & Morphology

Reaching up to 100 cm in body length, males are dark brown on the head, neck, and upper chest, with long cream-to-whitish tail feathers ending in glossy purplish-blue brownish-black. Females are smaller and lack leg spurs.

🔍 3. Ecology & Behavior

An omnivore, it searches the ground for insects, seeds, and grasses and digs around grass clumps for underground plant parts such as bulbs and roots. Each day it leaves its forest roosts for grassy meadows and returns in the evening, and it is not aggressive even during the breeding season.
