• There are many color forms of the male Common pheasant which range in color from nearly white to almost black in some melanistic examples.
• When the weather is bad, pheasants can stay in their roost for several days even without food.
• Pheasants are able to swim and they also frequently take dust baths in order to remove dead skin cells, excess oil, and old feathers.

The Common pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) is a colorful bird renowned for the striking plumage of the male. It is native to Asia but has been widely introduced elsewhere as a game bird. In parts of its range, namely in places where none of its relatives occur such as in Europe, where it is naturalized, it is simply known as the "pheasant". The Common pheasant is a well-known gamebird, among those of more than regional importance perhaps the most widespread and ancient one in the whole world. It is one of the world's most hunted birds; it has been introduced for that purpose to many regions and is also common on game farms where it is commercially bred.
