The Pheasant (phasianus colchicus) is a genus of the
Phasianida family, introduced into England from the
banks of the Phasis, in Colchis, in the 11th-12th centuries.
It is much bred in England for sporting purposes, being
greatly esteemed as a table bird. The pheasant rarely flies,
chiefly progressing by running along the ground with the
tail horizontal; when it flies the tail is spread. The eggs,
8 to 13 in number, are laid in a hollow in the ground.
