The Golden and Lady Amherst's Pheasant are incredibly beautiful. However, they are quite bloodthirsty predators, and I only learned this when I undertook to raise them. They are very similar to ordinary chickens, merciless and brutal to their co-captives as chicks. I gave up on raising them when one ate the brains of 23 of his fellows overnight.

Thanks!

Edit: Actually, I recall now that it was a Reeve's Pheasant that cannibalized his coopmates, while raccoons or bobcats did in for the Golden's and Lady Amherst's. While I lost my investment in the pheasant rearing business, I felt a sense of relief that I wasn't obligated to care for such monsters anymore.
