The Silver Pheasant is, by far, the most uber-cool bird for feathers for arts and crafts.
We raised our flock of pheasant in a way that means these are cruelty-free feathers. But the Silver Pheasant were not of the same philosophy. They hunted our other birds like a pack of raptors, but they did it with stealth.
We didn’t figure out what had happened to our Ringneck Pheasant until much later. We thought a predator had gotten into the pen, and then escaped after the kill.
The Silver Pheasant were the predators. Once we separated them, as we should have done in the first place, they stopped hunted. They didn’t attack each other. They did stalk us though.
The males are white with black markings, and the females are brown on brown. The males have glorious red face armor, and red legs – crowned with enormous spurs. Their chest and belly are clad in black feathers that are actually so iridescent that they flash teal, purple, green, and cobalt in direct sunlight.
When they are about three years old, their wing and tail feathers defy description. White with penciled black markings, no feather quite the same.
Silver Pheasant feathers are primarily available from overseas, and our stock is limited, but we are very proud to be able to offer them.
