PHEASANTS
These are brilliantly colored birds and very good at camouflaging while they walk on grass. All the breeds of pheasants are like dwell on ground and in case of danger they tend to flee on foot. They can only fly in short and fast bursts. Their females live only on ground and look for places that are well camouflaged. Pheasants can be separated in to two categories. Pheasants are very secretive birds and are alarmed quickly. They are not vocal until their breeding season approaches. Pheasants are same in nature as a peafowl, but are wilder in comparison. Their males can be aggressive and can attack with their sharp spurs. Since the males especially the Reeves specie is ill tempered and is not recommended to the beginners Pheasants are hardy birds and live up to 25 years. They can survive in harsh weather conditions as well. Since pheasants are omnivores, it’s easy to feed them. They eat anything, from fruits to vegetables to insects, grasshoppers, slugs, snails and small lizards. If pheasants are not able to get adequate protein it may increase their cannibalistic tendencies. Since they are secretive they require bushes and brush for nesting. They are not good at sitiing on their eggs, hence incubation is required for hatching.

OSTRICH
The ostrich or common ostrich is either one or two species of large flightless birds native to Africa, the only living member of the genus Struthio, which is in the ratite family. In 2014, the Somali ostrich was recognized as a distinct species. Ostriches mainly eat plant matter, but they also eat insects. The plant matter consists of seeds, shrubs, grass, fruits and flowers while the insects they eat include locusts. Ostriches do not have teeth, and so cannot grind food as mammals do. Instead, they swallow pebbles. An adult ostrich carries about 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of stones in its gizzard, a special sac just before the stomach.

Usually most birds chose to stay in the upper portion or middle portion of the cage, Quails prefer to keep their feet on the ground. Since quails love to be in the sand, it is always a better option to provide them with larger space rather confine them to cages only. Quails likes feeding on parrot food but they will love if the food comprises of worms, insects, vegetables especially greens, seeding grass and pre-mix soft foods. Quails require a lot of water so while giving them water you can place a large bowl with pebbles to avoid drowning.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/6″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default”]

Turkeys are kept both as pets and for eating their meat as well. There are different varieties of turkeys, one can fly the other cannot. The ones that can fly are the wild turkeys, they are smaller in size whereas the domesticated turkeys are much larger and cannot fly. It is the domesticated turkey that is preferred for it meat for being meatier than the latter. Domestic turkeys are slower in comparison. Male turkeys gobble while female turkeys make sounds resembling a clucking sound. Although, turkeys can be kept in an enclosed area but they are happier if the get a bigger place where they can roam around. Wild turkeys can fly so it is not a good option to keep them without cages. Turkeys feed on wild nuts, gapes, berries, grass, acorns, leaves, poison ivy berries, honey suckle berries etc. However, they should be fed with pellets. Turkeys are a little messy hence an everyday clean-up is required, but turkeys take care of their grooming themselves.
