The Common Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) is a gamebird in the
pheasant family Phasianidae of the order Galliformes. This bird is
also called the Common or English Pheasant, or just Pheasant. The
birds are found on wooded land and scrub. They feed on the ground
on grain, leaves and invertebrates (= animals without internal
skeleton, such as larvae, earthworms, millipedes, snails, spiders),
but roost in trees at night. While pheasants are able
short-distance fliers, they prefer to run: but if startled they can
suddenly burst upwards at great speed, with a distinctive
"whirring" wing sound. Their flight speed is only 27 to 38 mph when
cruising but when chased they can fly up to 60 mph.
