As for the room that pen has easily 65 square feet but i really want to make it more than this around 80 square ft would be even better. Hopefully by fixing the space problem and light the pen will be better.Thanks for your help, Reeves i appreciate it

How much headroom do they have, and can they take flight?StevePheasant Hollow Farm
Every Galliformes, even every birds, should get the place necessary to fly, it's needed to keep them healthy. I know you want to do the best you can with your bird, but if you don't have the place, you're better to don't get the birds... ThanksFrank
One of the best way to understand a bird is by reading about their wild habitat and try to reproduce the same. It might seems weird, but many people would think that because Ringneck pheasant are almost entirely field birds, that every pheasants are field birds.Anyway, have a nice visit to the zoo!Frank
their not a wild bird so why people think their field birds is wierd.
Quotetheir not a wild bird so why people think their field birds is wierd. Am I well understanding? Are you meaning that Golden Pheasants are not wild birds? Frank

Did you mean to say "they're not a wild bird, so why people think they're field birds is weird"? Or did you mean "why people think their (own) birds is weird" According to Frank's reply, he seems to think you mean that Red Golden and Ornamental Pheasants are not field birds. I thought the Goldens were generally considered to be ornamental (at least in the West). If that's what you're trying to say, I think maybe you do need to do a little more research (or perhaps, if I cared, I would need to). Does this mean that since Lions and Tigers and Rhinos are displayed "ornamentally" in zoos, they are not wild animals, and do not "grace" fields (or Savannas, or Jungles)? I was unaware that these birds had "evolved" in flower gardens, and back yards in China. Thank you for enlightening me.
I think that Birdlover just use the wrong words. Golden are ornemental and wild birds, Ringnecks (and other commercial game birds) are more like commercial and wild birds... Some Common Pheasant sub-species are considered as ornemental, but the Ringneck that we see here, even if it's a beautiful bird, isn't considered as an ornemental bird.Frank
What i meant was that not all pheasants are field birds.
So, if Golden Pheasant aren't field birds, what are they?
