Birdland Park and Gardens - can't recall where abouts in the park though.
Edit: Just checked on zootierliste and it shows them as having Edwards, but not Vietnamese. Besides that, the Vietnamese seem to have a white tip to the tail whilst the Edwards don't, which is making me think Edwards is the best bet
Edwards' cock; Vietnamese has white centre tail feathers. I believe current thinking is that Vietnamese is a local inbred form of Edwards' and not even subspecifically distinct.
Edwards' must be the most neglected endangered species in captive culture. The zoos aren't really interested, leaving it to private aviculture, which is a risky strategy at best.
dissagree, at least in the Netherlands several zoos and smaller animalspark are working with the species and also privet-breeders try to keep a healthy population.
Definitely an Edwards'. I keep Edwards' Pheasants, so am very familiar with them. At one time I had a lot of success breeding them (I used to contribute to the European studbook/register), and both cock and hen assisted in the rearing of them, but then unfortunately my breeding female was killed when a predator broke into the aviary. The replacement hen I obtained about 4 years ago lays every spring, and sits on the eggs but never tightly and doesn't go broody like my other one did. (It would've taken a major earthquake to have gotten the original off her eggs). The present one abandons her eggs after a few days of sitting in a desultory fashion. The first season she laid I assumed this was because she was very young and would get better as she got older, but she hasn't got any better. I could try incubators, but I believe firmly in natural incubation and rearing.
