The most important thing in keeping it is to provide it with plenty of space and a sturdy fence because if left with a poorly constructed aviary you will soon learn that the bird digs with its beak. The bird is considered an easy one to keep or farm for beginners. It's a most common name, Impeyan Pheasant derives from Lady Empeya, a British nobleman's wife who was the first known person to keep the bird in captivity. In captivity, on farms or in zoos, they likely eat pellets made for this type of bird, along with vegetables, some fruit, insects, and grain. They've also been known to eat some berries. In nature, the Impeyan Pheasant eats mainly grass, seed, and insects. However, it's not until 6 months of age that they are completely mature and must go feed and mate alone. They are born precocial, which means they are able to care for themselves independently. The incubation process can last up to 28 days long and the male will stand guard during this time until the chicks are hatched. Once the male has attracted its female mate, the female will scratch a nest in the ground and lay 3-5 eggs she must incubate alone. The male also does a “dance” to attract its mate, fanning its feathers and bobbing its head. The Impeyan Pheasant has several different calls used for different purposes, including a few for mating.

One interesting fact is that the bird was the inspiration for the character Kevin in the movie Up. The feathers are a lot like those of the peacock (unrelated) including metallic green, blue, black, and purple. The center of the documentary was to prevent further decline in population of the bird due to poaching for its meat and its beautiful feathers that have long been a symbol of status and luxury. Physical Excellence “The Bird of Nine Colours” is a documentary written and produced about the bird by Colin Willock.
