• “Melanistic”– Original 2004 If you’ve never seen one of these your probably not alone, this is a Melanistic Pheasant mix (melanistic/ringneck). Like the Ringneck the Melanistic was brought over to the states from China. A hearty bird just like the Ringneck, usually found only at game farms, but are also being seen in the wild. I took this bird at a game farm hunt and now have a couple in my pen along with a few other exotics. This is a very beautiful bird like the Ringneck especially in the sunlight as they change from blue to green. $285 + $30 Shipping
