Welcome to our Homepage for Allandoo Pheasantry. We are breeders of many ornamental and some rare species of pheasant.
All our pheasants make wonderful aviary birds. If you would like to see photos of our birds and aviaries please take a look at Our Gallery. There are around 50 species of pheasant and numerous subspecies. Many of these are endemic to China. They are among the worlds most colourful birds. Sadly the majority of species are in decline, with some pheasants vulnerable or endangered, in the wild. This is mainly due to loss of habitat through deforestation, although, with at least some species, hunting and hybridisation also play a part. Some of the pheasant family are very well known, such as the ringneck pheasant, bred for food and sport. The peafowl is also a member of the pheasant family. Even the domestic chicken is descended from the Red Junglefowl, another pheasant. We believe at Allandoo that breeding ornamental pheasants in captivity can be an important lifeline for them. Very little is known about many of the species in the wild but we can learn a lot from watching and breeding them in captivity. Even spreading awareness that such beautiful birds exist is a great help to their plight. This is what we are trying to do to the best of our ability, so please take some time to have a look at our site and see our birds. We are always adding something extra and welcome any thoughts or ideas you may have on how we can improve. We are very happy to help with any enquiries, if we can, so feel free to contact us or even come and see our birds for yourself. We have 18 species at Allandoo at the moment. Below is a list of the pheasants we keep.
All the pheasant species have different personalities but there are also differences between each individual bird. For more information about each species just click on their name below. | |  A Satyr Tragopan Pheasant
