There is no doubt that domestic chickens are domesticated from wild original chickens, because they are most similar in terms of genes and traits, and the key is that they can reproduce normally.
So domestic chickens are divided into a subspecies of original chickens.
Pheasant scientific name pheasant, it and the original pheasant belong to the pheasant family, but the pheasant belongs to the pheasant genus.
And the original chicken is different from the original pheasant, which is like the difference between the tiger and the cat (the same is the cat family, but the tiger is the leopard, the cat is the cat).
In addition to the biological classification, the appearance of the pheasant is also very different from that of the original pheasant.
Both male and female pheasants do not have the same "big crown" as the original pheasant, and the pheasant has a circle of white feathers on its neck.
So it is also called the ring-necked pheasant. Secondly, the pheasant has a long and straight tail feather with brown horizontal spots on it.
In terms of distribution, pheasants are widely distributed in the Asian continent and have been introduced to Europe and America.
At present, more than 30 subspecies of pheasants are known to differentiate.
Pheasants usually build a simple nest in hidden places such as trees and grass.
The nest is bowl-shaped or dish-shaped, which is about 23 × 21 cm and 6-10 cm deep.
The multi-line parent birds dig a shallow hole in the ground, which is covered with withered grass, leaves and feathers, and then the female lays eggs and hatches in the nest.
In the meantime, avoid the male pheasant.
If the male pheasant finds the nest, it will destroy the nest and peck at the egg.
Under the condition of artificial breeding, more hidden egg laying boxes or grass nests should be set up for female pheasants to lay eggs, and the egg destruction behavior of male pheasants can be avoided at the same time.
How to catch pheasants?
1. Shine a bright light on the pheasant's eyes when you see the pheasant, and be careful not to scare the pheasant away.
2. Making traps and throwing wine in the traps has achieved the goal of drunken pheasants.
3. Lure with food and other matchmakers, and then place loops on the ground to attract pheasants to fall into the trap.
4. Sound induction is also a very effective method for hunting wild birds.
Record a pheasant cry with a tape recorder, then set up a trap cage in the pheasant activity, put the tape recorder in the trap cage, cover the cage with black cloth, open the cage trap, turn on the tape recorder to play the sound.
And the pheasant will be lured into the cage when it is heard.
Note that generally only one pheasant sound is used, either with a hen or a rooster.
5. The simple and rude way is to pursue the pheasant with perseverance, and be careful not to lose the target in the process of chasing.
Every animal has its weakness, and the Achilles' heel of pheasants is that when disturbed, they immediately jump into the grass.
However, due to excessive nervousness, it often only hides its head and does not care about exposing its buttocks.
So, it's easy to catch it at this time.
