FBBird 5 Nov 2010 Lady Amherst's Pheasant -- Thrigby 2008 That's a very good Amherst; no sign of Golden Pheasant blood
C C casarettoaleash 29 May 2013 Are you sure about the species? Looks like a Blood Pheasant. I could be wrong, but this is what I remember a Blood Pheasant looking like.

Click to expand... it is definitely a Lady Amherst's. Blood pheasants look nothing like this. (Try googling some photos and you'll see the difference).

FBBird 29 May 2013 Lady Amherst's OK, I've been keeping the species for over 40 years, but I could be wrong. Actually it might be a Giraffe.

Chlidonias 29 May 2013 giraffes have ossicones on their heads. It's the easiest way to tell them apart from Lady Amherst's pheasants.

FBBird 29 May 2013 Lady Amherst's Pheasant Unfortunately many Giraffe bloodlines have been spoiled by crossing with Golden Pheasants. To effect this mating, the Golden Pheasant cock needs to wear high heels.

Chlidonias 29 May 2013 I believe (if I recall my source material correctly) the problem originally stemmed from breeders confusing Lady Amherst with Lady Rothschild
