Grey Peacock Pheasants
The Grey Peacock Pheasant (Polyplectron bicalcaratum) — also known as the Chinquis or the Burmese Peacock Pheasant — is native to southeast Asia and is the national birds of Myanmar.
The Grey Peacock Pheasant is a large pheasant, averaging about 76 cm (29 inches). Males are grayish birds with irridescent blue-green ocelli (eye spots) on their wings and tail feathers. Females are much smaller and not as colorful as the males. Grey Peacock Pheasants can be tame and aren't usually aggressive with each other. The hens will lay two eggs per clutch and will continue to lay more clutches if the eggs are collected. The hens make good mothers and can hatch their own eggs.
These pheasants do not require very large aviaries. These are tropical birds and they require shelter and heat during colder months. They also require access to shade during the Summer months. They will eat a layer feed, fruits and greens. They will also eat live food such as mealworms.
These birds are not pinioned and can fly. To request that a wing be clipped, please call our office at (800) 456-3280. See our FAQ for more information on states with restrictions on juvenile birds. We recommend checking with your state wildlife or regulatory agency before placing your order.
