A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Phasianus colchicus
I found this bird in New Zealand next to my family's RV. The colorful one is most likely the male, and the brown one is probably the female.
Females and males both have the same tales- light brown with dark stripes.
I was wondering if they were native to NZ, but I see Despina has already answered the question. Welcome to Project Noah! : )
