yo Aviary Pheasants. 



birds proved that, when well fed and cared for, even 

 though late hatched, they make good stock pheasants. 

 Probably they would have died in a wild state, being 

 too weakly to withstand the wet and cold of autumn. 

 I am hoping to re-introduce the original breed of 

 pheasant the true Colchicus. He is a dark bird, of 

 course without the ring on neck ; that came from 

 China, and it is found as you approach Europe the 

 ring gradually ceases, and when we get to Asia Minor 

 we have a fine, handsome bird, larger than the Ring- 

 neck of China.
