Way back in olden times when I was a kid, I had this neighbor across the holler from where we lived who had flunked a couple grades and I had caught up with him.
He was the sneakenest, lyingest, thievingest kid in school; however, he had a most unique hobby; I guess he had to steal to sponsor his hobby.
He had two long chicken-wire covered sheds/pens, one full of Grouse and the other full of Ring-Necked Pheasants.
About the only thing that stuck in my mind was that at a certain time, he had to separate the pheasants, else they would kill each other; I don't remember the particulars, just that they would go at each other like fighting roosters until only one was left alive.

Beautiful birds. They have a sort of regal look about them.

I like how you photographed them together and then got separate shots -
that male sure is pretty - but then again, in the bird world, aren't they all.
