  Green Pheasant, Phasianus versicolor
The females are all very similar, but follow the trend as the males: darker in the south to lighter in the north.
The melanistic forms of Phasianus colchicus are generally darker, the wing-coverts dark olive, not bluish-grey as in versicolor.
This species has been crossed with Phasianus colchicus on some game farms in North America and released, but it is also highly unlikely that there are any pure versicolor in the wild here as well.

 Dustbathing in Relation to Early Pecking Experience in Game Pheasants (Phasianus Colchicus)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Studies on domestic chicks have indicated that preferences for dustbathing substrates are related to early pecking experience before full dustbathing behaviour has appeared.
In this study we investigated if this was also the case in game pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), a close relative of fowl.
Pheasant chicks were kept as pairs in wire floored cages and given either 2 min or 5 min pecking experience by simultaneous presentation of peat and sand on days 2 -11.
