Next year I will be trying to see as many Pheasant species as possible in UK collections.
I will started at Dudley Zoo.
I would like to know where other species can be found, I would normally use ZTL but on previous visits to collections holding certain species according to ZTL I found the collections NO longed held the species.
So could we please keep it to actual species at collections please?
 
These species are what I have encountered at different collections over the last three years:

  • Edward's pheasant at Lotherton Hall & Folly Farm
  • Golden pheasant at Reaseheath College Zoo & Paradise Park
  • Salvadori's pheasant at Chester Zoo
  • Malayan crestless fireback at Chester Zoo
  • Malaysian great argus at Chester Zoo, Lotherton Hall & Paradise Park
  • Bronze-tailed peacock pheasant at Chester Zoo
  • Mountain peacock pheasant at Paradise Park
  • Palawan peacock-pheasant at Chester Zoo, Exmoor Zoo & Paradise Park
 
There are a number of private breeders and collections worth checking out, such as Allandoo which has some interesting birds. Usual disclaimer: I've never dealt with them and have no connection with them.
