THE EARED PHEASANT 



the whole build of the bird is of a very masculine type, 

 its physical development being of a much more massive 

 character than that of other species. Specimens do fairly 

 well in aviaries, and have been reared in the Zoological 

 Gardens as well as by various private owners. The only 

 use of the Eared Pheasant in Great Britain is as an orna- 

 mental bird, but there are other species much more suitable 

 for this purpose.
