Here are some of the pheasants we've been working with for over 20 years. Edwards Pheasants was assessed for The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in 2018 and listed as Critically Endangered. It is one of the most endangered species of Galliformes. Their population is decreasing, with 50-249 mature individuals right now, according to IUCN Red List. Any remaining subpopulations are likely to be extremely small and declining. They have not been spotted in the wild since the year 2000. Intense hunting and trapping, habitat loss due to herbicide spraying during the Vietnam war, logging, and clearance for agriculture has significantly affected the population of this species. Khe Nuoc Trong, Bac Huong Hoa, Phong Dien, and Ke Go are reserves where these birds could reside. An Action Plan was published for this species in 2015.

Berlioz's Silver Pheasant (L. n. berliozi)
Silver pheasants are quite popular in captivity and easily bred, especially in Europe and Asia. They're now much rarer in USA. This subspecies is only known from a couple of collections in Europe and the United States. And we were lucky enough to acquire two pairs from the imports.

Incubator is full, finally getting some true pheasant eggs that they haven't eaten, so maybe just maybe we can start hatching some out. We also have Turkey, Golden, Pumpkin and Brown Red OEGB, Black Copper Marans and Berlioz's Silver Pheasants also some Reeves.
